I have an M4 iPad Pro 13”. After less than one year, my maximum capacity is 89%, with 256 cycle counts. Is this average?

This. I’ve found that iPads drop pretty quickly initially, then stabilize (mostly). The health-to-cycles ratio (which I love to track) is initially abhorrent on iPads. I had 91% after 320 cycles, and now I have 85% after about 780.From my experience iPad battery health tends to drop more quickly compared to iphone but it will stabilize after some time. For exemple, all of my iPads go down to around ~85% in a year or so and then it will stick to that number for like the next 3-4 years.
That looks very bad, but then again being concerned about battery life and installing all betas don’t really go together.My M4 13 inch 2 TB iPadPro is at 158 cycles and 88 percent I noticed the larger drops with the 18.0-.2 betas and it stayed at 90-89 percent til I did the 18.3.x regular updates and then on the 18.4 and 18.5 betas dropped to 88 percent.

Hmm, so identical cycle count and charging practice, with higher battery health overall (mine seems to have stabilised at 92% for now). Oh well, 4% doesn't seem that bad, and I will see how that number changes over time.Launch M4 13" here. Using it daily for hours (VLC/youtube mostly, it's an expensive content device (by choice))
Health normal, 96% max cap. 242 cycle count. I do have 80% limit turned on from pretty much the beginning.
Well battery health before the M4 was not even something I worried about and found iPads easier to test betas on but yeah maybe not a good plan. fortunately my iPad is always near charger wherever I am so i will likely live with this for 3 plus years like I usually doThat looks very bad, but then again being concerned about battery life and installing all betas don’t really go together.
Yeah, if you are going to install betas on it I would just ignore battery health, screen-on time, and all battery measurements. Otherwise you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment.Well battery health before the M4 was not even something I worried about and found iPads easier to test betas on but yeah maybe not a good plan. fortunately my iPad is always near charger wherever I am so i will likely live with this for 3 plus years like I usually do

macOS has something similar, Optimized Battery Charging.I wish they'd add the "80% Limit" option on MacBooks. I know you can do it with third party apps, but it's such a simple thing that it's really something the OS should be able to implement itself.
