Just chiming in to say I appreciate this thread – been thinking of getting this exact model, and now I know to definitely get AppleCare+ if I do, because I'd likely be under 80% at a year.
Bought a 11" Pro 3 days ago. Very happy with it and of course battery health is 100 % with just 1 cycle on it. Looking forward to using my new iPad extensively.
Here’s mine. I’ve mostly kept it on the 80% limit because my iPads are inconsistently used. I typically only set it to fully charge when I know I have plans that will involve me taking it out of the house.
Current at 91% battery health with 317 charge cycles, and 80% limit turned on. Seems like this percentage health is starting to stabilise around this figure.
13” but it should be the same right? I use it as my laptop so around 2-3 hours a day on normal days where I have access to a computer. I do go on 2-3 week long trips where it becomes my main computer and pushes it to 8-10 hours a day. IDK if this is good or bad, my iPhone is at 81% and I still haven’t noticed a difference in overall performance.
