Apple claims that owners of the iPad Air can expect ten hours of battery life, and according to this research, it actually manages to exceed the estimations of its overlord, clocking in 11 hours of Internet use and almost 13 hours of video use, which is impressive by anybody’s standards.
Today we’ve got a new chart made by the folks at Which.co.uk which made a comparison between iPad Air/iPad Mini with retina display/ iPad 2/Galaxy Tab and some other tablets..
iPad mini with Retina display managed to finish a close second on Internet use, with 10 hours and 14 minutes before ceasing to run, and even more impressively, in third place on the battle for the longest-lasting tablet for browsing the Web, was the now-antiquated iPad 2.
So, not only is the iPad by far the most popular of the high-end tablets, but its status is, going by these figures, more than justified. After a couple of rather uninspiring releases in the form of the iPad 3 and iPad 4 (although the former did, at least, introduce the Retina display), Apple has really come out fighting with the Air, and as well as looking the part, it seems to boast the performance to back it up.
