Apple has one of the strongest ecosystems with consumer gadgets. The Cupertino giant is all popular amongst the Indian and the global audience with its premium range of iPhones, iPads, MacBook laptops, Apple Watch, and even audio accessories. The Apple iPad tablets are known for offering a premium end-user experience. The iPads have been a preference for users who don’t wish to carry around a bulky notebook yet don’t wish to compromise anyhow with performance.
Apple has been shipping iPads with a powerful set of battery hardware so that the users get a long-lasting backup to complete all tasks. The powerful battery and fast charging hardware also allow the iPads to be the best travel companions. But with time and extensive usage, the battery performance might not be as good as you would generally get with a new iPad.
The fast battery drainage is an issue with not just iPads but also Android tablets and smartphones. In some cases, you might also notice the iPad not charging properly with the charging icon missing as soon as you plug in a charger. There are several ways with which you can improve your iPads battery health and also fix no charging issues without paying a visit to the service center directly. If you are also experiencing frequent issues with iPad charging, then this article will be your guide to fix it:
Check The Accessories: Only Supported Charging Accessories Should Be Used With iPads
Step 1: Do check the charging accessories including the power brick or the charging cable. It should be the genuine accessories that Apple ships for its iPads. It is preferred that you use the charging cable as well as the adapter that ships with the retail box of your iPad or is purchased from authorized service centers.
Step 2: Connect the USB power adapter to your iPad.
Step 3: Complete the connection by pairing the cable with a USB Power adapter that is plugged into the wall outlet (make sure it’s working).
Step 4: If in case the iPad isn’t getting charged using the USB power adapter, try connecting it to the laptop or computer’s USB port. It should be a USB 2.0 or above port. Also, the laptop should not be in sleep mode. If your tablet starts charging, this is a sign you need to replace the power adapter.
Step 4: You can also check the iPad charging using another Apple-certified accessory including a USB hub.
Try Force Start And Other Methods To Check iPad Charging
Step 1: If you already have tried changing the power adapter and the USB cable and still have no results, you can perform a hard reset or force restart your iPad.
Step 2: Before you proceed with the force restart, you need to make sure your iPad’s temperatures are stable. Only if the device isn’t super hot or cold then only go ahead with the restart method.
Step 3: If your iPad doesn’t feature a Home button then first press and instantly release the volume key closest to the top button and then press and release the second volume button.
Step 4: Press and hold the top button. Do this until the iPad reboots.
Step 5: If you own an iPad with the Home button, you would need to press and hold the top or side button and simultaneously press the Home button. Release the keys once the Apple logo shows up on your screen.
Do note that these steps will only resolve issues with the charging when there is no major damage to the circuitry or the charging system on a hardware level. If for some reason your iPad still won’t charge after performing the aforementioned steps, you would need to contact Apple support.
The Apple iPad series is widely popular for its high-end performance and the wide array of user-friendly features. At its WWDC 2022 event, Apple unveiled the new-generation iPad OS 16 with a slew of new upgrades. The brand has also improved privacy with the new iPad OS. The previous-gen iPad OS has also offered a secure ecosystem for the users in terms of privacy. Setting up a passcode is one of the key security features offered by the iPad OS.
Bypassing this passcode feature on any iPad model isn’t an easy task for any unauthorized user that gets access to your tablet without permission. The iPad will get disabled if multiple failed login attempts are made to unlock it. But that can also happen if you have forgotten what passcode you set last and can’t log in to your iPad despite multiple attempts.
Well, resting the iPad passcode is the only option that you are left with in such scenarios. If you aren’t aware of the procedure, we have brought you the solution. But before you attempt to reset your Apple iPad’s passcode, you should be aware that the data stored will be lost. You would need a laptop or computer handy to initiate the process of passcode reset with iPad. If you have previously created a data backup, you will be able to restore the data post the passcode reset process. Now, let’s look at the steps:
How To Reset Passcode On Any iPad in 2022
You would first need to power off your iPad so that you can enter the recovery mode on your iPad. To power off the iPad follow the steps below:
Step 1: Make sure your iPad isn’t connected to any computer or laptop. Unplug it if it’s connected.
