iPad Air 5 poor battery life

I have updated my iPad , which I gen 5th one

When I watch streams it on MeetMe app or YouTube the battery drains I don't know why that happens.

why my battery drains when its charging?

please let me know

Same here and I do think it’s because of the new update because the first day I got this iPad i hadn’t charged it for 3 day was using it a fair bit it still had around 20% but now when I do anything on it for a long period of time it just drains so quickly that in 3 hours I go from 68% to now 15% Apple please fix

My iPad Air 5 only lasts 4 hours and I only use it to read books offline. Spent awhile on the phone with Apple and then went to see a genius. Did all the recommended stuff but no change. So very disappointed with this PoS…

Hello,

Exactly same for me and so disappointing. My ipad feels so hot after 30 min of Procreate... I dont need the power of M processors but I absolutely need long battery life (like my previous ipads...) so I am a lost for next purchase.

Update: The Apple store ordered me a replacement iPad. Unfortunately it is not new, refurbished. I hate that I paid full price three months ago and it has been a POS since day one but I didn’t realize it until after the return window. I guess I should look at refurbished products in the future since Apple Care+ fine print gives them the option of replacing new with refurbished. Hopefully this refurbished one has been thoroughly tested and will work correctly. This experience is worse than when I purchased my first macbook with the butterfly keyboard they discontinued three years after I bought mine. I’ve bought many Apple products but I seem to gravitate toward the ones with design or production flaws…

Some folks in this forum said resetting all the settings solved their problem of battery drainage. So, I also did the same(reset all settings) thrice but all my efforts went in vain. No improvement at all.

I was interested in the reset idea and found this article, which states that resetting should make no difference due to the operating system: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/46275/will-a-reset-make-my-old-ipad-faster#:~:text=In%20an%20environment%20such%20as,the%20same%20at%20the%20end.

My iPad Air 5 has had suspect battery life since day 1. I updated mine and my wife's and noticed less battery life than Gen 4. Last night, after a full charge, I decided to unplug it. This morning, I woke up to a fully discharged iPad. Come on Apple. Observe the perfect slope of the battery discharge last night. Something is seriously wrong here.

My mistake. Not enough coffee in me yet today and thought it was on iPhone!

Same , Upgraded from An Air 3 ( which had the blank screen of death ) ..

and now again after spending so mich money . This air 5 has battery issues .

the Quality of apple is falling day by day .

Same problem. New Ipad Air 5, lucky to get 4 hours on the battery, mix of Email, Facebook (Admin in Groups), reading News etc. Have done all Battery saving recommendations. Very frustrating.

iPad Air 5 battery life is horrible, returned it less than a week after purchase. My 5 years old iPad 5th gen will have to old up until Apple do their homework!

Yes, it's really hard to get a good pattern of what you can expect within 14-days; especially when you loose a few days getting it and setting it up

Hi Elly. Can you tell us exactly what setting you applied, please. Might be worth a try.

Agradezco mucho los comentarios de este foro. Pensaba comprar un iPad 5, pero no haré porque la duración de la batería es un factor fundamental. Gracias
