If you are a happy owner of an iPad, then sooner or later you will surely face the question of how to properly use and charge the battery on your tablet.

Let's try together to figure out how to prolong the work of the heart of your device.

Battery rules

IPad Battery - How to Use and Charge iPad Properly

In order to extend the battery life, a lot of knowledge is not required, you just need to follow a few simple rules:

1. Do not use or store iPad in temperatures below 0 degrees or above +35 degrees. The optimum temperature for operation and storage of the device is from 0 to 30 degrees.
2. Do not leave your iPad uncharged for a long period of time (1-2 weeks), otherwise it may not turn on.
3. Be sure to use your tablet, do not let it sit idle for a long time with a full charge, this way you can save the battery capacity.
4. Discharge and charge iPad completely, at least once a month.
5. Charge your device properly.

These are five basic rules that you should consider when using your tablet.

How to charge iPad

The tablet can be charged using an adapter that connects to a 220 W outlet (usually included with the device) or from a computer via a USB cable.

Charge iPad via adapter. In this case, everything is simple, we connect the iPad to the adapter, then plug it into an outlet, wait for the device to be fully charged. This usually takes about 6 hours.

How to charge iPad from a computer. Everything is just as simple, but there is one "but", you can charge the iPad via USB 2.0 only in standby mode (ie off) since the USB port does not have enough power. Charging using this method can take up to 12 hours, and your computer must be turned on.

How to properly charge your ipad

According to Li-ion battery experts, it is better to charge the battery until it is completely discharged. The remainder of the charge can be as follows 10% and 40% , but try not to allow a smaller discharge. Confirmation of my words can be a message on the iPad at a time when the charge remains less than 20%.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that there is a rumor that overcharging the battery has an extremely negative effect on its condition, but this is not entirely true. All well-known manufacturers have built a special circuit into the battery for a long time, which allows you to protect it from overcharging.

Also earlier, in metal hydride batteries, the effect was observed "Memory" incomplete charging, but this effect is very negligible in current generation batteries.

Battery capacity in iPad

• On iPad 3 contains two batteries connected by a common capacity 24.8 Wh., which is approximately 6.613mAh... The operating time of a tablet with such a battery is approximately 10 hours.
• On iPad 4 this capacity is increased by almost 2 times and thus equals 42 Wh which corresponds to 11.666mAh... Despite the large capacity of the battery, its operating time is about 10 hours, and all due to the fact that the internals of the device consume much more energy.

How to save battery power on iPad and get longer battery life?

Let's take a look at how you can save battery power while using your tablet.

Display. This is the most voracious element that consumes the device's power the most. The brightness setting can be used to reduce this consumption. The brighter the display, the more battery consumption, the dimmer, the less. Thus, your task is to adjust this parameter to suit your eye. To do this, you need to go to "Settings" - "Brightness"... A slider will appear in front of you, moving which, you can change the value of this parameter.

Stay tuned for firmware updates. Try to update the firmware as a new version is released, as the company is constantly working to improve certain functions that may somehow affect battery consumption.

Turn off your 3G adapter. Turn off this adapter when you do not need it at all or there is an alternative to wi-fi. It (3G) consumes too many resources.

Turn off the Wi-Fi adapter. This will save you some of the charge. To turn off Wi-Fi go to "Settings" - "Wi-Fi" and change the position of the switch to "Off" ("Off").

Turn on "Airplane mode". If you are out of range 3G or Wi-Fi Signals, then use the function "Air mode"- this will allow you to maximize your battery savings. Go to "Settings", in the left menu, the very first item in the list will be "Airplane mode", change the switch to "On" ("On").

Disable "Notifications"... Over time, the iPad becomes overgrown with applications, some of them constantly send some kind of notifications to your screen. By disabling them, you can extend the operating time of your iPad. Go to "Settings" - "Notifications" and turn off everything that we do not need.

Disable "Location Services"... Pay attention to those programs that are constantly interested in your location. Disable some of them that do not need this function at all. Go to "Settings" - "Location services".

Disable "Bluetooth". "Settings" - "General" - "Bluetooth" - "Off".

Turn on auto-lock mode. Be sure to enable this mode. Set the values ​​to the smallest interval "2 min." "Settings" - "General" - "Auto-lock" - "Auto-Lock"... Thus, we will force the iPad to turn itself off when we stop using it.

