Anyone has any idea?

Because I really think the feature is very useful. for example it stops charging around 80% on my M1 MacBook Air, with different justified reasons when I check on it.
so I like this feature and even though I don’t feel it protects the iPhone as much as the Mac, I would like to see it on iPad.
however I cannot find this feature on iPadOS 14.6, i.e. my new M1 iPad Pro 12.9. And it always charge to 100%.

I think the main reason is due to how large the iPad and battery is. Heat dissipation is much better versus the phone. I think the other part is to keep people from obsessing about it like they do the iPhone. A lot of seemingly normal people on here get all crazy about battery health on the iPhone. lol
Thanks for your input. however the Macs have much larger battery yet they have this feature.

We’ll file it under missing features like the iPhones weather and calculator apps. Hope it does show up one day.

Or low power mode for that matter!

I’d wager this comes to iPadOS 15. The battery management feature helps to reduce frequency of battery replacements and in turn saves a decent amount of money for Apple. Far less battery replacements under Apple Care+.

Yes, and I think the iPads need it than ever. because 9-10 hours usage is no longer considered long, comparing to M1 Mac‘s 14-16 hours.
