Earlier this week, Apple launched its first iPadOS 17.5 Beta for developers. This new software update has several references that hint at Apple's plans to extend the iPhone's Battery Health menu to the upcoming iPad models.
iPad How to Check Battery Health!
MacRumors contributors Steve Moser and Aaron Perris dug deep into the iPadOS 17.5 code and discovered several new references to a Battery Health menu on the iPad. This menu in the iPad's Settings app is expected to show the battery capacity and cycle count.
Right now, these battery stats are exclusive to iPhones. For years, you could easily check the battery status on an iPad or Mac, but there's no direct way to do it on an iPad. You have to follow a complex, lengthy workaround to get to these numbers or use a shortcut to check the battery status of an iPad.
Speaking of Cycle Count, it is currently exclusive to iPhone 15 models. It's a useful feature that shows additional details about battery health. Based on the references from the iPadOS 17.5 codes, it seems that Apple is preparing to extend these useful features to future iPad models.
