The iPad Is Getting Some Love, Too

With iOS 17.5, Apple will also release iPadOS 17.5, which, for the most part, will bring many of the same things that are coming to your iPhone to your iPad as well. The big exception are those EU app distribution changes, which Apple doesn’t have to implement in iPadOS for another few months.

However, this year, Apple is reportedly adding Battery Health to the iPad, a much-needed feature that’s been on the iPhone for years.

With Battery Health, you can easily check your iPad battery’s maximum capacity. Moreover, you should also be able to understand other data about your battery, like the number of times you’ve used your battery’s capacity and if the battery is performing well or not.

Unfortunately, the iPadOS 17.5 beta doesn’t yet include a Battery Health option in the settings, which means we might not see this feature come into play yet. But there’s still hope.
