SHOCKED!!! iPad Battery Life DRAIN TEST 2022
Which iPad has the best battery life? Apple gives every single current iPad the same battery life rating - but - are they all really the same, and how does it actually work for real-life use?
So we’ve got all the current iPads here, starting with the iPad Mini 6, the iPad 9, the Air 4, and then the 11 and 12.9” M1 iPad Pro. I’ve got coffee, so I’m ready to spend the rest of the day running this test. The iPads are fully charged, and are running bluetooth and wifi. I also wrote what I think the results are going to be, and we’ll see if I was right at the end of the video.

hi huge fan ! your videos are so helpful(plz reply to this msg)
As a loyal follower of your own “KZhead” because you give fairness among all brands NIOT just only Apple unlike others in this category I am begging you , to do a video on the “CONS” of Apple and what they are currently doing to those of us who have been forever loyal to that Company and now that Loyalty is a driving force behind forcing their own loyal customers to spend money on more Apple products or be forced to keep existing products that are in linger functioning within the Apple Eco-System. This is not the iPhone, Yet as those continue to receive updates that allow other older models to function, I am talking Apples high end products aka the MacBooks iMacs. Again after purchasing an extremely hard save $999.00 dollars to finally get my first Mac being the 2020M MacBook Air in Aug 2020. Apple decides to unveil in a little sneaky keynote way, the new M1 Chip which as you are aware of into the sane system I pourchased earlier in August with the Intel Chip. Apple refuses to do ANYTHING to those of us who have this sane system without the arguably the most ever important feature EVER intro the Mac Computers the development of their own Chip M1, So much so, that as why Apple is popular is that everything integrates seamless through the Apple Eco-System. Well with the M1 Chip and now Apples devaluation especially when it comes to trade ins and my same 2020 MacBook Air withit that chip has caused my current Air major incompatibility with Anything Apple is doing and it’s getting worse daily with Apps noir integrating because of the new chip and with the release of Monterrey which spells it out in black and white that the new operating system is “Especially designed to integrate with the new M1 Chip and future M Chips of Apples very own design. Also, the entry line M1 all in one system without the Mac Mini which yes is cheaper except for the money it costs for keyboards on was put into again my same 2020 MacAir ago the Same Selling Price. Thus, it did open the door to new potential Apple customers at the price of throwing us loyal Apple customers under the bus and because Apples perhaps number selling point is their own Eco-System has now become a prison for those of us who have supported them over the years to force us to pay even more money for a product that they already own to stay within their ecosystem. So, my current MacBook 2020 Air I am being offered today as it already decreased in price earlier this month is $508.00. To do an upgrade too the same 2020 MacBook Air but does have the M1 Chip. I will have to come up with again $999.00 thus paying $1500 to be able to stay updated with current tech in Apples eco system. So Apple is taking more money from their loyal customers to get access and remain while using this scheme to attract new customers into Apple products. This is and has to be the grossest tactic I have ever seen especially from a Company who considers themselves the leader among loyalist, best and greatest products and service which its at a premium price, You would expect to pay more for the product but you know what your getting, This latest move has now thrown their plan out the window but that information will only be available to public knowledge if those KZheadrs and reviewers like tiyrsef who have become a valuable resource to products and giving honest reviews instead of those other channels who say Apple can do no Wrong? Please do an updated video explaining the latest tactic and what Apple has done using their own ecosystem to entrap already existing loyal Apple customers in a way that can only be described as Extortion. I might as well, throw my 2020 MacAir in the trash! I feel I have been robbed and I have, Now, had I purchased this syste say a 2018 MacBook Air it would be to a degree understandable its time to upgrade but this isn’t the case with me and others, Apple through us in the trash. Again, please keep your reputation and viewership fair like you have done in the past and do a video explaining this, your thoughts, and what you would do if caught in the situation above with a limited budget? If you could graciously do this I wont buy you a cup of coffee I will but you a pot of it and I can assure you it will taste a lot better then the coffee that Apple will give you. PS. You might want to also include the pages of recalls Apple is doing right now on its products. Steve Jobs wouldn’t allow this to happen. Thank you, Ed
I hope all people afford that product 😭😭
I hope all people can afford that product 😭😭😭
iPad Pro 12.9 uses mini led with a lot of zones, so it should last longer if you turn on dark mode?
