Last night I told you that the new iPad 3 tablet would not charge while playing games that require a lot of the device's components, in fact some claim that the tablet would also download. I tested the theory last night and fortunately I did not manage to discharge the tablet while it was connected to the outlet with its original charger, but the battery percentage did not increase while I was playing. Even if the result is gratifying, I noticed, again, that the iOS reports the battery status incorrectly and while I was playing, the percentage increased, but when I disconnected and reconnected to the power source, it returned to the initial value. I think that all this discussion about consumption could be negatively influenced by an error in the battery percentage calculation system and I think that the iPad 3 does not charge while you are playing and you have it connected to the outlet.
Even if the tablet does not download, it does not charge either because its internal components consume a lot of energy when we run games or complex applications that use the entire processing power of the device, and this did not happen in the past. The tablet's screen consumes 2.5 times more energy than in the case of the iPad 2, the A5X chip probably has a slightly higher consumption and thus explains the "problem" that some have. A Mac charger could charge the tablet while using games and complex applications, but so far no one has tested this.
