Running iOS 12 on an IPP 12.9 G2 LTE.
Since updating to iOS 12, basic battery usage seems to be unchanged except for video use. I have noticed whether it is YouTube, Spectrum TV, Netflix, or Amazon, (my major viewing items), this device burns through battery at a higher pace than pre-iOS 12.
I usually have my iPad tuned to Spectrum TV for 3-4 hours in the morning while at my desk an I am now finding that by the end of that time my battery level under iOS 12 is under 50% when in the past it was between 60%-70%. I notice this also on weekends while watching some other venue.

Hoping it is the apps specifically.
 
Have run youtube clips for little over 3 hours in total since last charge around 3 days ago and mine says 72% left. Think it’s pretty good.
