Why does the iPad not show battery health in Settings: Battery?
Show threadJohn GruberJan 27, 2023
iPhone, Apple Watch, and even MacBooks all show battery health. Only iPads do not. Very odd!

@gruber do you care about the iPad battery? mine are all like at least 3 years old and always plugged in. I'm sure the battery panel would be unflattering, but I don't care.

@sayrer @gruber If you're so confident, plug into a computer and run a utility that reports battery metrics to you, like:

With coconutBattery you are always aware of your current battery health. It shows you live information about the battery in your Mac and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad)

@pmcg @gruber I'm sure it would tell me bad things, but I never ever ever use an iPad not plugged in. Even on an airplane, it's got a USB-A plug.

@sayrer @gruber well, it might be interesting to see the number of battery cycles that have happened compared to your guess. Any iPad can be plugged into any Mac or Windows computer with the appropriate usb cable.
