The 10 Day Forecast: Battery Life and Overall Performance of iPad OS 16

As we dive into the world of iPad OS 16, it's essential to get an overall idea of what to expect from a battery standpoint. By analyzing the forecast for the past 10 days, we can see that battery life has been improving steadily. On a day like Friday, for example, we had six hours and 39 minutes of screen on time with less than 100 battery use, which is a great battery day for an iPad Pro.

This level of battery life is especially impressive when considering the speaker's usage habits. As someone who doesn't follow best practices when it comes to battery management, I've noticed that my screen never dims, I always have it on full brightness, and it's always connected to the Magic Keyboard. Additionally, with the recent update, I'm now using a secondary display, which is charging at the same time as the iPad. Despite these habits, we still managed to get six hours and 39 minutes of screen on time, making it an excellent battery day.

In contrast, on a day like Wednesday, we had about three hours of screen off time, with Lumafusion taking up more than half of that at two and a half hours. Meanwhile, Final Cut Pro took up two hours and seven minutes, while Photos was open for four hours. If you're using the iPad on a day like Wednesday, this translates to around three and a half hours of screen on time, with only 50 battery use. This is equivalent to a seven-hour day of heavy usage on a single charge, which is a significant improvement from our previous experience with iPad OS.

Battery Life is Getting Better

The good news is that battery life is getting better and better with each passing update. With iPad OS 16, we've seen improvements in terms of power management, leading to longer battery life. While it's still not at the level where we can expect up to eight hours of screen on time on a single charge, it's clear that Apple is making strides in this area.

One notable feature that has contributed to these improvements is Stage Manager, which allows users to create multiple windows and tabs on their iPad. While we haven't yet had the chance to fully explore this feature, early impressions suggest that it's a game-changer for productivity. With Stage Manager, users can easily switch between apps, take notes, and collaborate with others in a seamless and intuitive way.

Performance: A Mixed Bag

In terms of overall performance, iPad OS 16 is generally very good. The device itself is stable, and apps open normally without any major issues. However, things start to get wonky when you begin using the secondary monitor display. Orientations don't match up correctly, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and crashes can occur.

This is particularly noticeable when using Stage Manager on a secondary display. While the feature itself is stable when used primarily on the device, it becomes less reliable when connected to an external monitor. It's clear that Apple still needs to iron out some of these issues before they can fully recommend Stage Manager for all users.

Recommendation

While iPad OS 16 has its quirks, particularly with the secondary display feature, we're overall extremely happy with the performance and battery life. The new features, such as Promise and Shared Library, have also added value to our experience.

That being said, we still can't fully recommend updating to iPad OS 16 beta 3 just yet, primarily due to the stability issues with Stage Manager on secondary displays. If you're planning on using the iPad primarily on your device, with floating windows on the main screen, then for the most part, it's very stable.

However, if you do decide to upgrade and push the limits of this feature, be prepared for some instability. The orientations don't match up correctly, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and crashes can occur. It's essential to keep these limitations in mind when deciding whether or not to update your iPad to iPad OS 16.

What's Next?

As we move forward with iPad OS 16, there are still more features to come. One of the most exciting updates is the new Collaboration Mode, which promises to revolutionize the way we work together on projects. While this feature hasn't been fully implemented yet, it's clear that Apple is committed to delivering a seamless and collaborative experience.

Additionally, the Free Form Like Collaboration Canvas mentioned at WWDC is still in the works. This feature has the potential to change the way we collaborate on creative projects, and we can't wait to see what it brings.

Conclusion

In conclusion, iPad OS 16 has made significant strides in terms of battery life and overall performance. While there are still some limitations and quirks to work out, particularly with Stage Manager on secondary displays, the device is generally very stable and enjoyable to use.

As we move forward, it's clear that Apple is committed to delivering a seamless and collaborative experience for users. With features like Promise, Shared Library, Collaboration Mode, and Free Form Like Collaboration Canvas, iPad OS 16 has set a high bar for future updates.

