Thanks and Hi giradman. This Mini was bought new at the Apple Store and is about 8 months old now. No, the problem started well before that update. I guess it's possible that the battery was a dud to start with? As I watch my settings screen, doing nothing on the iPad the battery goes down slowly but steadily. Is something running all the time maybe?Hi Doris - please provide some more information - the iPad Mini 2 was first released in November 2013 - you have owned yours for less than a year - is this an older/refurbished device or did you buy 'new' from Apple or another Apple provider? Just trying to determine if this might be a 3 year old vs. a 1 year old battery which would impact on the advice given. Also, tell us if the Mini 2 is under warranty and whether the problem started w/ an iOS update/upgrade (e.g. going recently to 10.0.1)? Dave
Yes, I agree Dave, but we are in Canada and won't be back in Az till Nov. I def will take it in, but was hoping to 'fix" the problem in the meantime.Well, you're still under warranty - I would suggest making an appointment at the Apple Store w/ the 'Genius Bar', and let them run some diagnostics on the battery - good luck and let us know - that battery if indeed < 1 year old should be still in great shape. Dave
Yes, I will, but we won't be back in Az till Nov. Had
Take it to an Apple Store here in Canada, they will likely be able to help to here without having to wait until you return to Arizona.
As suggested by Jupiter7, are you near a city in Canada that his an Apple Store - an option? Do you have Apple's standard warranty or did you add AppleCare? Regardless, you should still be under warranty when returning to Arizona - correct?
