Wouldn't "spicy pillow" be the main problem with old iPads? My iPad Air 4th gen doesn't have an option to limit charging to 80% etc.

- jraph 1y agoGood point. My old iPad's battery is still lasting very long, but I don't know how it would behave if it were indefinitely plugged.
- owenmakes 1y agoI keep mine unplugged and it gets surprising good battery life, and I think it kinda improved with the downgrade. On normal use I would get like 8-10 hrs screen on time. No spicy pillow yet, though I did have that issue with my old iPod.
- jraph 1y agoDo you know long it can last unplugged answering requests with insomnia? My old iPad lasts weeks on its battery if I don't use it, I can only imagine it actually sleeps and would not answer network requests in this state.
- owenmakes 1y agoNo idea honestly, but the main reason the battery lasts so long is that it turns the WiFi off, which is why I had to install Insomnia. It was doing fine so far, with 60% battery, but decided to plug it in since it's getting many requests now
- jraph 1y agoOK, thanks! Congrats for the successes :-)
- pndy 1y agoThen you're lucky. I had iPad 2 and Air 1. Older one is completely dead for 5 years now and doesn't react to plugged cable at all, while newer charges whole day and keeps battery for 4-5 hours. Air 3 I've got on ebay-like site holds pretty well but the same model that my partner got from official dealer had always issues with touch recognition.
- jraph 1y agoThe battery might have been changed once, not sure about this.
- acquacow 1y agoI'm still using an OG Gen1 64GB iPad for movies/etc when traveling. The battery does just fine and easily survives watching a full movie or two.