I’ve literally just purchased the iPad 9 and I’ve noticed as well the battery life is insane and I’m so glad I didn’t go for the more “fancy” ones
This isn't related but I love that you made the imola gp podium celebration as your profile ❤
the other ones arent fancy. Normal ipad just feels very cheapskate
I just purchased iPad Air
@@erdniealinik Hehe that’s sort of true now with the a13 ipad 9. That thing is powerful as heck. But the 12.9” Pro does feel sort of fancy with the crazy screen, 5 almost pro quality mics, 4 speakers, etc. It’s crazy nice
Yeah, iPad 9 is just the poverty version of the others lol.
I’m surprised at how long the iPad mini lasted since it has the smallest battery. I was expecting 4-5 hours from it. I wasn’t expecting it to last longer than the iPad Pro 12.9” considering it has the biggest battery
I thought the exact same thing!!
A15 must be really efficient!
For how long the mini 6 lasted, it is honestly the best all around value since you are getting the iPhone 13/A15 chipset, 4 speakers and USB-C.
@@DarkPa1adin the A15 in the mini has the 6 core gpu but the CPU cores and GPU cores are both underclocked
it has a smaller screen to power, so it kind of balances out
Coming from an Air 4 to a Pro 11 (2021) I agree 100% with the results. I was very underwhelmed with the battery on my Air4. One of the reasons I upgraded to the Pro. Very happy now. I throw a ton at my Pro and it keeps chugging along.
I’m so glad I didn’t go for the Air then!
@@Blackwhite2277 as a person with a air I’m currently struggling with the home buttons and other buttons-
I think the iPad Air might have some quality control issues. My sister and I both had iPad Air 4s but hers was experiencing battery issues compared to mine, despite settings saying battery health was 100%. After kind but extensive conversation with apple support, we got it replaced. She’s much happier with it now. Still don’t know how it compares with other iPads since I only use the Air, but those of you in here with battery issues (especially if it seems unreasonably bad) maybe contact support.
I actually thought the air 4 would last more than the mini 6 and ipad 9,seeing it go a 5h 17m is actually surprising.
Good test mate ! If i remember correctly , the air 4 only has a 5000 Mah battery , about the size of a good smart phone battery , ( please correct me if i`m wrong ) , and given that it has a 10 ish inch screen , i think that is actually not too bad , my air 4 is about a year old and i use the hell out of it every day , although probably dont work it quite so hard , and i dont game on it , and my battery time would be similar or maybe a tad better i think , also i have mine sitting 98% of the time in the magic illuminated keyboard case with the 2nd gen pencil keeping charging on top. I`m actually pretty happy with mine , 5+ hours is decent imo , and as i said i usually do a bit better with my use , and it does seem to charge up at a reasonable speed . I am a bit surprised the big banger 12.9 inch did not go for a tad longer , maybe apple could in the next generation tablets sacrifice some of that slimness and bump the battery size up a tad , i certainly would not mind a tad more weight and being a tad chubbier to have more battery time ..
@@mikldude9376 I completely agree I would definitely agree to sacrifice thickness for a bit more battery!
you have to remember the mini also has the newest soc which might help it out. the ipad 9 is pretty interesting but it's nice to see that they haven't crammed a tiny battery in there to save costs
Ya
@@mikldude9376 iPad Air 2020 have ~7600mAh battery - 28,9 Wh. iPad 8 and 9 are ~8600mAh - 32.4Wh
Love my “base model” iPads. Their battery life has always been staggering to me. Great info, and a pretty fair fight. Well done.
I just got an iPad 9 a month ago and I'm surprised it did was well as it did. Thanks for the effort you put in to do this video. 👍🏽
Congrats on the iPad! I appreciate the kind words about the video - I was SO tired!
I have an iPad 8 and the battery is soo good. I can use it everyday without charging it
iPad gen 6 here and battery is still amazing after 3 years!
Base iPads are always battery kings.
