Why does the iPad not show battery health in Settings: Battery?

@gruber the cynic in me says because ignorance is bliss…

If you don’t know you’re at 80% or under… you won’t know to claim on your AppleCare…

@daveycraney @gruber Bizarrely, my iPhone 12 Pro has been at 88% nearly ever since I first looked at it. it is about 2 years old. Is it accurate? Who knows. Battery seems okay in usage; everyone wishes their battery lasted longer.

@pmcg @gruber annoyingly, with my Apple Watch Series 6 I paid AppleCare for 2 years… battery was at 80%… tried to claim… ah ah aaaah sir. It has to be *below* 80%. Then care ran out.

They asked me to extend. I told them to jog on.

@daveycraney @gruber that is rough.

Nowadays you can extend coverage month to month. Could try to ruin the battery in a month, but that is unscrupulous and maybe unlikely to succeed.
