I looked on Apple's website to see what the battery is like but I didn't find anything. Is the new iPad M5 coming with better battery life?
 
Apple always states 10 hours for every iPad even if every iPad having the same battery life isn’t true. With light, efficient, and low brightness use, I got 14 hours of SOT with my 9.7-inch iPad Pro on iOS 9 and 10 hours after it was forced to iOS 12; with the same usage, I’m getting around 20 hours with my iPad Air 5 on iPadOS 15; and about 26 hours on my 11th-gen iPad on iPadOS 18.

Apple has improved battery life significantly, yet… states that all of these models get the same 10 hours.
 
According to the Apple website, the battery capacities are 31.29 WH for the 11" and 38.99 Wh for the 13" I think this is similar to the previous model so, expect the same battery life as always, fluctuating between 8 to 12 hours depending on usage.
