Isn’t it funny iPad users who spent tons of money are denied the feedback on battery health iPhone users have? Why is that?

When I click on that on the expensive iPhone I bought I get instant
feedback. But the expensive iPad I bought lacks such feedback because piece of shit Tim Cook denied that info to me. I spend money but scumbags like nospam and Jolly Roger deny me needing access to crucial info because they know better than I what I should have access to. Fuck Tim Cook, nospam, and Jolly Roger.

have a battery health indicator ipadOS like there is for iphones in
iOS? Even Macs have that information. So ipads are explicitly
excluded.

LOL, that was a stock answer from one of our favorite trolls.
Except of
course it is needed and people do want it!
The fact that there's a jailbreak tweak for iPadOS in order to get that capability is sufficient evidence that a significant number of people do
want it,
How else is an iPad users going to know whether or not a problem with
battery life is an actual battery problem, or some other issue?
OTOH, it could be a marketing decision to not include it, in the belief
that an iPad owner that is experiencing reduced operating time will buy
a new iPad, unaware that a battery replacement will solve the issue.

What's even funnier is that the rest of us have been using iPads for
years and years without needing feedback on our battery health. You come across as extremely neurotic and needy. You should probably get a hobby.

My older iPad is shutting down a lot when it's cold inside the house.
I could use an easy battery health feedback on the iPad
Mine says it's 0% when it's cold inside the house.
When I warm it up, it says 100%.
It's old but I would still like to know the battery health status.

But understand that the way that iOS determines battery health includes
the hardware measuring the impedance of the battery.
As the impedance
goes up battery life decreases. There is no way that an app can
duplicate this.

On the bottom was a "System" selection for a "System Monitor" which has a "Battery" section saying the "Battery Capacity" is 8612mAh and the "Battery Voltage" is 3.77V and the "Battery Status" is Fully Charged and the
"Battery Level" is 100% but that's all it tells me. No impedences listed.

there are aftermarket load and conductance testers that measure the

they end up doing is going to a repair shop or an auto parts store, the latter of which will run a test for free and then try to sell you a new battery, but at least you can see the numbers.

I think what he was saying is that he can get battery information on the
iPad using an app or program but to get the kind of impedance based battery health status that the iPhone gets, there's no way for the iPad to get it.
Even with an iOS app or pc or mac program.
Is that right?
If so, the best I can do is use the iOS apps or pc program but before I install them, it would be best to know the answer to that question of what I'm getting in terms of accurate useful information compared to iPhones.

At first I thought that perhaps that the iPad lacks the necessary
hardware to measure the battery impedance.
Then I saw that there's a
jailbreak tweak for the iPad that adds Battery Health. I suppose that
it's possible that that tweak doesn't include measuring the impedance of
the battery and only looks at factors like the number of
charge/discharge cycles and the time since the device was first used.
There could also be factors related to sales and marketing
considerations. If the owner was aware that the reason for performance
and runtime could be the battery then they might be more likely to opt
for battery replacement than buying a new iPad.

I never understood why Apple did this. Same for its missing weather iOS app in iPads.
At first I thought that perhaps that the iPad lacks the necessary
hardware to measure the battery impedance. Then I saw that there's a jailbreak tweak for the iPad that adds Battery Health. I suppose that

More perverse is the lack of the Apple calculator app.
Why would anyone want to do calculations on an iPad?

Why not? People with bad eyes like elders. Also, iPads can do fancy calculators.

Strange, but there are calculator apps available.
