iPad Pro battery life

My iPad Pro 11 inch (2 days old) seems to have a very short battery life? For example I have been using adobe photoshop sketch and that app alone used 37% battery in 40 minutes? This seems very far off the 10+ hours advertised?

Not all applications will provide the same power consumption as advertised. At least for the current version the claim is up to 10 hours on the web (with Wi-Fi), watching video, or listening to music. There are other things that affect power consumption, with display brightness being the biggest.


Some applications are simply power hungry, although many have peak power demands.
