I bought a new iPad 2020 yesterday, brand new, out of the box and today I checked the battery health with iMazing and it's health is "Average" at 88%. I bought a new iPad as the battery on the old one was seriously bad after many years and it kept dying when using it after a few minutes without a cable.
I've checked the battery life of my iPhone 7+ which is a few years old now and it's around 80%.
This is unacceptable. What can I do?
iPad, iPadOS 14