Disable unnecessary sounds. For example, the sounds of the keyboard, turning on and off the device. Go to "Settings" - "General" - "Sounds" - "Sounds" and turn off all unnecessary.

Remove automatic mail checking and delete mailboxes that you don't use. "Settings" - "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" - "Fetch New Data", here we change the position "Push" on the "Off" ("Off") and set the boot parameter "Manual".

If you have any questions, comments or additions, leave them in the comments.

Tricky question. How many hours does your iPad last?

Leader among compact tablets

With a slight delay after the start of global sales of the iPad Air, the second new Apple introduced on October 22 - the iPad mini with Retina display - became available to customers. Perhaps one of the most anticipated devices of this year, iPad mini went on sale in Russia at the same time as the rest of the world, which is a rarity. True, in the official online store the delivery time is 2-3 weeks, but this did not prevent us from quickly getting a new product for the test.

Since all the general information about the iPad mini with Retina display has already been covered in the report from the Apple presentation, we will not repeat ourselves. We only note that this is the first update of the iPad mini, and all the more important is that Apple has not only updated the "internals" of the device, but also equipped it with a screen of a fundamentally higher level.

• Apple A7 SoC @ 1.3 GHz (2 cores, 64-bit Cyclone architecture based on ARMv8)
• GPU PowerVR G6430
• Apple M7 motion coprocessor including accelerometer, gyroscope and compass
• RAM 1 GB
• Flash memory from 16 to 128 GB
• No memory card support
• Operating system iOS 7.0
• Touch display IPS, 7.9 ″, 2048 × 1536 (326 ppi), capacitive, multitouch
• Cameras: front (1.2 Mp, 720p video over FaceTime) and rear (5 Mp, 1080p video)
• Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n (2.4 and 5 GHz; MIMO support)
• Cellular (optional): UMTS / HSPA / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz), LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26

• Li-polymer battery 24.3 Wh
• A-GPS (in version with cellular module)
• Dimensions 200 × 134.7 × 7.5 mm
• Weight 331 g (our measurement)

Let's compare the iPad mini Retina against its main competitor, the 2013 Google Nexus 7, as well as the first generation iPad mini and iPad Air.

* according to the manufacturer's information
** the weight of the version with a cellular module is indicated
*** the weight of the version without a cellular module is indicated
**** for the version with 16 GB of flash memory and without a cellular module

It is clearly seen that iPad mini Retina is identical in almost all characteristics (except for dimensions) to iPad Air. And this is incredibly great, because the first generation iPad mini, released alongside the iPad 4, matched the characteristics of the iPad 2. That is, now the iPad mini lineup has made a leap in two generations!

As for the comparison with the Google Nexus 7, it is difficult to draw unambiguous conclusions from the data in the table. Significantly, however, Google's tablet is slightly lighter and more compact than the iPad mini Retina. But it also has a smaller screen and a plastic body.

Interestingly, despite the appearance of the new iPad mini, the previous model also remains in the company's lineup, and its cost is 12 thousand rubles (which is 4 thousand less than the iPad mini Retina). In our article, we will also try to answer the question of how much the difference between the two iPad mini is adequate to the amount of 4000 rubles and how relevant is the first iPad mini today.

Packaging and equipment

The packaging of iPad mini Retina is almost identical to the packaging of the previous generation tablet.

As for the package bundle, everything is similar to the first iPad mini: leaflets, a charger (5.1 V 2.1 A), a Lightning cable, stickers and a key for removing the SIM card cradle (in the version with a cellular module).

Design

If the update of the large iPad affected, first of all, the design, then the iPad mini's appearance has remained practically unchanged.

The completely metal case (made of anodized aluminum) pleases both in appearance and functionality, and the frames around the screen even today, a year after the release of the first iPad mini, seem to be quite thin.

All buttons are metal, they are pressed with little effort. Their location is similar to the previous model. Top right - Power button, top left - 3.5mm headphone jack. Top center - built-in microphone hole. On the right side there is a screen auto-rotate lock lever and a volume rocker.

On the model with a cellular module, there is a plastic insert at the top that hides the antenna. It, of course, somewhat spoils the general view, but it does not extinguish the signal.