If you're due for an upgrade or are considering purchasing a new device, we highly recommend keeping an eye on these developments. With each passing update, Apple is continually improving the user experience, making it easier to get work done on the go.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso ipad os 16 beta 3 just released all developers to try out test out and see exactly what apple's doing to improve the user experience they made some really interesting additions to make it a lot easier to navigate especially if you're a first time user of ipad os 16 and also they added one very cool feature which none of us really saw coming which we're going to talk about in a little bit but without further ado let's talk about ipad os 16 beta 3 let's get it so let's get right into this video everybody if i go into the images i always like to take a screenshot of how big the file size was so the update was about 1.2 gigabytes to get this thing installed always double that internally to make sure you have enough space to get it installed so give yourself at least 2.5 to 3 gigs of empty storage to get this installed correctly and that's for ipad os 16 beta 3. and then the next thing i like to go over is the actual build number so if we go into the settings go into general go into the about section and go to this version this is actually the first new feature for lack of a better term so normally when you click on the ipad os 16 or the version before ipad os 16 it would just show the version number right here in parentheses with ipad os 16 beta 1 and 2 it actually showed it in a different view in like a splash screen but now this one we get a whole separate menu and the build number here is 2 0 a 5 3 1 2 lowercase g the closer and closer we get to going down on this final letter so down to c b a and finally getting rid of it by the time we get rid of it that means it's going to be the rc edition and then finally we'll get the final release to the entire public which should be sometime in september and the latest early october so now let's jump into what's new with this update so the first thing i'm going to show you guys is if you go into settings scroll down into privacy and security and then scroll all the way down to this new security tab called lockdown mode so lockdown mode is an extreme again extreme optional protection that should only be used if you believe you may be personally targeted by a highly sophisticated cyber attack most people are never targeted by attacks of this nature so this is for somebody who's you know in the government who thinks they have somebody following them around derek from the nine to five team actually had a great video going in depth about this feature so i'll link down down below if you guys want to check it out but again if you want to turn on lockdown mode there's a bunch of different splash screens and a bunch of different warnings but some of the things that you're going to miss out on right so in messages most messages attachments are going to be blocked facetime incoming facetime calls from people that you have never previously facetimed will not come through shared albums won't work device connection so wire connections with another device or accessory while your ipad is locked is going to be blocked apple services profiles so configuration profiles such as profiles for school or work cannot be installed so again this is a mode that if you really really really really need to protect your identity your data you know your ipad your ios device then i guess turn this guy on i'm personally not going to turn this guy on i'm not really being followed by anybody but if you're somebody that is needing this lockdown mode it's now a new feature clearly it's something that apple wanted to implement because it was a feature that was needed at some point by at least a subset of people so now it's there if you do need to actually get into the lockdown mode just go into the privacy the next new feature is a feature was actually promised during wwdc which was shared libraries so if you go into icloud go into your icloud here then go into photos we now have this new shared library toggle so create a shared library to combine photos and videos with the people closest to you so if you press set up we're going to go through this process real real quick you can only have one shared library and whoever creates it will provide icloud storage for all items so keep that in mind if you create your own shared library and you share it with 30 other people and then you start to upload to that shared library and it gets very very full it's going to take up your icloud storage so if you press start setup you can add as many participants as you want we'll add people later you can move photos to shared libraries so choose existing photos and videos to move out of your personal library and into your shared library so again keep that in mind if you do have a shared library it's going to segregate your photos so they're not going to be duplicate photos they're going to show up the same way in your photos library it'll just have a little toggle that says it's in a shared library versus it's going to be on device or on your personal icloud we'll move the photos later invite later and then a shared library has been created give it a second to load up and then the next thing you see is that you can actually share directly from the cameras i'm going to share manually only we're going to press done and if i go into the camera which is again is facing down so it's gonna be hard to really see you have a toggle right here which turns off and on shared library mode so any picture you take when this is turned on will go directly into the shared library some other new features and i guess small changes is if you go into your general then go into accessibility and scroll all the way down to hearing the new live caption glyph is actually a little bit different compared to the last betas and then i do want to show off what the live caption ui looks like so if you turn it on you actually get this new little i guess drop down i don't know what you would call this a little floating window which allows you to live caption whatever things are playing in the background so if your youtube video is playing something in apple tv something on netflix any audio that's being sounded off from the ipad will now do live captioning on a native side so even if the application you're using doesn't have closed captioning or live caption the ipad will do its best ios and ipad os will do its best to caption that in real time so it's always a nice feature to have and i'm glad it is now a native feature built into the operating system versus relying on third-party applications to do it for you another new setting is actually in the wallet section so as you guys know ipad os doesn't have a dedicated wallet application like ios does but there is a little section in the actual settings that lets you play with all your wallet information so here down here this is the new setting so use apple pay when available your saved cards in safari autofill and will be verified with payment networks for compatibility with apple pay so it's just an easier way to pay so you no longer have to go through the apple pay little section when you do check out it'll automatically do it for you and also it changes up the numbers virtually so you can really never get hacked if somebody's trying to steal your information another interesting one that came up is if we go into general go to software update then go to automatic updates this is brand new down here so install security responses and system files so this is by default turned on if you want to turn them off by all means you can but it's a rapid security response and system file for ipad and supported accessories will be installed automatically you may need to restart your ipad to complete the installation so it's basically just some more security updates that are going to be automatically installed i don't really understand why apple's divvying them up like i feel like they should just be implemented automatically i don't know why people wouldn't want security updates and security patches to be installed at all times but that is a feature that can now be you know manually toggled off if you see fit and one of the last things we saw in the actual settings is in the reminders settings so if you go to the reminders we'll lower this down you now actually have a new section here in the badge count called include do today so normally when you are using reminders which i don't use reminders too often but when you're using reminders the little notification badge icon which you see on applications i can't really find one right now because i don't have any notifications but normally a little red icon that you see will pop up on the reminders app but it will only have the number on there correlating to the things that are past due so now if you have something that's due today you can toggle that on and then it'll also