I’m still rocking a first gen 11” iPad Pro and the battery is definitely showing it’s age. There hasn’t been a meaningful improvement since it launched so I’m looking forward to this update. Who else is rocking a 4+ year old iPad? I feel like the average lifespan for most peoples iPads seem to be pushing 5 years which is crazy good.
I mean this could happen in Europe, but I suspect something as integral to design/engineering might have Apple wanting to go ahead and split the designs between Europe and other markets. They just love control too much I think to go big in on this feature everywhere.