The main difference between the new iPad mini and the old one is the increased weight (more than 20 grams) and thickness (0.3 mm). Visually, they are the same. The photo above shows two iPad mini of different generations. But if the difference in thickness is really not visible, then the changed mass is already perceptible. However, it is quite possible to come to terms with this, and these changes do not have a fundamental effect on user qualities.

Screen

The main feature of the new iPad mini is its Retina display with a resolution of 2048x1536. When testing the first iPad mini, which had a resolution of 1024 × 768, we noted the lack of a Retina display as its main disadvantage. And now Apple has solved the problem. True, today you will not surprise anyone with screens with such a density of dots per inch, so other characteristics come to the fore, as a rule, not indicated in the official technical specifications and revealed only after careful testing.

Alexey Kudryavtsev, editor of the Projectors and TV section, conducted a detailed examination of the new Retina screen.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, there is a very effective antiglare filter, which in terms of reducing the brightness of the reflection is approximately equal to the filter of the Google Nexus 7 2013 screen (hereinafter we compare it with it). For clarity, here are photographs in which a white surface is reflected in the off tablet screens (from left to right: Nexus 7, iPad mini with Retina display and old iPad mini):

Visually, the brightness of the reflection is difficult to assess due to the difference in the color tone and color of the frames, but statistics from the graphics editor show that the screen of the new iPad mini is slightly lighter (average brightness is 95) than that of the Nexus 7 (83), and darker. than the old iPad mini (108).

The reflection in the screen is tripled, which implies the presence of an air gap between the surface of the matrix and the outer glass. From the point of view of image perception, this is a minus, but a screen with a split outer glass (aka a touch panel) is easier and cheaper to repair. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (effective, but still worse than that of the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are much easier to remove, and appear at a slower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.

With manual brightness control, its maximum value was about 410 cd / m², and the minimum was 8 cd / m². The maximum value is quite high, and given the good anti-glare properties of the screen, the image on the screen should be clearly visible in bright daylight. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable level. Automatic brightness control works according to the light sensor (it is located to the left of the front camera peephole). At the same time, the brightness can only increase automatically - with a decrease in the level of external illumination, we did not wait for a corresponding decrease in the screen brightness. However, if you put the tablet into sleep mode and turn it back on, then the brightness will be set in accordance with the external conditions. The minimum and average levels in Auto mode depend on the starting position of the brightness control slider. So, when the slider is set to maximum, automatic adjustment does not work - the brightness remains maximum regardless of external conditions. If the slider is located approximately in the middle of the scale, then in bright light (corresponds to illumination on a clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or slightly more), the maximum brightness is 410 cd / m2, in an office illuminated with artificial light (approximately 400 lux ) - 200 cd / m² (normal), in the dark - 150 cd / m² (a bit too much). If the slider is at the minimum, then under the above conditions the values ​​are as follows: 410, 70, 8 cd / m². Thus, this function works adequately at some middle and slightly below middle positions of brightness control. At the extreme initial positions of the slider, the brightness is either always maximum, or decreases too much in the dark. At any brightness level, there is practically no backlight modulation, so there is no screen flickering either.

This tablet uses an IPS type matrix. The micrographs show the typical IPS subpixel structure:

The screen has good viewing angles without inverting tints and without significant color shift, even with large gaze deviations from the perpendicular to the screen. For comparison, here are some photos showing the same images on the screens of the Nexus 7 (above) and the new iPad mini (below), with the brightness of both screens set to about 200 cd / m². Picture perpendicular to screens:

And a white box under the same conditions:

Now at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors did not "float" in both tablets.

And a white box at an angle:

The brightness at an angle on both tablets decreased the same (about four times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but the color tone did not change much.

The black field, when deviated along the diagonal, is lightened weakly and acquires a red-violet tint or remains almost neutral-gray. The photo from the Nexus 7 for comparison shows this (the brightness is the same for both tablets!):

And along the other diagonal:

It can be seen that the new iPad mini, depending on the diagonal, has a different color tone of the black field, but its brightness is the same or slightly lower than the black brightness of the Nexus 7 at the same angle.

