- They perform the first tests of the new iPad battery Air 2.
- The Air 2 iPad battery has less capacity than the iPad Air.
- This also is reflected in its autonomy, which is reduced by 14%.
Undergo several tests to the battery of the new iPad Air 2
The iPad Air 2 is already on sale in several markets and with it, are starting to get the first tests. One of the tests that are usually done when the devices come to market is related to the battery. Usually, Apple does not usually announce what capacity is the battery of your devices, but disclosed what autonomy offers in hours. For the iPad Air 2, announced that its autonomy came down to 10 hours, but have now come to Light a test in which the results are not as expected.
Although Apple claims to offer greater autonomy, we must say the Air iPad 2 is lower than the iPad Air, which makes sense considering that the final model integrates a battery with less capacity and more powerful components. While the iPad Air has inside 8.820mAh battery, the iPad is 7.340mAh Air 2, almost 17% less capacity.
Apple wanted to make an even thinner and lighter tablet, but this had to sacrifice some things, including the size of the battery. A few days ago we told you that he had discovered that his capacity was reduced after dismount iFixit iPad Air 2 , but today the results of the first tests done to check we bring battery.
How long does the iPad battery Air 2?
After performing these tests, it has been found that the Air iPad 2 has a range somewhat lower than that of his older brother, iPad Air. As seen in the picture, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is in first place with a time of almost 9 hours, followed by the iPad Air with 8 hours and 38 minutes Air iPad 2 in third with a time 7 hours and 27 minutes. In terms of duration, the drop between one model and another is one hour and 11 minutes, which means it is 14% less.
As mentioned above, the fact that the iPad Air 2 is much thinner does have to modify some components. This time, Apple had to diminish the capacity of the battery of your tablet, decreasing by almost 17% compared to the previous model.
All tablets are subjected to the test under the same conditions
To perform this test, from PhoneArena say that all tablets are subjected to the same conditions. Among other things, the screen is calibrated at 200 nits and a script that simulates average use that runs continuously in a loop until the battery runs runs.
For its part, Apple says that although it has diminished the capacity of the battery in the iPad Air 2, does not affect the life of this, which comes to 10 hours. However, these tests show that it is not and that autonomy itself is somewhat shorter. But also keep in mind that battery life varies depending on how it is used and the configuration that we put on the device, as there are functions that consume more energy than others.
