iPads are stated to get UP to 10 hours of battery life. Individual usage will vary.
How long does it last on a full charge? How old is your iPod Classic? After 3 years, most iPod batteries doesn't last more than 20 hours of continous music, or 2 hours of video. The lifespan of iPod Classic battery is about 400 recharge cycles, so if you have been charging it twice a day, it may not last 1 year.
The stated battery life is 10 hours of watching movies, so my experience is so far from this that it seems like there is a problem. My 2018 Air lasts much longer and even the old 2014 Air that it replaced seems to last longer.
Barring some unforeseen revolution in computing, your i7 should definitely be relevant for at least 4 or 5 years before you really would feel the need to upgrade for better performance.
iPad colours: Space Grey, Silver, Gold. The 8th generation iPad also exceeds expectations with its battery life. Apple quotes 10-hour battery life for web browsing, which is unchanged from the previous generation of iPad.
The iPad 9th Gen can easily last for another four to five years, here is why. The latest version of iPadOS, i.e., iPad OS 15, was launched in June 2021. Taking a look at the list of compatible devices, the oldest iPad to support this update is the iPad Air 2, which was launched in 2014.
In our battery tests, the 9th-gen iPad lasted almost exactly as long as the 8th-gen iPad: about eight hours running through the Geekbench 4 battery drain test with the display fixed at 200 nits.

No. In fact, none of them are – at least officially. The reason why no IP ratings (certifying water and dust resistance) are given for the iPads is that the devices are not IP-rated, and make no claims in this area.

They usually discontinue iPods after 5 or 6 years. So they should support it with iOS 15 16 and 17 and maybe IOS 18.
So if you are upgrading from the seventh generation, then your existing case should fit just fine. If your iPad is a sixth-generation 9.7-inch model or earlier, then it definitely will not fit. So, if you are upgrading from the smaller model, then you will need to pick up a new case to keep it protected.