When viewed from a perpendicular view, the black field uniformity is very good, since in fact only along one edge you can see some hints of areas with increased black field brightness:

The black uniformity of the Google Nexus 7 is worse, but it has better black depth in the center of the screen. Indeed, the contrast ratio (approximately in the center of the screen) of the new iPad mini is not the greatest - about 790: 1. The response time for the transition black-white-black is 22 ms (13 ms on + 9 ms off). The transition between gray tones of 25% and 75% (based on the numerical value of the color) and back takes 34 ms in total. The gamma curve plotted at 32 points did not reveal any blockage in highlights or shadows, and the exponent of the approximating power function turned out to be 2.22, which is insignificantly higher than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve deviates little from the power dependence:

The color gamut is noticeably narrower than sRGB:

Apparently, the matrix light filters mix the components together, and the spectra confirm this. This technique allows you to increase the brightness of the screen with the same energy consumption for the backlight. As a result, the colors of images - drawings, photographs and films - oriented to the sRGB space (and the vast majority of them) have a slightly reduced saturation. This cannot be said from the above photographs, as the camera slightly increases the saturation of the colors.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is very good, since the color temperature is close to the standard 6500 K and the deviation from the black body spectrum (delta E) is significantly less than 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, the variation in color temperature and delta E is small, which also has a positive effect on the visual perception of color balance. (The dark areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since there the color balance does not really matter, and the error in measuring color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

The iPad mini Retina screen has a wide range of brightness control, and the anti-glare filter is very effective, which allows you to comfortably use the tablet both on a sunny summer day outside and in complete darkness. There is an automatic brightness adjustment, and it works more or less adequately, but only to increase, which will force the user to either set the brightness manually, or force the brightness to go down, putting the tablet into sleep mode and turning it back on. However, for sure all Apple tablet users are already accustomed to this feature. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, a standard gamma curve, very good color balance and excellent black stability against gaze deviation from perpendicular to the screen surface, as well as excellent black field uniformity. It was strange to find that the color gamut is still less than sRGB, but this tablet must have at least one drawback! ..

In terms of software, the iPad mini Retina has nothing fundamentally new, except for the fact that it is sold with iOS 7 preinstalled, while the previous model comes from the factories with iOS 6. But it can also be upgraded to iOS 7. Note also that users iPad mini Retina is available free of popular Apple apps - Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and GarageBand.

Performance

Like the iPhone 5s and iPad Air, the iPad mini Retina is powered by Apple's new A7 SoC. In the articles on the links provided, we talked in detail about this SoC, so we will not repeat ourselves and go straight to the tests. In them, we were also interested in what is the difference between the two iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 installed on both devices. That is why the test results below may differ from the results that were published in the article about the first iPad mini, since the benchmarks have since been updated and a new version of the OS has been released.

Let's start with browser benchmarks: SunSpider 1.0, Octane Benchmark, and Kraken Benchmark. In all cases, we used the Safari browser from iOS 7 on Apple devices, and Google Chrome on Android.

The results are interesting. The new iPad mini is about four (!!!) times ahead of the first generation iPad mini, but at the same time it lags slightly behind the iPad Air, although it runs on the same SoC. It can be assumed that the SoC in the iPad mini Retina regulates the power saving process a little differently and slightly reduces the CPU frequency for certain tasks. But, we emphasize, this is only an assumption. But the main Android competitors are far behind the iPad mini Retina (although, of course, they overtook the first iPad mini).

In Geekbench 3, a multi-platform benchmark that measures CPU and RAM performance, the situation is repeated.

The layout is the same as in the browser tests. This indicates that the results are indeed correct.

Now let's see the GPU performance. There are two multiplatform benchmarks available here: GFXBench (formerly GLBenchmark 2.7) and 3DMark. Let's start with the GFXBench results.

And again we see the same picture, with the only difference that now the results of both devices on the Apple A7 are exactly identical.

Here again you can see a small loss of iPad mini Retina to its older friend. But more striking is the difference between the two generations of iPad mini. I can't believe that these devices are separated by only one year! However, the gap from Android tablets is also significant.

Thus, iPad mini with Retina display is the most productive modern tablet in the mid-price segment. If you love playing 3D games and want a device that can be upgraded at least twice to the new version of the operating system, you can safely buy the iPad mini Retina. But the iPad mini of the previous generation is no longer relevant today, because for the same money (about 12 thousand rubles) you can buy a much more productive Android tablet with a Full HD screen.

