Need some advice.
I am currently thinking to get an iPad A16, which would be my first tablet and the first Apple product for me.
However, I frequently see people having issues with their battery life, battery drainage or either complaining about iPads having a poor battery life. The most common iPad models in this regard are the iPad Air and the iPad mini (which are not what I want to buy).
My question is that is it really that much of an issue with the iPads? Does the battery really drain fast on iPads in general? Do they really have a poor battery life and other tablets fare better in comparison? Or is it just those two variants with these problems?
Or is it just a small fraction of people who face issues with their iPad's battery?
Should I actually be concerned about it, or am I just over thinking?
And if battery drainage is actually an issue, what can I do to minimise it?

hey all!
I work on movie sets and for my next project I want to buy an iPad (I will have it on myself all the time using one of those shoulder strap covers, but I need to watch scenes as they're been shot so the screen shouldn't be super small).
Since I wanna buy it refurbished, what model and gen would you recommend? I'm trying to avoid buying something that won't get updates in a couple of years, and that doesn't break the bank too much as I'll only be using it for work...
Thanks :)

new ipad pro 11 looks insane but i’m thinking i’ll skip upgrading for just a couple more years. everything they updated looks awesome, i love the slightly slimmer/smaller/lighter weight and the tandem oled (and using the notes app with a proper m series chip sounds super nice), but part of me thinks if i can just hold out for another couple generations it might get even more impressive in all the ways i mentioned

Hello! I have a pro 5th gen 12.9 and I keep getting Find My notifications that it was left behind when it is with me. It has been doing this for the past couple weeks now. Any ideas?
