John Gruber:
It’s always shocking when you actually run out of battery on the iPad.
He goes on to say that even when you get the 20% warning, it’s not as much a warning as a friendly heads up. Something like this might affect you in the future.
I couldn’t agree more. When I use my iPad it shocks me how long it can last before I need to plug it in. It’s really amazing, too. I notice I usually plug my iPad in every-other time I plug my iPhone in. And I plug my iPhone in maybe every other day. So with that logic, my iPad can last around 4 days, sometimes 5, depending on usage. I always cycle my batteries – I’ll never leave a device plugged in overnight, with the exception of calibrations (such as the first charge, etc).
He goes on to talk about his previous assessment of LTE. Again, I agree completely agree with his reasoning. Why else is there no iPhone-size Android device with LTE? I think the LTE chips are too big, which is why Android phones are so big, and their battery life is horrible.
