Coming from a 10 year old Samsung tablet that still gets 70-80 days of idle time per charge, and on a 10 year old battery to boot, I'm kinda disappointed in my new iPad 11.
I don't use my tablet very often (which is why I'm only upgrading now), but with the iPad 11 I have to go out of my way to charge it at least once a week otherwise it'll be out of juice or close to it when I actually want to use it. With the Samsung this was never an issue - I'd charge it every time I was done using it, and the battery would stay charged until the next time I needed it.
I'm contemplating returning it and getting another Samsung as they seem to be a better fit for my usage, but before I do I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask: is there any way to optimize the iPad so that it uses minimal power while idling?