Step 2: If you have an iPad model with a Home button then press and hold one of the volume buttons along with the top button simultaneously. Leave the keys once the power off slider pops up on the screen.
Step 3: Power off your iPad using the slider. Don’t proceed to the next steps until one minute. That’ll make sure your iPad has switched off completely.
Using The Recovery Mode On iPads
Step 1: You need to immediately press and hold the correct Home button while connecting the iPad to the computer and laptop. For the models that don’t have the Home button, they need to use the top button.
Step 2: Don’t release the key until the recovery mode shows up on the screen.
Step 3: Now, once the passcode screen shows up, power off your iPad to reboot.
Complete The Reset iPad Passcode Using Computer
Step 1: On your PC or laptop, locate the connected iPad in iTunes or the Finder.
Step 2: You will get two options Restore or Update. Select the former if you wish to restore the iPad and the latter if you want the update.
Step 3: Wait until the entire process is complete and the iPad exits out of the recovery mode screen. Reboot your iPad and you are all set.

Design And Display
The Motorola Tab G70 LTE is a well-built tablet. It looks more stylish than any other tablet at this price. The metal half has a decent satin green finish while the plastic half has a matte texture. It has narrow bezels. Motorola has put the front camera at the center of the side bezel, which in the landscape layout imparts a laptop webcam-like effect.
The display of the Motorola Tab G70 LTE is 11-inch which is perfect for viewing content. It uses an IPS LCD panel with a 2K pixel resolution and rated brightness levels up to 400 nits. The display is certified for Amazon Prime HD and Netflix HD content. However, the refresh rate remains at the usual 60Hz.

The Gorilla Glass 3 cover over the display does not attract fingerprints easily. It has a 10.95-inch WQHD+ (1,600 x 2,560 pixel) LCD display along with 120Hz display.
Processor
Motorola is using the MediaTek Helio G90T from 2018 to power the tablet. It has 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of uMCP storage. The tablet comes pre-installed with Android 11 and can be upgraded to Android 12. Though, there aren’t any productivity-enhancing features like a sidebar for quick access to apps, numerous floating windows, smarter widgets, or similar touches.
Moving to the Lenovo Tab P11, the tablet uses the Snapdragon 662 CPU under the hood. It includes 128GB of storage and 4GB of RAM. The Android 11 OS on the Tab P11 has been modified with a few enhancements to increase productivity.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC powers the Xiaomi Pad 5 tablet. It has 6GB of RAM. The Xiaomi tablet further runs ‘MIUI for Pad’ which is a customized version of MIUI 13.0.5 based on Android 11.
Camera
The Motorola Tab G70 LTE tablet comes with a 13MP rear camera. It also has an 8MP front camera with a dual-mic configuration that works well during video calls.
On the other hand, the Lenovo Tab P11 has a 13MP of rear camera and is decent enough to take a few photos in well-lit areas. For video calls, the front-facing 8MP camera is adequate.
Both the rear and front cameras on the Xiaomi Pad 5 are 13MP and 8MP respectively. It produces a decent image quality which is a lot better than what you can expect from a tablet.
Battery
The Motorola Tab G70 LTE’s battery life is great without LTE and decent with a SIM card inside. The 7,700mAh battery with generic usage, including 1-2 hours of gaming, and 2-3 hours of social media browsing on Wi-Fi can go up to two days with ease. The 20W TurboPower charger that Motorola includes in the box takes hours to charge.
On the other hand, the Lenovo Tab P11 has a 7,700mAh battery capacity. It has a great battery life for streaming hours of content and can also be recharged quite quickly. Moving to the Xiaomi Pad 5, the 8,720mAh battery can last for a day and a half.
Verdict
In terms of specifications, all three tablets have got it all right for their price segment. They have got a good display, decent performance, and a pretty design. The Lenovo Tab P11 is an affordable Android tablet with an official keyboard. Besides, Xiaomi Pad 5 is built with productivity in mind, which is not commonly found at this price point. However, it lacks 4G/5G cellular capability and is only available as a Wi-Fi model. In our opinion, the Motorola Tab G70 LTE is a good choice to go for under Rs. 25,000.
