| Wouldn't "spicy pillow" be the main problem with old iPads? My iPad Air 4th gen doesn't have an option to limit charging to 80% etc. |

| I'm still using an OG Gen1 64GB iPad for movies/etc when traveling. The battery does just fine and easily survives watching a full movie or two. |

| Good point. My old iPad's battery is still lasting very long, but I don't know how it would behave if it were indefinitely plugged. |

| ▲ | pndy 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Then you're lucky. I had iPad 2 and Air 1. Older one is completely dead for 5 years now and doesn't react to plugged cable at all, while newer charges whole day and keeps battery for 4-5 hours. Air 3 I've got on ebay-like site holds pretty well but the same model that my partner got from official dealer had always issues with touch recognition. | | |
| ▲ | jraph 4 days ago | parent [-] | | The battery might have been changed once, not sure about this. |

| ▲ | owenmakes 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | I keep mine unplugged and it gets surprising good battery life, and I think it kinda improved with the downgrade. On normal use I would get like 8-10 hrs screen on time. No spicy pillow yet, though I did have that issue with my old iPod. | | |
| ▲ | jraph 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Do you know long it can last unplugged answering requests with insomnia? My old iPad lasts weeks on its battery if I don't use it, I can only imagine it actually sleeps and would not answer network requests in this state. | | |
| ▲ | owenmakes 3 days ago | parent [-] | | No idea honestly, but the main reason the battery lasts so long is that it turns the WiFi off, which is why I had to install Insomnia. It was doing fine so far, with 60% battery, but decided to plug it in since it's getting many requests now | | |