It’s expected. The display takes up most of the battery life. And the iPad has the lowest quality display.
Thanks for running this test; looks like lots of work! I tend to push my iPads historically to run maybe a half the advertised battery life, so glad to see that the 11”, the one I have, ended up doing pretty well. I was not surprised about the 12.9” model draining quicker than the 11”, because it really is going through a lot when used to the max. I had that model for about 2 weeks, so again not too surprised by good to see it being compared. Again, thanks!
I'm actually sort of mad that the Air 4 came in last, I've been side-eyeing mine ever since I saw the result.
😂
I love iPad Air 4 given that I’m an user of it. I just don’t like the Touch ID placement.
Me too😭😭
Just remember it has more performance therefore less battery. My iPad Air 4 lasts a while I use dark Mode which probably doesn’t do anything and very low brightness
Great video! I appreciate all the work and editing you put into this test. I’m looking forward to getting my 11” Pro.
wow ipad 9 is a solid device! I’m glad I ordered this one for university 😁
The IPad 9 is a great device for a great price. I can’t believe the value for the price point.
@@unholyalmond Yeah value of basic ipad is great, iPad 8th gen starts my Apple ecosystem journey at begining of this year.. I switched to Macbook, iPhone and AW thanks to that basic iPad. Now I have iPadAir 4 and basic iPad does its duty for my wife.
@@jirikocman I have the iPad 9 as my work computer. Fits the bill perfectly for my needs.
@@unholyalmond Good for you :) There is nothing on Android side with similar quality and perfromandce and same or even better price tag. I decided iPad over any Android device just becouse it was cheapest option to get video output by HDMI cable (with dongle)
@@jirikocman the only thing i wish i had gone with the Samsung tab for RetroArch. When i travel my iPad is all i have with me, and being able to have RetroArch I would not need a laptop at all.
Finally someone did an iPad battery test! It’s also not a clickbaity title, the results are shocking! You officially got me subscribed!
So glad it was helpful. I was literally sitting there like "ummmm, I did not see this coming". Thanks for being part of the channel!
I have the iPad 9 and I'm always impressed at how long the battery lasts. I played all day on Apple Arcade and averaged 13% per hour of battery life used. The first time, I was seriously mind-boggled at how amazing that was.
How about the battery in stand by? Does ir drain faster?
huge respect for you, sir! this is such a great and helpful video 🌟
I bought the Air 4 for student reasons and noticed it drains pretty quick using GoodNotes with full brightness. It does last a full school day of 8 hours on max brightness but I need to charge it after it. I was worried the one I got has a defect but I'm glad to see it's normal with the Air 4.
Same issues with 3rd party notes app, even it gets a bit hot at the soc area.
I just got mine today and I’m pretty bummed out from the battery ngl. I know it’s 2 years old now but like it is super low after about 5 hours.
I bought the Air 4 since I won’t abuse the battery. I just bought it for better experience and to flex on my friends. I typically use it as a music player. I also don’t have any games on my boy.
I bought for light video editing and was impressed with its battery life. Either I’m stupid, or the tab s6 lite was just not as good.
Got a pro 11 recently and the battery life is something I love about it
Just remember the iPad air’s battery would have degraded after a year of use and I’m pretty sure he dint buy a new one for this video plus the iPad 9 and mini are significantly new
The battery well, is air too
Right! I completely forgot about that but still don’t think that one year would make much of a difference.
I agree, approx how many load / unload cycles went the Air4 through? Don’t think it is a fair comparison with its new collegues from the Apple stable to be honest.
I'm pretty sure he only uses these iPads for these videos and not personal use, so I don't think the battery would have drained enough for it to make a real difference. He could have shown battery health though.
If the Air4 battery has degraded that much so quickly that would be a big reason not to buy one. Only Sagi can't speak to how much he has used the Air4, but with his plethora of tech gear I doubt his mid range tablet would be the one with heavy usage.
Considering that the standard ipad is the same size as the air and 11 inch pro, but with a smaller display and weaker components, it makes sense that it lasts the longest
Newer chips are faster and more efficient, your logic does not go that way. For what you say and iPhone 11 should las longer than a 13 Pro… btw it’s not.
