New iPad maintains 10 hours battery life
Graphics-savvy iPad maintains battery life
Leveraging its efficient chip design, Apple says the latest iPad batteries can still run for 10 hours, like the iPad 2, and for nine hours on the 4G LTE cellular network.
Even with a big boost in display resolution, the latest iPad will still have 10 hours of battery life and nine hours on the 4G LTE cellular network.
During the launch of the new iPad, Apple announced a high-definition Retina Display powered by a quad-core A5X chip, along with other features such as an improved camera and high-definition video recording.
The enhanced graphics add a substantial processing load on the iPad and thus demand for battery power, Apple executives said during the launch. But the new iPad will continue to have 10 hours of battery life.
Even on the 4G network, the iPad will have nine hours of Apple A1185 Battery life, which would be a big improvement to many smartphones that don’t last a full day using the cellular network. Apple didn’t elaborate on how it was able to improve the power efficiency of the device, but it’s no doubt rooted in the A5X chip design and how it’s optimised for graphics.