Autonomous work

If we knew the approximate level of performance in advance (since we had already tested solutions on the Apple A7 SoC), then the situation with battery life created a real intrigue. After all, now the device needs to display a picture of twice the higher resolution, but the dimensions of the case have remained the same, so the battery cannot be greatly increased. This caused natural fears that in terms of battery life, the new iPad mini will be inferior to its predecessor.

However, tests showed that these fears were unfounded. The battery life has not only not decreased, but even increased slightly. Here, however, it is worth making a reservation that the first generation iPad mini we tested for this comparison on the latest version of the operating system - iOS 7.0.4. It is possible that on the original iOS 6 with which it is released, the result would have been slightly better. But in the current version, this is a decent battery life - for both iPad mini.

The results are shown in the table.

Interestingly, the sensational reading mode of the 2013 Google Nexus 7 cannot be surpassed by the new iPad mini. Before him, in general, all other devices are like the Moon. But in the other two modes, iPad mini Retina just outperforms both Android competitors.

Also note that under load, the new iPad mini heats up more than its predecessor, which barely felt the heat.

Camera

iPad Air has two cameras - a front one with a resolution of 1.2 megapixels and a rear one with a resolution of 5 megapixels, similar to the cameras of the first iPad mini and iPad Air. Since the iPad mini is much more suitable for shooting than the large iPad, we decided to do a full test using our method of testing smartphone cameras, and at the same time compare the novelty in terms of camera quality with the first generation iPad mini and iPad Air. Filming and comments were made by Anton Soloviev.

iPad mini Retina
Good dynamic range and well-processed noise.
The sharpness is not bad, but the lack of any stabilization is noticeable.
Sharpness is good enough, if you wish, you can make out the number of the nearest car.
Blur is noticeable in the corners of the frame, although the upper center is quite sharp.
The number of the nearest car is clearly distinguishable.
At shorter shutter speeds, the situation improves markedly. Sharpness is uniform across almost the entire frame.
In such scenes, the camera selects the exposure well.
Macro shooting in low light is relatively good for the camera.

We can say that the shooting quality of the iPad mini Retina camera has not changed significantly compared to the iPad mini. Minor improvements only affected noise processing: the noise reduction algorithm has not changed much, but visually its work has become softer, and due to this, small details are better worked out in the pictures. However, the camera is still afraid of noise and tries to work at minimum values ​​of sensitivity, compensating for exposure due to shutter speed, so in low light conditions there is a high probability of blur due to relatively long shutter speeds. As it turns out, relatively long shutter speeds in this case are values ​​from 1/40 of a second and above, since the iPad mini Retina camera lacks any stabilization system. For example, almost all of the above images were taken under the same conditions, each in triplicate, and in almost all cases, two out of three images were blurred.

Lighting

As you can see from the graph, in terms of relative resolution, the iPad mini Retina camera is not far from the iPad mini camera and almost caught up with the iPad Air camera. Nevertheless, after a detailed examination of the pictures of the stand, it becomes clear that the iPad mini Retina is still a significant step forward compared to the iPad mini. It is also worth noting that the camera's angle of view has become slightly smaller, despite the same nominal focal length specified in EXIF. While the camera has barely changed, it now looks refined. There are still some points that I would like to improve, but these are rather purely software limitations.

Among the characteristic features of the camera, one can single out good noise reduction, good and fairly uniform sharpness in plans and across the field, a reasonable choice of exposure.

In general, the quality of the camera images is decent, especially for a tablet, despite the low resolution. There are probably no obvious flaws in the camera, but the lack of a flash significantly limits the scope of its application. Nevertheless, it is quite suitable for artistic or documentary shooting in appropriate lighting.

conclusions

The past iPad mini evoked mixed emotions: the form factor seemed to be interesting (the screen is more than 7 inches, but the case can be gripped with one hand in vertical orientation), but the low resolution of the display spoiled the whole impression. This was especially noticeable if you used a large iPad with a Retina display. After that, working with iPad mini was just physically uncomfortable.

And now Apple released the second version of iPad mini - and here it has not only corrected the situation with the screen resolution, but also radically increased the device's performance. At the same time, the price remained quite attractive, and the battery life and dimensions remained practically unchanged.

