I really want to love my iPad Mini, but...

I've had it for ~3 months now, and love the form factor for consuming YouTube/Netflix, news articles, and FaceTiming folks.

But, I've been having some issues:

  1. General slowness/bugginess around the UI sometimes. I wasn't able to simply send a photo on iMessage the other day, the select popup just kept showing up / disappearing.
  2. Battery life. Standby battery life has been awful, and I'm constantly having to plug it in. A 2hr FaceTime took up 46% of my battery life, and 7min of YouTube drains about 10%. Find My + Home & Lock Screen routinely drain the battery, and I've done the normal things like disable background app refresh / turn on auto-lock / etc.

Curious if anyone else has run into these issues + if they've done anything to address them.
