iPad 3 - 2019-2021

 My iPad's suddenly drain to zero and unable to recharge it again. Last night it was still 49% battery and today it is kaput.

The total usage date is 24 months , 2019-09-22 until today 2021-10-04 

Consider it is second hand device price at RM420, can consider the device is value for the buck.

One thing confirm is that once go for the retina screen, I can never use back the iPad 2 even the device still able to be used. 

iPad 3 - Battery

Based on the early usage, iPad 3 loses around 13% after usage of 1.4 hours. So the battery should be able to usage for around 7 hours max for each full charges. This seem a bit better than my Surface Pro 3.

My usage is only limited to single app usage only which is reading comics and using iBooks to read pdf.

More will be monitor to see the battery performance.

iPad 3 Screen

I tried to read comic and books using the device and I notice the wording is much sharper and easy to read than iPad 2. The higher resolution really make the reading experience much better. I should have bought the the device a few years earlier.

Now if the battery can hold up to iPad 2 standard, then I am in no need to purchase the entry level of iPad due to the screen felt like the same par as the current device. Not unless it is the laminated screen in iPad Air which doesn't have air gap or other higher spec that have better screen compare to this one.