Thus, the choice is no longer between "large and modern device" and "compact but outdated". Now you have to choose exclusively between the two screen diagonals and, accordingly, the dimensions of the tablet (not affecting, however, the thickness). If you prefer a more compact format, plan to regularly take your tablet with you on trips, use it in transport, then you can safely take iPad mini Retina. It is slightly more expensive than Android tablets of the same form factor, but significantly better in performance.

In our opinion, the more likely competitors of the iPad mini Retina are not even compact form factor tablets, but tablet phones - Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Samsung Galaxy Note 3, etc. In terms of performance, they are approximately on a par with the iPad mini Retina, in terms of screen quality. are not inferior (and even surpass in pixel density per inch), but they can be used both as a tablet and as a smartphone. True, the cost of top-end tablet phones is significantly higher than that of the iPad mini, but the screen is still smaller. Therefore, the Apple product turns out to have its own specific niche, different from both tablet phones and compact Android tablets.

Overall, we definitely recommend the iPad mini with Retina display if you haven't bought an iPad Air (or intend to do so). But the iPad mini of the first generation seems to us an acceptable option only if the buyer wants to get an Apple tablet as cheaply as possible, and the rest does not matter. If possible, then it is worth, of course, to pay 4,000 rubles and get a fundamentally more modern device. And, by the way, owners of the first generation iPad mini can also safely go to stores for a new iPad mini, if financial capabilities permit. The update will not be superfluous at all.

In conclusion of the article, we bring to your attention our video review of the Apple iPad mini tablet with a Retina display:

It's hard enough to find someone who doesn't like Apple technology. One of the most popular gadgets is the iPad, and today we'll talk about its battery capacity.

When choosing a tablet, battery capacity is one of the main reasons for buying an iPad over other tablets. It works for an unrealistically long time.

How big is the battery on the iPad?

Over the entire existence of tablets, a lot of models have been released and in each of them you can find a different capacity.

Let's get started, consider absolutely all gadgets without exceptions.

Battery capacity iPad, iPad 2,3,4

The earliest iPad models were large enough to fit a large, large battery into them.

Despite the very wide frames, the tablet was in great demand and many who bought it at the time of release are still using it with pleasure.

• iPad: 6600 mAh;
• iPad 2: 6930 mAh;
• iPad 3: 11560 mAh;
• iPad 4: 11560 mAh.

As you can see, the leap in size is sometimes quite large, which means that technology has not stood still. Constantly improving something.

Battery capacity iPad Air, iPad Air 2

These two models have become a kind of leap, because Aypad Air, both 1 and 2, have become much more beautiful thanks to very thin frames and the appearance of new body colors.


The thickness of the device has also significantly decreased, so it has become a little more difficult to install a battery with a larger capacity. But Apple has always found a way out of any situation.

• iPad Air: 8827 mAh;
• iPad Air 2: 7340 mAh.

Do not assume that a significant reduction in volume has affected the run time. Iron has become less energy-consuming, so we see such results.

Battery capacity iPad mini, iPad mini 2,3,4

The series of these small tablets has always found its customers. Very compact and comfortable, which is very useful if you travel a lot.


Always the freshest hardware and updated periodically. Although Apple's main focus is on larger models, Mini models spend seconds on presentation.

• iPad Mini: 4440 mAh;
• iPad Mini 2: 6471 mAh;
• iPad Mini 3: 6471 mAh;
• iPad Mini 4: 5124 mAh.

As you can see, despite the small size, the battery capacity is quite impressive and will last for very long periods of time.

IPad Pro battery capacity

The most recent iPads surprised the most. After all, there was a breakthrough in performance and for the first time there was an iPad Pro tablet with a screen size of 12.9 inches.


But a smaller copy of this device was also presented and it has the usual display size of 9.7 inches.

• iPad Pro (12.9): 10307 mAh;
• iPad Pro (9.7): 7306 mAh.

The newest models still have the same impressive battery life, and during the lifetime of all iPads, no one has succeeded in surpassing them.

conclusions

In principle, this is all the information that I wanted to share about the battery capacity of all iPad models. Now you know what's on your favorite device.

Also, it will probably be very useful to those who are just going to buy a new gadget for themselves. When new models appear, I will definitely add them to the list.

You can determine whether the battery is suitable for your device by the model (indicated on the back or under the battery) or by the part number (p / n) indicated on the battery.