be included inside of that badge icon and now let's move on to the stage manager updates that came with ipad os 16 beta 3. so there were a couple of new changes that apple brought with stage manager just to make it a little bit easier to navigate when using it especially as a new user so we got a new splash screen when opening up stage manager with an external display so using an ipad and an external display you can create the ideal extended workspace multitask with ease and it's basically just walking you through what to expect with stage manager so that is what you're dealing with when it comes to stage manager just a new little splash screen the next cool thing that was added is if you go into your settings go to home screen and multitasking and then you have a new stage manager section down here multitasking if you click on that you then have a new view of what stage manager is like so i remember i told you guys that if you go in here and long press on the stage manager icon you have the ability to remove and add the dock and same with the recently opened apps on the left hand side but now you have a new view inside of the settings to do so and you also have this toggle up here so if i do plug in an external display let me turn one on you can see that the external display did turned on right above the ipad itself and then if i go in here you now have the ability to customize the external display above so if i remove the dock ideally the dock should be removed from that top display which it hasn't quite yet but again those are just some of the bugs that we're dealing with when it comes to a beta 3 but i'm sure once the update is fully updated and ready to go for the public that things like that are going to work so right now that's the idea that you're going to be able to use both different screens as its own kind of entity and control it depending on which one you want with the dock down which one you want with the dock on same thing with the recent apps on the left hand side and that recent app shelf the next thing i want to show off is on these three dots so this is how you navigate ipad os so if i go out of here let's open up something like safari real quick and if you press on the three multitasking dots right here it's actually completely changed up so before all we had were the glyphs so if you weren't really aware of what was going on you kind of just had to guess what each one of them did but we now have actual words attached to those glyphs so you have the ability to zoom add another window minimize move it to that secondary display and then we also have a close button so let's see what happens when we press this close button so you close it we get a new little animation and it gets closed down if i have to go back here i'll open it up and then you can see that it's a brand new safari window which i'm totally happy with i wish there wasn't way to like apple cue if i press apple q obviously that doesn't work but again we do have that ability now and then zoom just makes it everything full screen you know you can move this to another display which you can see up top and it is in full screen mode if i go to the wide screen angle which is honestly very very cool the fact you can have a full screen ultra wide monitor and have safari running pretty smoothly at this point even with a beta 3. and then one last thing that i did notice not really a feature but just something that i noticed in the ui is as you can see i have my recent app shelf on the left hand side of the screen if you hover over you can see that it all moves to the right so the main window that you're working on goes away to the right if you hover over and stay there for a second or two it gives you a better visual of each of the applications that are open then you can grab it drag it over and you have your multiple windows going the last thing i want to quickly go over is just battery life so in the battery life section so far ipad os 16 hasn't been too bad especially for a beta i like to go through the 10 day forecast to get an overall idea and an average of what i've been dealing with from a battery standpoint so if we go on a day like friday you can see we had six hours and 39 minutes of screen on time with less than 100 battery use that is a great battery day for an ipad pro especially for my ipad pro because we've gone through some poor poor battery life again i don't follow best practices when it comes to battery my screen never dims i always have on full brightness it's always connected to the magic keyboard and now i have it using a secondary display even though it is charging at the same time when it is plugged in but again six hours and 39 minutes is great and also three hours of screen off time you can see that lumafusion took up more than half of that at two and a half hours finals was two hours and seven minutes photos was open for four hours and if you're on a day like wednesday it was about three and a half hours of screen on time and we used only 50 battery that to me is a seven hour day of very heavy usage on a single charge so battery life is getting better and better with ipad os 16 which is not something i thought i would be able to say with a beta update but overall very happy with battery life because we used to get four maybe five hours now that we're creeping closer to that seven hour mark i'm getting very happy and then overall performance it's honestly very good on the ipad itself so if you do not use that secondary monitor which i have up open right now and you aren't moving windows back and forth then for the most part it's like 95 to 99 stable stage manager works great on the ipad itself apps open normally i haven't had any issues with data loss but it's not until you start to open stuff up on that secondary display where things get a little bit wonky you know orientations don't match up correctly sometimes it doesn't work and that's really when all the crashes do happen but if you do want to try out stage manager mode and you're going to use it primarily on device and not try to use a secondary monitor support then it will work and it'll be pretty stable so just keep that in mind if you are thinking about updating to ipad os 16. now let's get out of here and finish up this video so that's pretty much gonna do it for this video everybody like you saw apple made some nice updates especially on the user experience side to make it a little bit easier to navigate especially with a new feature like stage manager making everything a little bit more visible a little bit more in your face and a lot more customizable in the settings menu and then also they brought that new like mission impossible 007 feature called lockdown mode derrick from the nine to five team actually made a great video going in depth about it so if you guys do want to check that out i'll leave that link down in the description below and apple also finally implemented some new promise features like the shared library feature that they talked about in wwdc and some other smaller additives just to make the experience a little bit better overall so i think we are almost there i still won't fully recommend updating to ipad os 16 beta 3 just because of the secondary monitor like instability so far if you're planning on using it just on your ipad and you just want the floating windows on your main ipad then for the most part it is very stable it's really not until you push the limits on that secondary monitor display that it really starts to kind of break and mess up and the orientations are wonky and again that is the one piece of this software that i'm just not ready to recommend quite yet but overall i'm extremely happy with ipad os 16 and the strides that we're making and we haven't even touched on the new collaboration mode that hasn't been implemented yet or that free form like collaboration canvas that they mentioned at wwe dc so there's still more to come with the ipad so i don't know about you guys but the ipad is really turning into the computing device or the only computing device that most people are going to need it's just going to be a matter of preference at this point but that's going to do it for this video everybody if you did enjoy leave a little dolphin in the comments down below so i know you made it and leave some comments down below in terms of what your favorite ipad os 16 feature is have you played with stage manager yet have you had the ability to install the beta on your ipad let me know in the comments below i'm always very curious and if you guys want to watch some more videos on ios ipad os or mac os click on one of these videos right here but until next time i'm outta here youso ipad os 16 beta 3 just released all developers to try out test out and see exactly what apple's doing to improve the user experience they made some really interesting additions to make it a lot easier to navigate especially if you're a first time user of ipad os 16 and also they added one very cool feature which none of us really saw coming which

