It is apparently impossible to power off an iPad if it's plugged in. This makes me irrationally angry.

I use this iPad for one thing and one thing only: Running "Garmin Pilot" in my cockpit. I was trying to troubleshoot why I keep randomly finding it in my flight bag with the battery drained, despite it always being at or near 100% when I shut down. It turns out that I was "powering it off" with it still connected, then unplugging it and putting it my flight bag while it was in the middle of that reboot loop. So it would power up *and just stay that way* in my flight bag. For days. So now I have to make a conscious effort to unplug it first... wait for an undetermined amount of time, THEN power it off before putting it away. This is dumb.
