Can I download iOS 8.1.2 to my iPad Mini without any problems like battery life and slow performance?

Will ios 8.1.2 slow down the performance of my ipad mini? will it also drain my battery faster

I don't know. All I can do is tell you that iOS 8.1.2 runs well on *my* iPad Mini, and the battery life is the same as or *slightly* better than it was prior to updating.

Why would it?
