just passed the 10 hour usage mark (internet,mail,games,apps,a movie,...)with everything turned on and screen brightness at about 75% and i still have 31% battery left....very impressed!
This is usage time (screen on, actively interacting), not standby. My pro is blowing my air 2 out of the water, I used to get 8 or so hours with it. This iPad is at 4 hours usage and 75% battery right now.That's actually worrying me. My iPad Air 2 I use for daaaaays in a row for FaceTime, Netflix, browsing, mail, social networks, .. I do not charge it for days. My phone gets 15+ hours easily.
Of course it's not stand-by time.. neither is mine.This is usage time (screen on, actively interacting), not standby. My pro is blowing my air 2 out of the water, I used to get 8 or so hours with it. This iPad is at 4 hours usage and 75% battery right now.

Maybe I just don't understand what you consider on-screen,Your phone gets 15+ hours of screen on time? Gonna have to ask for proof or I declare shenanigans.
Maybe I just don't understand what you consider on-screen,
What I consider stand-by is when people wake up at 100%, put it in their pocket, make a few calls throughout the day, check facetime once an hour but the phone is basically on standby in their pocket, not being used.. versus my stand-by where it's in standby next to my bed when i am asleep. The rest of the time it's doing things, when i use it, like right now, when i am on a facetime call while browsing these forums. Uploading the recorded videos from this morning to youtube. And yeah, it will also be in my pocket. But after a day of using it, a handful of hours of not using it while i sleep, and another day of using it.. it's been used 15+ hours. guaranteed.
The phone sitting next to your bed doing nothing is standby time, which isn't really an issue for an iPad. If you count it that way my iPad Pro has been running for 24 hours+ and is still at 70% battery.Maybe I just don't understand what you consider on-screen,

When everyone talks about battery life for a phone it is active usage - playing audio, playing video, reading, browsing the web, etc. Actively using the device. So two minutes of checking email, then putting the device away for ten minutes and then checking email again for two minutes is 4 minutes of usage, not 14.
That's actually worrying me. My iPad Air 2 I use for daaaaays in a row for FaceTime, Netflix, browsing, mail, social networks, .. I do not charge it for days. My phone gets 15+ hours easily.
The battery is probably fine, just the software is not calibrated. A full battery cycle should fix the issue.I may have an issue with mine. Charged it all day, came home from work at 100%, used it for light browsing off and on all night and fell asleep around midnight and used it a bit this morning until it was at 5%. Total hours maybe 6-7? Ill do something a bit more scientific this weekend, but so far im disheartened by it.
16+ hours of use. Settings: LTE on, auto-brightness, few apps allowed background refresh, super minimal notifications (don't like them popping up on my iPad), Bluetooth off so results may change when Apple Pencil arrives, used 95% on WiFi at home.
