iPad pro battery life, how long?

Hi

I don,t have the ipad pro but i also found turning off

Apps background refresh on all apple devices

Gives you 3/4 hours more battery life .

Cheers

It use to be recommended that you calibrate the battery usage meter once a month. I don't know if this was Apples's advice or not since I no longer see it recommended.

The process was to go to a standard Apple app like Notes or Calendar. Then hold the power button until the slider switch appears. Then release the power switch and hold the home button until your iPad restarts.

Big mistake. My directions above were for calibrating the Home button. To calibrate the battery meter it was suggested once a month you charge your iPad to 100% then let it go down to 10%. I'm not sure if this is still necessary.

The Jive software nanny filter will not let you type s*u*c*k*s as it is considered a naughty word in genteel circles.

IT is not really necessary to calibrate the batteries. I have never calibrated the battery in my iPad Air 2 and I get 11 hours and sometimes more out of a full charge.

I am averaging around 8.5 to 9 hours. Sometimes closer to 9.5, but no more on the iPad Pro.

Apple has stated 10 hours of battery life when surfing the web over WIfi, or watching videos or listening to music (without WiFi or Bluetooth ).

Let us know your battery situation when you begin to use your new Christmas gift. I have one of the problem ones - with most things turned off it still goes down while asleep, whereas my other iPads seem to stay at 100% forever. I'll wait another ten days or so and, if I don't hear of a fix from Apple, I'll be returning it. I hope yours is okay as it is a really nice device.

Try a reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

Good Luck!

Thanks, but I've read your suggestion before, but as others have reported, it has no effect. I've also researched this on other website forums where people are reporting similar problems without solutions. So, I have scheduled an appointment with Apple to bring it in and they will probably just replace it. Just for info, I lost 1% during the last 30 minutes while the unit was asleep. Since some people don't have the problem, it may not be an iOS issue; perhaps there will be a recall a some point, but I don't want to wait for it.

Did you try my suggestion yourself?

Like you stated, some users tried this to no effect or improvement and some have not had the issue.

Just because this suggestion didn't work for others doesn't mean, neccessarily, that my suggestion won't work for your iPad Pro.

Yes, I tried everything, such as ,reseting, turning off WiFi, BT, mail pushing, etc. I have had about seven iPads and none acted like this. I thought about just returning it, but I actually like the size and need it for online teaching, showing videos, etc. I am wondering if Apple gets its batteries (or some other relevant hardware part) from different sources and one source is good and another not. That's happened before.One person above mentioned that Apple is aware of the issue - of course, I have no idea if that is true. I will learn Sunday when I go to the Apple Store. It's a new product and these kinds of hiccups are to be expected; I just want to get mine sorted out before next semester begins, when I resume being a professor/student. I don't mind being a guinea pig as I know Apple will eventually make it right.

Thanks for trying to help me and the others and have a good Christmas. If I learn of anything further about this, I'll post it here.
