The new iPad isn’t just a product with a weird name, but also a nice piece of new technology, that includes a lot of pixels and… a lot of battery power. The idea here is to power up that new CPU and power hungry LTE chipset. Apple still managed to squeeze 10 hours of life out of this baby and even 9 hours with 4G n. How did they do that? Let’s see…
The Cupertino giant increased the battery capacity by no less than 70% and then made it dense and compact enough to fit into the iPad 4G case. ZDNet claims that the new iPad’s battery is a huge 11.666 mAh in capacity, which is impressive when compared to the iPad 2’s power source of 6994 mAh. iPad 2 had an amazing battery life and its power source took up quite a lot of space inside the case, so the performance here is all the more impressive. Apple managed to achieve a never before seen level of battery density, that might actually lead to achievements in the laptop and phone segment.
We might get to see new MacBooks and iPhones taking advantage of this technology, with the former lasting all day and the latter finally getting some decent days of use. Also, this means that LTE will now become a standard on Apple devices, since the batteries can take the punch. The only thing to figure out here is if this huge capacity battery will take long to charge or not…
