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.

What's up everyone?! I hope this 2021 iPad battery drain test was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or have me test?

Would love to know what you think. Did you expect these results?

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

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 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. 👍🏽

Finally someone did an iPad battery test! It’s also not a clickbaity title, the results are shocking! You officially got me subscribed!

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.

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.

Love my “base model” iPads. Their battery life has always been staggering to me. Great info, and a pretty fair fight. Well done.

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.

[adamushehu]

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 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.

Amazing video! I have the 9th gen iPad and the battery is insane, and the performance es good enough for everything I do.

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.

[velanche]

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 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.

[a.y.]

wow ipad 9 is a solid device! I’m glad I ordered this one for university 😁

[lainecedes]

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

[trevinodude]

I got an iPad 9 in January and Idk why YouTube 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.

[MrSanto]

My iPad air 4 is my first Apple device ever. I bought it brand new, a month ago. I use it for lots of YouTube streaming, Twitter, Facebook, browsing and Netflix. I easily get between 8 - 10hrs screen on time.

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.
