    Ipad Battery life still poor after battery replacement

    Taking it to apple is not an option for sure... they have already told me replacing the ipad with a new one would cost me 560$ :crying: . I think I will just try to sell it as it is- maybe somebody will be able to fix it on their own.

    Ipad Battery life still poor after battery replacement

Some people have even managed to upto 9h of batterylife from their 9.7 pros while watching videos non-stop. There's gotta be something wrong...

    Ipad Battery life still poor after battery replacement

    Hello everybody, I am facing a really weird and utterly frustrating issue. I use my ipad pro as a notebook in which i take all my uni notes. As it turned out the ipad could only last around 4 hours on-screen time(I would usually just take some notes in notability with my apple pencil). Since I...
