Your iPad battery may last longer if you don't charge it fully

Why would Apple need to worry about the battery degrading 20% in one year? By that time all the diehard Apple enthusiasts will be buying the newest iPad, regardless of it being an advance or not.

A joke, folks. Don't get all knotted up.

First, the battery doesn't charge fully as intended
Second, if you decided to charge fully your battery will start to degrade.
Strange product, for iFan logic

Nothing new here. This is why US military equipment that uses Lion and LiPoly only gets charged to 70%. The charge doesn't last as long but the service life is drastically extended, Of course no consumer product is going to say this because they would have to put in a battery that is 30% larger but only charged to 70%.

Seem to me like Apple is deliberately placing these glitches here and there just so they can "fix" them in the next iOS update so their customers think they "care". Pretty good marketing...

Ifans are getting very afraid these days to charge to ipads because if the faulty charger does actually charge it now they dont know wether to partially charge it or leave it charge for longer than the 100% mark! All the pr guff about the ipads new better battery is hilarious now especially as that battery is overheating to the point of being a portable cooker for camping trips. You gotta laugh at those ifans yet again caught with yet another apple resolutionary faulty product
