Question for iPad owners

PatZ1989 · 1 Nov 2020 at 21:21

Hello, I have never owned an apple device but really like the look of the new ipad air, a big thing I use my tablet for is watching stuff on twitch but my tablet only lasts a couple hours, I just wanted to ask if there is anyone who has an ipad or ipad air and could comment on its battery life when streaming stuff on twitch?

Thanks all!

About 9-10 hours

Yeah, even my older iPad Air 2 lasts 8+ hours.

8 hours streaming roughly. I'm on 4 hours 30 youtube usage since last full charge at 47% battery. nearly 6 hours screen on time.

It's your tablet only lasting a couple of hours that's 'mental' if anything is.

I've never had reason to complain about the battery life on my iPad Air 2 even with a battery that's now 6 years old.

Streaming. iOS devices are generally very power efficient.

For general non-video use it'll happily last a week without being near a charger, and uses almost zero power in standby.
