Users of iPad Air (5th generation) with battery health around 80% and 600–700 cycles — how has your battery life been in daily use? How many hours of screen time do you usually get?
I bought my Air M1 5th gen in March 2023 and it has around 86% SoH left. I don’t remember the amount of cycles out of my head. The battery life is not far from awful tbh… Sometimes I get around 7 hours of usage and sometimes it burns through 8% of battery in 10 minutes of photo editing (Apple Photos

My iPad only charges when i restart it.
Same here — iPad Air 5th gen (2022). After updating to iOS 26 it worked fine for a while, but now it no longer recognizes any fast chargers. I managed to revive it from a 0% dead battery using a USB-A to USB-C cable with a slow-charging adapter. Now it only charges when connected to a computer and a
