I’ve had this new 12.9 Pro for over a week, is battery level at 17% with under 8 hours normal? My old 11 inch Pro seemed to last longer. Was at 100% at 9:30 this morning and by 7:30 tonight it’s at 17%

Thanks everyone.

No one can tell you if it’s normal from your description. You can have your brightness set at max or at the lowest setting. Screen brightness will have a huge impact on your battery life.

Are you doing intense video editing with your iPad Pro? Are you just using it to watch YouTube videos? What is your general use case scenario?

Doesn’t sound too weird and really hard to say more not knowing your use case, how much data was pulled, what apps were used etc.
