While the first copy of the New iPad just arrived in the drafting of various journals, our colleagues Mac4Ever have had the good idea to test the performance of the new battery this iPad. If Apple has doubled the capacity of batteries Slate (25 watt / hour to 42.5 watt / hour) because of the new screen Retina energy intensive, autonomy in use "classic" (consulting web, mail, etc..) remains unchanged with respect to the iPad 2 in terms of charging time for con.
