(You don't have to read the context below if you don't want to know haha you can just answer the topic question thank you)
I want to use my new ipad pro M1 as long as possible
and I think the problem is mainly about battery health in the long run
so I'm considering buying apple care plus for battery replacement later but they only change it if the battery health "drop below 80%"
but i don't know if after 2 year Will my battery health drop below that? that's one thing
so i think i should check my own ipad that use about 3 year if its battery health drop below that and it show in iMazing that the battery health is 91%. so i think if i use my new ipad pro with the same lifestyle as my old ipad the battery health won't drop below that and the apple care plus would be a waste of money for me

*****
so to summarize. Is iMazing realiable app for checking ipad's battery health. Is it accurate enough to argue with apple support

The log-aggregated file on your iPad is reliable and has much more battery information

You have to turn share analytic data with apple on, then the file is generated every day. Copy & paste the whole text from the recent log-aggregated file to the notepad app and there is a search option.

Neither iMazing nor Coconut match Apple battery check, so from this point of view they are totally unreliable...
They can both show that you battery is at 70% and you are still above 80% with Apple...
When I had a battery replacement service both iMazing and Coconut were showing around 40%, Apple 56%....
Very unlikely that you drop below 80% a new devices in 2 years (80% for Apple, not third party providers...)

Can it be that apple maybe tell false information to customer that doesn't know much about this battery thing to prevent them from getting the service they bought?

IMazing shows the same information as Coconut Battery. From what I have seen, both show consistently the same numbers. Said numbers will different from what Apple looks at.

You can verify this information yourself, it's all in the file on your iPad Pro.

The word false is relative in the world of batteries... You can flex the reality so that it is not technically false... like battery life claims by laptops manufactures...
Apple loses money on those device swaps so they have no incentive in people doing that, which is also against planned obsolescence...
Remember that Apple was pushed to do these battery replacements after a shock PR campaign lead by Casey Neistat back in the iPods days... but the less they do the better for them...

iMazing and Coconut Battery can provide battery health information. I have used both and have found that it displays similar information. So you can use iMazing

There’s no accurate way of determining battery health. It’s always an estimation and that completely depends on the algorithms used by different applications.
