References to iPad Battery Capacity and Cycle Count Menu Found in iPadOS 17.5 Beta

References to a new iPad battery capacity and cycle count menu have been found in iPadOS 17.5 beta, according to MacRumors.

Contributors Steve Moser and Aaron Perris have both found strings that indicate the iPhone's Battery Health menu could arrive for upcoming iPad models.

Strings added include:


● "iPad must be regularly used while not connected to power to show maximum capacity."

● "This is the number of times iPad has used your battery's capacity."

● "The iPad battery is performing as expected."

● "iPad batteries, like all rechargeable batteries, have a limited lifespan and may eventually need to be serviced or replaced."


● "The original battery was designed to retain X capacity at X cycles under ideal conditions. Actual battery performance depends on a number of variables, including how iPad is used and charged regularly. The one-year warranty includes service for defective batteries in addition to rights provided under local consumer laws."

Notably, the Battery Health menu is not present in the first beta of iPadOS 17.5, suggesting that it could be limited to the next generation iPad Pro and iPad Air models expected next month. Alternatively, we could see the menu appear in a subsequent beta.