Thank you for the battery drain test. You provided exactly what I wanted to help decide on my next iPad.
After watching your video I'm so happy I just ordered the iPad 9. Battery life is important to me, but I didn't know it was so good. Thanks.
I have an iPad mini 6, and was pleasantly surprised to see it do so well. I’ve had it for about a month, and haven’t ever let the battery die.
CONGRATS!!! I love that iPad!
I’ll be honest. I’m very much surprised by the 12.9 pro model. I’m wondering if the extra feature like the Liquid Retina display may have contributed to it going so quickly. My thing is they should’ve considered a bigger battery since it’s the biggest iPad. I don’t regret purchasing it because I’m never going to us it for all that heavy testing but it’s really interesting how the 11” pro model outlasted.
Finally, you do not know how long I’ve waited for you to do this and you do it really well😁
Thanks for your reviews. I finally bought ipad 9 for very light work and media consumption. So far it is great.
Hey Mr. Geller, thanks so much for taking a break from paleontology to make this review for us. Really useful and I don’t see other reviewers addressing this.

Lol I've been waiting for a comment like this one 🤣🤣 he's literally his twin
@BenBensonFirst a Ross Geller, then a Ted Mosby, what are the chances 😂😂
@BenBenson I could point out that you didn't put the word 'literally' in quotes but that's just fucking stupid, it may be superfluous in Maggie's comment but I don't see any need to correct it unless you're an obsessive perfectionist which you aren't and even if you are, that's your problem.
I thought the Air would last more. I own one and it has an amazing battery.
I got the iPad 9 on sale as a pre-order from Walmart for college and omg I always start my day at 8am and study from 10am to 11pm (including classes) I only put this on charge once. Standby is even more amazing I love it. I use my iPad for school only! I use it for digital notes and making PowerPoints or quizlet and this iPad is an absolute beast!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I have both the mini 6 and the M1 12.9, and i thought i was crazy because i always felt like the iPad mini 6 was longer lasting than my pro.. now I know i wasn’t crazy! I’m a bit disappointed by the pro, or amazed by the mini, depends on how you wanna see it!
I’ve had the iPad 9 for a while and not surprised this tablet performs surprisingly well with battery! I use it for uni almost every day and have to charge it once per 2 and a half days even with heavy usage
hello, do u use it while charging? and when do you charge?
@@michashielamariepablo5615 I do that very rarely since the charger port and iPad itself gets very hot, and I always charge when it’s around 20 percent
do you get it at 100%?
@@michashielamariepablo5615 Yep!
Thank you so much for responding!☺️
I have the iPad 9 and without all the brightness and stress tests. From 100% it takes me 4 yes 4 DAYS to get down to 20% This iPad is actually insane
When i see the worst battery is air 4 my heart breaks cuz im gonna buy it 🫠
Yes, been wanting to see your battery test experiment. Nothing wrong with the other videos but at least we can see if iPadOS makes any difference. (Other 6 month old battery test videos vs todays battery test video)
Amazing video! I have the 9th gen iPad and the battery is insane, and the performance es good enough for everything I do.
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, the iPad 9 was really impressive!
Buying the ipad 10.2 this weekend for drone flying hopefully good enough.
I got an iPad 9 in January and Idk why KZhead barely recommended this to me now but wow, I’m very impressed with how the 9’s battery stacked up in this test. From personal experience, my iPad 9 takes a long time before it gets anywhere near 10%, so I knew it was a good battery… I just didn’t know HOW good it really was. Wow.
So glad you watched and I appreciate the input from an actual user. Thank you for being part of the channel!
The iPad 9 battery is really surprising, my iPad can last a couple days, even at times a week of normal use, (an hour-3 hours a day) and I am really glad I chose this one. Thank you for the video!
I'm intending to buy an iPad Air in the beginning of 2022, so these videos are coming in very handy. I suppose that, when taking into account the lack of features of the entry iPad, buying an Air compensates the more than €200 that I'll have to pay surplus here in Spain. I'll comment more after watching your buying guide, which I'm convinced will be super useful too
such an insightful video, and yes the battery on my iPad Air 4 is 'slightly' disappointing but the results are so so different than what I had predicted as well!
the brightness on the air was higher than all the others….
i’m using ipad air 4 and it lasts me 8 hours of screen on time with ony 50% battery used. depends on how you use the ipad really.
