iPad Air conquers all in tablet battery test with 11-13 hour showing
// 9to5Mac

Apple boasted about maintaining its 10-hour iPad battery-life in the new iPad Air despite an overall thinner and faster design, but how does it compare to other tablets? Most reviews had good things to say about battery life (many even experiencing more than 10 hours), but it's interesting to see how the device stacks up against the rest of the tablet market. While battery life largely depends on how you're using your iPad, an extensive test from Which? shows that iPad Air comes out on top in just about any case and significantly beats out much of the competition.

The iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display and iPad 2 all performed better than the Android alternatives for web browsing. On a full tank, Apple's iPad Air will last for 658 minutes of web-browsing – beating the 483 minutes offered by the longest-lasting Android tablet we tested, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 edition). Likewise, the iPad mini with Retina display features an impressive 614 minutes of internet usage, while Apple's three year old iPad 2 managed a sterling 590 minutes.

The graphic above pretty much speaks for itself, but you can read more about the test on Which.
