Before opting for battery replacement, try extending your iPad Mini battery life with these power troubleshooting tips.
Enable Low Power Mode when you’re on to go and don’t have access to a charge. Low Power Mode is Apple’s battery-saving feature that helps you to reduce the amount of battery you consume by limiting the capabilities of some of your iPad’s apps and features. This mode will remain on until you’re able to charge the iPad Mini to 80% or turn the tablet off entirely.
Apple rolled out an amazing Battery Health several years ago to help users understand batteries’ health inside their Apple devices’. If a battery requires replacement, Battery Health will show a notification saying it’s time for service. Check your iPad Mini battery health by going to Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
Another way to save battery life is by analyzing your app usage and determining which apps are draining the most battery. Apple makes it simple to assess battery usage by day when you navigate to Settings > Battery. If any apps stick out to you as using a significant amount of battery, begin monitoring your time on that app or disable location services for that app. Also, ensure you’re force closing all apps when not used to avoid background activity that may also lead to battery loss.
When you require iPad Mini battery replacement, you have many options, including DIY repair, Apple Care, or local repair services.

An iPad Mini is a big investment, whether it’s for yourself or your whole family. To get the most out of that investment, it’s important to avoid having to fix a broken screen or any other part of the device. Here are two ways to protect your current or newly repaired iPad Mini screen:
You’ve probably seen someone on the bus or at work with something that looks a little like a leather notebook until they open it and reveal a tablet inside. That’s a device case, specifically designed to house, transport, and protect the electronic within. When closed, nothing can scratch the surface (or screen). A device in a case has a better chance of surviving a fall undamaged, being spilled on, etc. It’s the first and best line of defense for an iPad Mini.
The second line of defense is screen-specific. A tempered glass screen adds an extra layer to the most sensitive part of the iPad Mini. It reduces scratches, dings, and even helps prevent more serious fracturing. In addition, some screen protectors can help shed water or reduce sun glare as well, thus enhancing your device.
If you’ve already broken the screen of your iPad Mini, you need fast and reliable repair. That’s where Cell Phone Repair comes in. There are other service options, but none are as fast and reliable as CPR. The service and any replacement parts are even guaranteed with a limited lifetime warranty.
That way, you can have peace of mind that your new iPad screen will last. You can even purchase an iPad Mini case or screen protector in a CPR store to further ensure that your device will continue giving you hours of entertainment and use in the future. Stop by a CPR location today!
