M2 turn off?
This, you would think is the simplest question. Yet, the info is weird. If you push the button on the short side it goes black. Is this not off?
Every video shows the power down using two buttons and the screen slider. Can I not just push the short side button, or will that continue to drain the battery (I always shut down the open apps before shutting down with one button). I do find a bit of battery drain the next day..
What do you do?

I go to settings. Scroll down. Press shut down. Ipad 9.
Iv just recently found that even if shut down. Removing or adding the power cable turns ipad back on. Where its then maybe just in sleep mode. Where pressing the circle button will then make ipad be on ( instead of power button to turn on )
Just because of removing or adding power cable.
Point is.
If you turn on and off at the mains to gauge cycles and wish to gauge power consumption with accurate future estimation.
It seems it will just settle to black screen anyway.
Or you can also just power off. With the different buttons or via settings and perhaps have varied estimates.
Thread is almost a which tarif to choose ( with energy supplier )
If you want to shut it down using the buttons. You hold down the volume down button (the on closest to the corner) and then you press the sleep button (what used to be the power button). This will bring up the shutdown slider. It’s silly and I don’t understand the logic of removing the main ability of what you think would be the power button. I guess they like you to keep those devices running and stay connected.
It takes a little bit to get the feel right and I still end up taking accidental screen shots which I then delete.

@Mountain_Hamlet … so the answer is I was, indeed, turning off my Pro2 with the power button, but on the M2 it is a sleep button that will continue to drain the battery. Is that right?
Un f’ing believable. Now you have to go through this little dance. Truly a love hate relationship with these characters (not to mention the dinky 20w charger and a six inch power chord). I mean, I just laid out a grand (reduced cause it’s “old”) and they can’t provide a decent charger!
lol, I love this thing. (and, damn, it’s fast!)
You were never shutting off any iPad unless you brought up the power off slider and slid it. Unless you did that you were and are just putting the iPad down for a nap. It's still technically alive, checking for emails, texts, updates, whatever. It's still draining a bit of battery.
The only difference is the sequence of actions to get to the power off slider.
I would have thought the only true technical way to turn off most modern devices is to remove the battery or power supply.
@wim, so, you are saying if I don’t power off it is in sleep mode and will have a bit of battery drain like on all my older iPads?
Yes.
For instance, iCloud backup happens when your device is asleep. It doesn't happen if it's powered off. So you could be missing backups if you always power it off.
Live and learn!
So, when I’m sleeping I’m draining my battery and when I’m dead the power is truly off.. except no way to reboot. Seems pretty obvious now.
No way to reboot? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Powering off and then back on is rebooting.
What you say is true for your body though ... unless you believe in an afterlife. 😉
Yeah, thanks that’s what I meant, as in imperfect metaphor. Thx for the guidance, as always.
I prefer to think of the final shutdown as just a required step in The Big Upgrade. 😎
Buh dah daaah daaaaaaaah
Buh dah dot dah dah
I usually turn WiFi off (airplane mode) at the end of day and sleep iPad m2. Wake up and still at 100%.
I like that solution. Much more elegant than a human being holding down two tiny buttons at 1 am and waiting… waiting,,, waiting.
As an alternative to holding down tiny buttons, you can just open Settings. Swipe to the bottom of the General page to find the Shut Down option which goes direct to the "Slide to Power Off" screen.
@uncledave yes, that works for shutting down but you still need to press two buttons to turn it on, correct?
Just as long as you remember your iPad won't back up to iCloud during the night that way.
Why not just leave the thing plugged in at night? I generally run my devices down during the day, then just leave them plugged in at night. tbh though, the battery drain is minimal my iPad can sit for days unused and barely lose 10%.
I think you might be over thinking this thing. 😉
If you continue to switch between iPads you’ll really hate this change. But after learning a couple new
steps you’ll realize that sweeping up from the lower edge “sends you home”. Power off is the next habit to master. I did not know about the settings choice but I never power off my iPad unless I’m taking it somewhere.
I think most believe constant power kills the battery. I don’t believe that’s true. Discuss.
I do turn off the screen to keep my sleeping iPad cooler.
Not sure, but I believe you just hold the Power/Sleep button to turn it on. The trickery with the volume button on shutdown is just to replace the Home button, previously used with the Power button to trigger shutdown.
Correct.