open for four hours and if you're on a day like wednesday it was about three and a half hours of screen on time and we used only 50 battery that to me is a seven hour day of very heavy usage on a single charge so battery life is getting better and better with ipad os 16 which is not something i thought i would be able to say with a beta update but overall very happy with battery life because we used to get four maybe five hours now that we're creeping closer to that seven hour mark i'm getting very happy and then overall performance it's honestly very good on the ipad itself so if you do not use that secondary monitor which i have up open right now and you aren't moving windows back and forth then for the most part it's like 95 to 99 stable stage manager works great on the ipad itself apps open normally i haven't had any issues with data loss but it's not until you start to open stuff up on that secondary display where things get a little bit wonky you know orientations don't match up correctly sometimes it doesn't work and that's really when all the crashes do happen but if you do want to try out stage manager mode and you're going to use it primarily on device and not try to use a secondary monitor support then it will work and it'll be pretty stable so just keep that in mind if you are thinking about updating to ipad os 16. now let's get out of here and finish up this video so that's pretty much gonna do it for this video everybody like you saw apple made some nice updates especially on the user experience side to make it a little bit easier to navigate especially with a new feature like stage manager making everything a little bit more visible a little bit more in your face and a lot more customizable in the settings menu and then also they brought that new like mission impossible 007 feature called lockdown mode derrick from the nine to five team actually made a great video going in depth about it so if you guys do want to check that out i'll leave that link down in the description below and apple also finally implemented some new promise features like the shared library feature that they talked about in wwdc and some other smaller additives just to make the experience a little bit better overall so i think we are almost there i still won't fully recommend updating to ipad os 16 beta 3 just because of the secondary monitor like instability so far if you're planning on using it just on your ipad and you just want the floating windows on your main ipad then for the most part it is very stable it's really not until you push the limits on that secondary monitor display that it really starts to kind of break and mess up and the orientations are wonky and again that is the one piece of this software that i'm just not ready to recommend quite yet but overall i'm extremely happy with ipad os 16 and the strides that we're making and we haven't even touched on the new collaboration mode that hasn't been implemented yet or that free form like collaboration canvas that they mentioned at wwe dc so there's still more to come with the ipad so i don't know about you guys but the ipad is really turning into the computing device or the only computing device that most people are going to need it's just going to be a matter of preference at this point but that's going to do it for this video everybody if you did enjoy leave a little dolphin in the comments down below so i know you made it and leave some comments down below in terms of what your favorite ipad os 16 feature is have you played with stage manager yet have you had the ability to install the beta on your ipad let me know in the comments below i'm always very curious and if you guys want to watch some more videos on ios ipad os or mac os click on one of these videos
