Because Apple Doesn't Make It Easy (Those Sly Minxes)
Now, unlike iPhones, iPads are a little coy about revealing their battery health. Apple, in all their infinite wisdom, has tucked this information away like a prized truffle pig hiding the good stuff. But worry not, for we shall unearth this knowledge together!
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
Here's the not-so-secret secret:
- Head over to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements. This sounds exciting, right? Like we're about to become data analysis ninjas!
- Turn on "Share iPad Analytics" (because sharing is caring, especially when it comes to your iPad's battery woes).
- Now, here's the tricky part: Navigate back to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements and tap on "Analytics Data". You'll see a bunch of cryptic files. Don't panic! Just tap on the most recent file.
- Here comes the fun part: You're basically playing digital detective! Copy the entire text within the file.
- Open the Notes app and paste that copied text. Now, you can search within the note. Type in "last_value_MaximumCapacityPercent" (because us tech-savvy folks love throwing around jargon). The magic number next to it is your battery health percentage.
For example, if you see "80" next to "last_value_MaximumCapacityPercent," your battery health is at 80%.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Important Note: This method might seem a bit roundabout (because it totally is), but it's the only way to check your iPad's battery health in iOS 16 for now. Don't worry, Apple will probably get around to making it easier in a future update... maybe.
