Thinking about the 16GB/1TB model. Does anyone expect the battery life to be less with that configuration that it would be with the 8GB/512GB model?

Interesting ?. Thinking it may be slightly better due to memory swapping ie less.

Interestingly, the 12.9 iPad has a bigger battery now. Let's see if that translates into better battery life for that model.

Probably just big enough to support the Mini-LED display while maintaining same battery life. Could be a big boon for users who normally keep the display at very low brightness, though.

Hey, I thought the Mini-LED was supposed to be more energy efficient? You make it sound like it's not?

It may be more efficient but peak brightness is also higher.

Ugh, I was going to check details for the battery test on the iPad Pro from the product page but ended up getting this. That extra RAM couldn't come soon enough.
