iPad Pro Will the 16GB/1TB Models Have Less Battery Life?

[iBighouse]

Thinking about the 16GB/1TB model. Does anyone expect the battery life to be less with that configuration that it would be with the 8GB/512GB model?

negligible difference?

Interesting ?. Thinking it may be slightly better due to memory swapping ie less.

Battery life is dependent on user settings and app usage, regardless of storage size and RAM.

Interestingly, the 12.9 iPad has a bigger battery now. Let's see if that translates into better battery life for that model.

Probably just big enough to support the Mini-LED display while maintaining same battery life. Could be a big boon for users who normally keep the display at very low brightness, though.

Neither iPadOS nor iOS use virtual memory.

Hey, I thought the Mini-LED was supposed to be more energy efficient? You make it sound like it's not?

OLED is generally more efficient than Mini-LED.

It may be more efficient but peak brightness is also higher.

Ugh, I was going to check details for the battery test on the iPad Pro from the product page but ended up getting this. That extra RAM couldn't come soon enough.

I don’t expect a significant difference if any.