My iPad air 4 is my first Apple device ever. I bought it brand new, a month ago. I use it for lots of KZhead streaming, Twitter, Facebook, browsing and Netflix. I easily get between 8 - 10hrs screen on time.
The air 4 is an amazing iPad - probably the best combination of features and price. CONGRATS!
Does you feel the back of iPad get really warm when using Netflix or Facebook?
@@sumdood7011 Not at all. It's cool all the time. Oh I don't play any games.
Great content and great production as always, thanks for this
I got my Mini 6 just before Christmas and I think it’s an awesome little device. It’s the first iPad I’ve purchased with my own money.
i have the 12.9’ ipad pro and i’m honestly not surprised with how low it placed in this power test. i’ve never been a huge stickler about battery life though so i honestly think the display and performance are worth the trade off
the battery lasts all day just fine with light use for schoolwork and content browsing, where it starts to drain quicker is when i’m at home using it for hours with more demanding applications
considering that the ipad 9 has the cheapest hardware, lower power consumption, I had kind of expected for the ipad to have the best battery life. But still shocking considering the price.
choose iPad 9 256 GB, it's a bit cheaper than mini 6 with only 64gb
Same here, but Apple could‘ve also cheaped out on the battery, which they *surprisingly* did not apparently.
It is not surprising, but the A13 chip is a little bit dated.
i think if u really wanna be practical and u don't have a bigger budget, ipad 9 would be the best choice. I've been watching lots of ipad 9 vlogs while waiting for mine to arrive and im just so freaking excited!! (only gonna use it for school like reading & taking notes, do some art and surf the internet including streaming)
@@raven5773 I have it for almost 2 months now and I can tell ya It's absolutely worth it.
I’m so glad to find out that my iPad I had just got has the best battery life. Literally everything about the iPad 9 so far is better then everything else (basic use wise) Im satisfied
The battery of my 11’ iPad Pro keeps impressing me all the time I was watching KZhead all day and got about 10 hours of watchtime until I reached the 20% mark and charged it
I just updated from a 5th gen iPad to an 11 Pro. The three days of use had me questioning the decision as the battery seems to drain somewhat more quickly on the 11 Pro compared to the 5th gen. You proved my hunch right with this test, thank you for confirming my observations.
commenting from a 5th gen ipad, how good is the ipad pro 11? I might upgrade to it because of bigger space, performance, and 120hz screen
@@rjc.05 just go for it
5th Gen Budget iPad To iPad Pro???? Biggest Glowup Fr.
Feeling extremely validated in my choice to get the iPad 9 now 🤣
I am getting my iPad 9 tomorrow and cannot wait, I’ve also just ordered a case and screen protectors for it and recently just received my Cisirun stylus pen got a lot of drawing apps to use.
Super happy about my M1 iPad 11". I knew I made the right choice :) Thanks!
Love this video! I always enjoy watching the battery life tests. I recently purchased the iPad 9 over the Air 4, and am glad I did. Bought the Mini 5 last year, which was why I didn't go for the Mini 6. I always have a sweet spot for the Minis too (my first iPad was a Mini 2, and I still own it). :) Glad I bought the iPad 9 this time around, Thanks for the video, and the very enlightening (and entertaining) information!
iPad mini 6 beats all of the Gaming phones..... I decided to get a new gaming phone... But now I'm having iPad mini 6 and really impressed cuz of its battery life with A15 Bionic.
yay!! First, I was wondering what the hell is wrong with the battery on my iPad Air 4, and now, I see this!! GREAT!
Wow I’m shocked with the results, but I’m impressed you had the idea to do this
Watching this on my mini 6. I love that the iPad came out of the box with 97 percent. I’ve charged this thing twice since I’ve had it and I haven’t charged in like two weeks.
