A good example for the iPad/Nexus 7 comparison would be that the battery life comparisons are done at 'maximum brightness'. But the iPad is much brighter than the Nexus 7. A comparison done at
equal brightnesses would show much longer iPad battery life, as the brightness would be less than the maximum used for the battery life tests.
Also, the battery life chart shows only the iPad 1 and 2, not the iPad 3 that the poster was actually talking about.
This site:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7...nexus-vs-ipad/
measured iPad 3 battery performance as greater. Other sites might measure the reverse, depending on the exact test setup.
Certainly not something that should cause people to insinuate that other posters are liars.
