Or at least, as long as you enjoy a mattress or car. Of course, this is simply not the case–iPads and iPhones begin to wear down after a few short years. Analysts say that iPad are good for about 4 years and three months, on average.
Almost 7 years! And it's likely every iPad that follows will be supported for at least 6 or 7 years now too. So that means if you buy a new iPad today, in 2021, it should at least continue getting software updates until 2027. That's pretty cool.
Every iPad is rated for roughly 10 hours of battery life while browsing the web, checking email, and chatting. But if you've just set up a new one, especially if you restored it from a previous device backup or you've just installed iPadOS 15, you might see more drain on your battery than you'd otherwise expect.
The Apple spec says battery life is up to 10 hours. There are too many variables of use to state an exact life. There's really no reason to run on full brightness, since it reduces battery life. The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter.
The 8th-generation iPad features an Apple A12 Bionic processor with Neural Engine, 3 GB of RAM, and a 10.2" Retina display. It also features a Smart Connector on the side that allows it to use the Smart Keyboard for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro (2nd generation) and iPad Air (3rd generation).
