Tangent, but related; I wish Apple would now stop shaving mm off the iPad's thickness and start improving battery life. It's been officially "up to 10 hours" since 2010 - 14 years.
I think it's the only compute device Apple sell that hasn't increased its Apple-rated battery runtime in the last 14 years.
I had zero complaints frankly about the previous generation M2 iPad Pro's thickness, it was already impressively thin! I'd much, much rather see battery runtime go up at this stage. That 10hrs number falls notably under heavy loads too. More battery is more headroom to run heavy applications or games away from a plug socket.
This advert's focus on thin just further reminds me that Apple have spent over a decade not improving iPad run-time.
