Hi, I got an iPad air for drawing and the battery has been draining very quickly when the screen is off, almost as if the screen was still on. The only app I have is procreate and I have a apple pencil 2 paired with it. Any help would be appreciated.
iPad Air, iPadOS 14
Same. Rapid battery drain for the new iPadAir 4 - and it was not like this the first few days of unboxing! Seems the battery has dropped dramatically after just 1 week of use..
My 2-week old iPadAir 4 drains just as fast as my 2018 iPad 6 does after 2.5 years of use.
I primarily read kindle books (no music, no video, no pencil running). After a full night of charging my battery went from 100% to 4% in less than 6 hours of on/off use.
Seems low, yes?

So.. update from my end.
Diagnostic found nothing, but now after some discussion it went for free (first they wanted to get money...) to apple tech support and i do get a replacement.
Lets see.
Maybe… There are definitely defective devices, as in my case. Maybe for some others it is a software problem. Honestly, I do not know what happens to these iPads!
Perfect! That’s a good step! Let us know how works your new iPad.
I wish the best!
Exactly! And in Greece it took only a week to be replaced in the authorized service of Apple!
My iPad got replaced. Now it works without problems. After 3 days and some usage 37% left. During night an no activity less than 1% drained. As I would expect.
Perfect! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is the normal battery drain.!!!
yes you are absolutely right,I'll take it for a replacement soon
This is the best… do it asap! I regret that I kept the defective iPad for three months thinking it was a sotware issue.
Let it be about 1% every 3 hours... thats not much. If i use the iPad it depends on the app and the light ;)
That is far from normal battery drain for a new iPad.
How long have you had this 2020 iPad Air and did you purchase extended AppleCare+ for this expensive device?
That’s good. Sometimes devices can be faulty.
I’m so sorry! I can understand you… Is there no Apple phone support in your country to perform a remote diagnostic test?
Strongly Agree! Too bad for apple!!!
Well, drain the battery method works for me :) -Thanks
