ipad air m2 battery draining fast

Is there anybody here having battery issues with their iPad Air m2 (iPad gen 6)? It seems my battery drains so quick. Streaming for 2 hours and battery from 80% to 20% . This is supposed to last 8-10 hours of streaming.


Hope you guys can help

I also recently purchased the iPad Air M2 and I mostly use it only for goodnotes with my pencil pro and the battery drains ridiculously fast! I really hope there’s a fix to it

This is the first time I have ever encountered the battery issue on an iPad. I really hoped that the iPadOS 17.6 would fixed it. Interestingly, not that many people talk about, I have seen only one YouTube video talking about it, however there are many on Reddit and everyone who I asked personally shared similar problems with the iPad Airs M2.

Really? How long have you got yours? I have mine for the last 12 days. I was thinking that iPad was trying to study my habits of charging and use of iPad but I think 12 days is quite long to calibrate. I have turned off all notifications, background refresh and always running at a low screen brightness. I was expecting more with battery usage with this m2 chip.

My iPad Air M2 battery drains very quickly. I've checked the settings and turned off notifications, background refresh, and always-on display. I've also turned down the screen brightness. I've had my iPad for 12 days, and I don't think it's learning my habits yet. I was expecting more with battery usage with this m2 chip. And also Updates will Drain the Battery Capacity. Hopefully Apple releases and update to fix this issue.l

I just had the same problem with a replacement unit, my first unit was perfect with battery performance, but it had a terrible response from the touch screen and was the reason to contact Apple support. They changed it and I'm noticing that the battery performance in this new unit is really bad. I don't know if I should contact support again or wait a few days...