I love mine too, it’s so portable, I’m using it more than my last 10.5 Pro model
Watching on my iPad 9th gen… It’s nothing less than a dream came true for me.❤️ To be honest , your analysis helped me in choosing the right one.
Us iPad 9 users got blessed
Bro can you please help me in choosing the i pencil alternative, tempered glass and cover? Amazon sending seal open iPad?
This thing is impressive indeed, it runs genshin on medium graphics 60 frames without lagging a single time
Superbly professional video. Thanks so much! 👍👍👏👏
I have an iPad 9, and I’m actually using it rn, and I am very impressed with its performance.
Great test. A key question would be iPad charging times. Do the USB C iPads charge significantly faster than the Lightning port iPad 9? Really disappointed with the iPad Air 4 battery performance.
Yup. The USB-C is definitely faster. Sorry for the short answer, I don’t know the details.
I use my iPad Air for daily tasks, watching KZhead and gaming. It lasts me all day long. I took the iPad Air around 9am today. It’s 8pm and on 52% battery. I have no complains.
What is your brightness level all day long? Please tell. Thanks
@@kartikgupta7310 I usually keep between 20% or 25%. If I'm in a brighter enviroment, around 40%? but it's usually between 20 and 30.
@@prilailiu @Bunnyboo3419 Do you think is a good idea to get it now in 2022? How much the battery longs actually? I'm thinking about buying it but I'm not sure if is still a good idea, more thinking that I'll probably use it for 4 years, if it's possible more before updating to another ipad. Someone is selling it about less that 478 dlls (In perfect conditions), and here where I live ipad 9, is around 390dlls, bot devices of 64gb which is not a problem to me. Would the difference worth it? (I'd use it for reading pdfs, taking a lot of notes, multitasking, office apss... No games, no heavy apps)
@@cristiancaballero5853 I personally think it's a great deal. I'm a casual user, not a tech person and it serves me well for all of my necessities. My sister just got the newest ipad air and tbh, there isn't much of a difference between her's a mine (for casual users at least). We both use mainly for study and it's honestly a great device.
I have the ipad 9.Its battery life is really insane.very much satisfied using ipad 9.
I was literally just thinking about this the other day, great video!!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
This video really helpful.. wow can’t believe iPad 9 is the longest.. my eyes still on iPad mini tho.. good job on doing this test for us..
I’m so glad this was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Can you recommend any good power bank for iPad Pro 12.9 and iPhone at the same time ? ☺️ Great video as always!
Thank you! I could not decide between iPad Air 4 and Samsung Tab S7, but now I know which one I will buy. :)
Now this was a great comparison of all the popular ipads. Thanks for all the effort.
Hope it was helpful! Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Currently watching on my ipad 9. Glad I purchased this one for taking notes, saved me a lot of money. It literally lasts for a long time, no need to charge within a day. I even play genshin impact on my ipad with no problem. Also, I love the center stage feature too.
hi, so, i was thinking about buying ipad 9 for studies and genshin, i saw that it only has 3gb of ram, does it crash during the game?
@@isa-jr3pu ive seen a couple of reviews mentioning that the iPad 9th gen handles Genshin pretty well

I have a mini 6 now and i can’t fault it in anyway for what i need in an ipad the battery life is excellent no complaints
Same I love it sm
Would love to see the battery drain on MacBook pro 14 inch on light use (watching videos, surfing, writing text) no editing programs or heavy work. Thank you for the great work
This channel is very completed about world of ipad, love it 🥺🔥🙏🏻
Thank you for being part of the channel!
Amazing content, love the iPad 9th Gen ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for being part of the channel!
What screen brightness level did you set for the test? Did you do all of the streaming through Safari or through dedicated applications? I am 99% certain that Apple rates battery life using only first party applications with all multimedia being run through safari and not individual applications. When streaming video through Hulu and KZhead I am experiencing the same results that you are for battery life with the big iPad Pro which I still has a nearly perfect battery in it.
Thank you so much. You enlightened me. Now I’m watching this again on my iPad Pro 11 m1. 😆 Now I can play 6h++ non-stop with no overheating. Mostly play RPG and it's so smoooothh....
Brand new 12.9 here. Not even mad. Good job little 9!
