Why does the iPad not show battery health in Settings: Battery?
@gruber It's such a weird/bad omission. Especially since Apple does iPad battery replacements. Funny story: I had to get my iPad replaced under AppleCare+ (I had to do a few replacements, actually) and the phone support person tried to get me to go into that area to show her the battery health. I had to explain to her that the iPad doesn't have that feature, which was unrelated to half the screen not responding to touch anyway.
@film_girl @gruber Do they actually do battery replacements now? For the longest time they charged for a battery, and teplaced the whole unit.
@preston_neill @gruber yeah, I think they replace the whole thing. My point is that then do the service for a few or whatever.
@film_girl @preston_neill @gruber I was actually just denied battery service for my iPad at the Genius Bar, because their analytics said my iPad was at 91%. Literally, wouldn’t let me pay for it. Very frustrating experience, especially since the Apple Store isn’t close to my home.
@Modug @film_girl @gruber That’s super frustrating and could have been avoidable if the iPad had Battery Health in Settings. To Christina and John’s point, it is wild the iPad doesn’t have it and I’d bet the only reason the iPhone has it is the iPhone 6 throttling issue to keep from overloading the battery.
