I just purchased iPad Pro 12.9 2022 model and the battery life is absolutely rubbish. My partner’s 8 years old iPad lasts way longer than my one. I have everything switched off, no notifications, no background app refresh, no Bluetooth. My iPad definitely is not lasting the advertised 10 hours max 4 and I’m using it very light, no games a bit of safari, YouTube and Netflix. Is this common for everyone. Is this a recent change related to os update or it is related to m2 or screen. Can anyone who own the same iPad longer advise? I’m wonder of yours experience.

LOL. Well done!
My iPad literally drains in 2 hrs. What a mess.
Exactly the same with me. I have reset multiple times, cleaned out apps and photos and battery still quickly drains out .
I don’t see the Clean Energy Charging on my iPad.
I have a 5th generation IPad and same issue. It also stops charging ... until I turn it off and on.
iPad battery drains fast and slow charging. While in use it will take me back to the home page or close out completely. May be 2 different problems.
Yeah. Problem 1: We trusted Apple to not mess this up. Problem 2: Apple hasn’t fixed it. 🤦♂️
There is on iPhone 13 Pro Max running 16.5.1 (c). Go to:
Settings
Battery
Battery Health & Charging
Clean Energy Charging (last option)
Unfortunately the owners of the iPad Pro model don’t see this option.
98% - 60% after just 90 minutes of run time this morning.
Apple need to get their act together..!
I have 16.5.1 and experiencing the same thing. Especially on ipad pro. I found that option on my iPhone xr but not on ipad pro.
My iPad does not have this option.
Thanks. My iPad also says it’s up to date, but then down below it asks if I want to upgrade to 17. Go figure.
On 16.6.1 on iPad Pro and battery drain is 42% in 2 hours. Also takes a very long time to recharge. Definitely an iOS related problem. Never had this before 16.3.
My iPhone XR is on 16.7 and has not had these problems.