Awesome vid. I have an Air 4 and enjoy it but have been feeling the itch to upgrade to a 12.9 Pro sometime. I'll be patient and wait for the next generation whenever that is. Really hoping the Magic Keyboard gets a redesign sometime - I struggle justify that accessory without having a function row.
I have the 2018 (6th gen) iPad and been using it for four years already. Ever since I first got it I was blown away by its battery efficiency! Sure, after four years the battery is draining a bit faster, but it’s still amazing. I am considering jumping to an 11’ iPad Pro in about two years but I don’t know if it’ll be worth it considering the amazing battery life of the regular iPad.
my ipad 6th gen had such good battery life of around 5-6 hours at the beginning and now have like 4 hours max. if you got the 11 inch is it worth it?
Mine still goes strong on battery after 3 years, I am glad I watched this because now I am not convinced about upgrading to an air, unless there’s a newer generation with a better battery. The 6 gen is a great ipad if you don’t need extremely professional tools and you are not bothered by a few cosmetic issues. It’s got a nice portable size and is a great classroom tool.
@@Therejectionartist Yeah it is! It is lagging a bit after 4 years for me and I'm actually considering buying the 12.9' iPad for the screen (for drawing, plus it supports many more layers and resolution in programs like procreate etc) sometime in the coming spring. I'm still going to keep my 6th gen iPad for entertainment though!
@@stargazer6850 there's actually a 5 generation air 64gb, so maybe that is better for battery life, on the other hand the ipad pro 11 128gb is not much more expensive than an air, so maybe that's the better upgrade from 6 generation.
Nice, honest tests, real life tests, a good variety of tests, thanks Thinking of buying iPad Mini 6
I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago as I was thinking I might want to finally get a new iPad to replace my almost unusable original 2012 iPad mini. Having binged so many of your videos in a short amount of time was SUPER helpful as my family just let it out of the bag that they are secretly going to buy me one for Christmas! And THANKS to your well crafted, detailed and entertaining videos, I was able to quickly tell them which one to get me (the mini 6.) I even went to the store and played with all of them to be sure since I was thinking the Pro 11” would be my choice. (And btw, your knowledge far exceeds what the rep told me at the store.) I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of your channel. Thank you so very much! I’ve definitely subscribed to enjoy your future content. Keep up the good work! :)
It's just what i observed for the past 4 months using my iPad Air 4 and the iPad 9 my school gave me side by side (the Air to project GoodNotes to the beamer, the iPad 9 to take notes on my students). The iPad 9 always ended at about 50-60% at the end of the day, while my iPad Air 4 ended at about 20-30%, while being on for the same time. Sure AirPlay or using a HDMI-Adapter will drain the battery faster, but i always wondered if it would make that much of a difference.
I appreciate you sharing! Thank you for being part of the channel!
I am not surprised to know ipad 9 has the best battery life coz I have an ipad 8 and it gives me about 7 hrs of zoom and still leaves about 20 % 🔋🔥
thxxx for all your work for this video.
Perfect video quality and review!!!!
Great video comparison. I was surprised the Air4 battery ran out first. I also believe the 12.9 Pro with the larger body probably should have a larger battery given its price. Never would have guessed the IPad9 would win this comparison. Impressive. For my use I will now consider buying the IPad 9. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy and appreciate your channel.
I’m so glad this video was helpful. It’s by no means a scientific comparison - but I wanted to give people a useful overview. Thank you for being part of the channel! 🙏🏻
I’ve noticed quite a difference between my 11” and 12.9” battery life. The 12.9” drains quite a bit faster.
i was choosing between these 2 previously. the pro m1 model. and got the 12.9. it lasts me 1 day and i’m a bit disappointed. but i guess 1hr isn’t really that much a difference to the 11. how does your battery fair in a day?
I have an Ipad 9 and I have noticed the great battery life on it as well, it is by far the best iPad
I've just switch from an iPad 9 to an iPad Air 4 because of the display. And I immediately notice the battery life. I thought my Air 4 got a battery-drain problem because I compared it with the Gen9. Now I understand it's natural for an Air 4. Like in your video, At the time the Air 4 got to 15% (time for recharge), the iPad 9 is still at 40%. OMG that's massive difference. anw thanks for your vid, it's made my day. I dont have to worry about the Air4 battery problem anymore.
