I have a new iPad Air 4 with a Magic Keyboard and an Apple Pencil.
It's great - but the battery drains very fast on standby.
Normally, it drains about 5-10% a day without even being used.
With the Apple Pencil attached it drains even more quickly - up to 20% a day without being used at all.
This is obviously unacceptable. How do I fix this short of just returning the device?
