Hello Everyone!

I've been using this iPad Pro 10.5 inch since October 2017, Most of the time was charged with de 29w adapter and now, after 307 Cycles, Coconut Battery reports that the wear is now 80%

What do you think? Should I go to the Apple Store and ask for a battery replacement? (I have AppleCare+ until July 2019)

Greetings From Mexico City!
And Happy New Year!

Yes get the battery replaced as it’s hitting 80%. They’ll probably give you a new device.
 
How can you view the capacity left if you dont have a mac? Cant find coconut app on the store on my ipad

I’m pretty sure according to Apple’s software it will be >90%. They report higher values so they don’t need to swap.
 
And you know this from which source?!

Common sense.

I’ve tried 4 iPads. Coconut Battery always shows a far worse score than Apple. Apple will say 100% health. Reality will be 88% health. And so on.

Yeah, you can’t just claim things as facts with that “common sense” tag. As we all know battery meters are all guesstimates and based on specific algorithms. There’s no hidden agenda here.

It is common sense actually. Just get a few dozen iPads that are over 3 months old. Every one of them will show the same thing.

And I take it that you’ve done this study with a few dozen iPads yourself?!

No. 4 is enough. All of them showed the same thing. If you doubt it, pls try what I said. I guarantee you’ll find the same result.

As I said again, without substantial data you can’t make blanket statements and spread false information. You claimed something that you’ve got no proof off.

Want to bet? It’s common sense. Feel free to take up the challenge. And this is only for iPads. Not valid on iPhones or Macs.

The burden of proof is on the extraordinary claimer, not on the person who opposes that claim, as you may be aware of.

You want me to buy 100 iPads to prove this?

What I’m saying is the fact. You not believing it won’t change it. Live in your bubble.

If you’re claiming something to be a - fact - then yes it’s required that you have the proof.

Feel free to go to Apple. I mean it’s your right to go anytime you like. But they will run their own tests because Coconut Battery is not good enough as proof that the battery must be changed. And if their test says that the battery is fine you won’t get a new one. Also be award that it will be a new iPad, they don’t change the actual battery. So have a backup before you go or you’ll lose data

Or maybe the issue is Coconut Battery not being able to read the battery correctly. I know it’s shocking to imagine that a 3rd party app might be wrong but it is possible

And if Apple wanted to avoid swapping devices they could just set the threshold to something like 40%. No law stopping them

I do rely on coconutBattery a lot but I too have experienced taking my wife's iPhone into Apple when it was reporting wild numbers on coconutBattery (40%-60%-90%) and shutting off all the time only to have Apple tell me that the phone was Green (>80%) and refused to do anything about it.

I don't know what to think. I have been using coconutBattery for years and I really enjoy it. I record my phones data frequently via it. I'd like to think it is accurate because it reports the phones own data points.

But I have experienced what @aakshey has stated but I chalked it up to something else because the Genius' iPad clearly said our phone had problems and wouldn't pass tests but he still refused to do anything. I eventually paid for a battery replacement only to have them destroy my wife's phone in the process. We left and went to the Apple Store closer to our house and 6 mins walked out with a new phone and an apology.

Months later got a refund for $55 from Apple because of the great battery debacle.

I don't think there was any great conspiracy and I'd like to think coconutBattery is real. I remain a huge Apple fan and just think that Apple Store was bad. The store closer to our house has always provided excellent service.

Mom's iphone 6 on iOS show 86%....Coconut battery report
56% (1028mAh /1810mAh). I believe what coconut was reporting. Phone was very slow and battery life was horrible.
