It’s been a long time since iPhone users have been able to check battery health information directly from the Settings app. However, this feature was not available on the iPad – until now. With the launch of the new M2 iPad Air And M4 iPad ProApple has finally brought the Battery Health menu to iPadOS.
As he pointed out iCultureall the new iPads launched last week (M2air And M4 Pro) features a battery health menu for the first time. This means that iPad owners can also check the maximum battery capacity without having to use third-party apps like CoconutBattery.
In fact, Apple has done more than just add maximum battery capacity. Just like the new iPhone 15 models M2 iPad Air And M4 iPad Pro It also offers an option to limit the maximum charge to 80% in order to preserve the life of the internal battery. As a result, your iPad automatically stops charging when it reaches 80%.
However, there is a catch. None of this will be available for earlier iPad models, even if you installed the latest iPadOS update, version 17.5. So, if you have an older iPad, you’ll still have to use third-party apps to check the battery health – and you won’t have the option to select 80% charge either.
Of course, Apple could still change this in the future with a software update, but that seems unlikely given that only the latest iPhones have all these options.
the new M2 iPad Air And M4 iPad Pro Available to order on Apple’s website, the official launch is scheduled for Wednesday.
