So I’ve come back to iPad after a while with the Samsung Tab S6 and I’m curious about my battery life. I’m getting about 2 days. So charge, all day, no charge, all day, charge. I watch some video but not a lot, there’s about 3 hours of newspaper etc in the morning and maybe some candy crush. Email is shared between phone and ipad. Is this normal? Am I being over expectant in wanting more? Worse case should I just stick it on charge every night? Let’s face it I don’t go anywhere at the moment ?

2 days seems extremely good for your use case.

A work day of use is great already if that happens. Two days is a great result with moderate use.
