Our household owns several iPhones and iPads. The X, 8, 7, SE all have worse battery life on iOS 13 compared to iOS 12, which was worse compared to iOS 11. And we all got fresh batteries with 100% health around each year or so. So tested fresh.
Got a tip for us?

so to update this, I took the iPad to an Apple store a couple of weeks before everything closed down, and they said the battery was at 92% health. The technician I spoke with said that if their diagnostics had shown that it was significantly degraded then as they can’t change the batteries in iPads, they would have replaced the whole thing for the cost of a battery replacement (£80ish).

Mine’s at 85% health after 2.5 years (280 cycles) I say it’s about right (80% at 300-400cycle mark). Batteries deteriorate much like iPhones and Macs. I’m keeping mine for about 2 more years and see how the battery holds up. I invested in a 30w charger recently and don’t have to worry that much about recharge speed.
What kind of white spots were those? Small dots, like pixel-size, or larger areas?
the problem is that the correlation between cycles and health can be extremely low...
My 9.7 pro has 97.2 health with 212 cycles while my mini 5 has 87.2% health with just 27 cycles (and is much younger...). My mini 4 has 77% health with 142 cycles...
So it's all over the place... Tested with both Coconut and Imazing... cycles are the same, health is close...

Blotchy white spots all over the display is the best way to describe it.
Ok, then that's something different than what I've seen! I've had two consecutive replacements due to a single, about pencil-tip-sized bright white spot (not a defective pixel though).
