iPad 3 Battery Life Breakdown & Apples Battery Patent

With all the rumors, patents and superior technology that will find itself tucked into the iPad 3, you’re probably wondering what that means for the battery life.
Since we know that it will be more powerful than the iPad 2, likely incorporating retina display, a faster A6 processor, and other aspects that would seemingly reduce the iPad 3‘s efficiency and life between charges; what can users expect?
Retina display although brighter and crisper than previous low resolution screens, is very easy on battery consumption. It was found to be the most power efficient when compared to the likes of the Motorola Droid, iPhone 3GS and the Google Nexus One.
The iPad 3 will likely be running the A6 processor which is currently rumored to be quad core and would also lead fans to believe that it will be a big drain on the battery. However, the A5 (iPad 2) which is dual-core consumes far less power than the original iPad’s A4; which is a single core processor. The A5 adjusts its clock speed and power consumption according to the applications you are running allowing for better efficiency.
So don’t fret when it comes to upgrading to an A6, because it should be the same if not better in efficiency as the A5.
Battery Design Overhaul & Apple’s Patent
The iPad 2 succeeded in reducing the thickness of the tablet and also incorporates a faster processor, while still being able to retain the current ten hour battery life. Shockingly, Apple was able to reduce the battery in the iPad 2 by 59 percent in comparison to the original iPad.This is exciting news for the iPad 3 and here’s why…Apple has changed up the battery design from two thicker cells to three thinner ones allowing them to flatten out the entire battery which then allowed for a slimmer design in the iPad 2. Apple has also patented a method for including more active material in the actual batteries which will boost their life without increasing the overall size. This new battery structure will see its way into the iPad 3 suggesting slimming and longer battery life capabilities.
Apple knows that in order to slim their tablet, while retaining efficiency that they must invest just as much time in battery research and development as they do in other prominent technology like their displays.
Apple fans should expect to see these much anticipated features while at the minimum retaining the current ten hours of battery life. We’re willing to bet however that they will squeeze even more life out of the new battery design for the iPad 3 when it comes time for its release.