I totally did not expect the mini 6 to beat the 12.9 since mine seems to drain quicker. Oh well I could be wrong but I love my mini nonetheless! 😆
Love this vid! So great to see the actual battery availability with real world use. A+ video content here.
So glad it was helpful Ron. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Amazing comparing those machines👍 I want to see more of this with all companies in same field made by you in later videos. Thanks and goodbye
Watching on my iPad 9 rn and I’m very proud of it
Your iPad is old and battery is drained of your old ipads, so the performance of the newer iPad 9 is evidently more if the air battery is already drained. 😊
I have the MINI, THE 9, THE 4, THE AIR,AND THE 12.9 and I would agree with your results with the exception of the MINI. On a really good day I might get 6 hours, most days it is closer to 5. I upgraded from a previous generation of MINI where I was getting over 8 hours on a regular basis and am disappointed with the battery life. As I primarily use the MINI in my job and am constantly in different locations, I keep a charger cable in my car so I can get through the day. My uses are as follows, the AIR mostly for zoom type meetings, the 12.9 as a laptop replacement (have only used an actual laptop a couple of times in the past 2 years), as mentioned the MINI is my out and about work horse. I got the 9 just because I was curious about how good a lower price product would be. I am amazed at how well it is, to the point where if my AIR stops working, I would replace it with the 9. Just my experience with the products.
Fun fact: the iPad 9 is actually the same model as the smaller iPad Pro from 2017. I bought my current iPad in 2018 and it’s great for reading sheet music, which is why I bought it. I guess I won’t be needing to upgrade my iPad for a little while. Plus, my mom’s looking for a tablet in general, so perhaps the iPad 9 is a great contender.
Thank you for mentioning price, i was wandering about it, it adds a nice perspective layer.
I just bought the ipad air 4 and my sot is usually around 10 to 11 hours. And I don't continually use it. I play games but only 2 to 3 hours a day and then heavy media consumption next. This is still a great ipad 😊.
Yes
It really depends on coditions and exact usage. With light use and low brightnes I can easily go for 10hrs. I was watching TV stream for 6hrs and it ends with 75% battery usage. So ~8hrs at ~25% brightness and that streaming app from my cable operator seems little bit more hungry than HBO or Apple TV.
have you observed any battery draining issues after updating to iPadOS 15.1?
Budget iPad is always a killer in the battery drain tests. One of the reasons I bought it over the mini 6🌚
Same as for the iphone xr and 11
@@rkustanto uh no, 12 series is better and 13 series is WAY better
@@revandewaputra4239 14 pro max is only an hour longer than the 13 pro max
@@westernsavage2313 it's actually the same battery life, ans the 13 used to last longer on release, but on ios16 it dropped its battery life and making it the same as 14
So glad i ordered 2 ipad 9 2021 for my kids. They are going to love it.
I am currently using iPad Pro 11 with M1 chip and I am glad to say that battery performs very well on surfing YT and web but when it comes to gaming performance I experienced that the battery drains more faster and now I am can play BGMI with 90fps for 3-4 hrs only Don’t know weather it’s good or software is not much optimised for efficient battery 🔋
I made a mistake I think. I went after the air 4, but since Apple confirmed the air 5' release, I think I should have waited until march. And the only reason why the ipad 9 went 7H33M is because all the internals are garbage compared to the air 4 for example. So by buying the older air 4, you are sacrificing battery life for usage quality and experience which in my opinion is a win. But since the air 5 is coming out this year, I kind of regret my decision even though the air 4 is amazing by itself.
Same thing I noticed my battery on iPad Air 4 drains too fast in PUBG but battery lasts way long while watching videos and surfing internet
Absolutely right. PUBG is much more demanding than watching content.
Same here my ipad air 4 drains too fast!,,
Thank you so much for sharing this test!... I was really in doubt about which pro model to get, but you've just convinced me to get the 11"... Awesome job, sir!
