There was a bit of a commotion recently after a researcher discovered that the new iPad continues to draw power as though it's charging, even after reporting a full battery. Immediately, the assumption was made that the iPad was still charging, and lying about being at full capacity. Apple has responded to this, to clear things up for people. Apparently, the iPad, like all iOS devices goes though a phase of charging after reaching 100%. Basically, after reaching 100%, it will go though a conditioning cycle. The battery will discharge slightly, and then recharge. This is similar to the charging advice given for laptop batteries, and is good for a long lasting battery. This amount is so small that the iOS device still reports 100%. Once the conditioning cycle has finished, it goes back to the normal trickle charge cycle, which keeps the device at 100% using minimal power.
