Now that I am used to the amazing battery life of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, I'm a bit disappointed with the battery life of my 12.9 iPad Pro.

So... now we’re comparing the battery life to the iPad Pro versus the iPhone 11 Pro? I don't see the relevance, considering it depends what you’re using your iPad for, which could have different use cases from your iPhone, not to mention if it’s the LTE/Wi-Fi model.

This is very encouraging

Will see how my 11 Pro Max does on my first day out with it tomorrow.

In my experience the best iPad battery life was on the iPad 3 and iPad 4, those iPads had a larger battery than it really required but I guess Apple wanted to fully compensate for the Retina Display and A6X chip (in iPad 4), yet they had ultimately overly compensated and made battery beasts, feels like they did the same with the 11 Pro Max.
 
Since I got my iPad Pro 11’, I’ve used it so much I notice the battery dropping a LOT more than my iPhone 11 Pro Max... because I’m not using it hardly at all. Lol. But yeah, the battery lives of these devices today are awesome.

My iPad Pro is my most used Apple device by a mile.
 
The iPad Pro 12.9 (which I have) has a massive screen to power. Plus unlike an iPhone you can run two apps or even three at the same time. I for one usually have two windows open. The iPhone is one app at a time.
 
Well it's not like you can be highly productive on a PHONE so no surprise there.
