Battery Life iPad Pro 12"

Hey,


Can anybody out there help me figure out whether I have a bad battery or whether this battery on my brand new iPad pro 12" is supposed to be ****. The battery drains sooo quickly, and I have set the brightness and all the other options to minimize battery use. It is brand new...anybody else seeing this? Should I take it in to get fixed??

iPad, iPadOS 13

If you suspect battery issues with a brand new iPad, if purchased from Apple, you might be best advised to make use of the 14-day unconditional return period - and have the iPad replaced with another new iPad. Upon expiry of the 14-day window, any replacement will be for a refurbished (not new) device.


Otherwise, you should seek immediate help directly from Apple Support. You’ll find the Contact Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate a support case or contact using the Apple Support App:

Only if you are outside of the 14-day return window would I recommend expending time and effort in attempting to diagnose and resolve a battery-related issue.


I hope this guidance is helpful to you.
