IPad Pro 2018 misses certain key presses on the virtual keyboard

Thanks for the update, I'm sure hoping it'll be resolved soon. As soon as it gets fixed in an upcoming beta, I'll know it.

Unfortunately, the "solved" tag is still present on this thread, giving this issue a completely wrong impression.

Unfortunately, once a discussion thread has been marked as “solved” by the author of the original post, whether deliberately or in error, the discussion cannot be “un-solved”.

As you observe, this feature of the Apple Support Community forums can lead to incorrect conclusions being drawn about the status of an issue.

Whilst being delighted to learn of a long awaited potential fix, in this case, I’m not sure that “being patient” is an appropriate adjective to describe Apple’s progress in acknowledging and resolving this long term issue.

This problem has been regularly complained about, within these Community forums, at least since the release of iOS11 - and even more so with iOS12 and snowball effect of increased take-up of similarly afflicted 2018 iPad Pro models. If the fault was only introduced with release of iOS11, the fault has existed (and unacknowledged) for at least 18 months.

However, assuming that whatever has changed within the iOS12.2 Beta makes it through to an eventual release - and efficacy of the fix is widely demonstrated - a great many iPad Pro owners will become much happier!

Hello...I purchased a new 11 Pro in December and at first thought I was just missing keys but as time went on I realized it wasn’t me. I’ve experienced the same issues and the “g” key, like others, is the worst for me...in fact just to type that now took 4 attempts. I get the sound as I click the key yet nothin shows up...see, it just did it in this sentence!

I went to the Apple store today...came home after they suggested complete restore via iTunes and connected to PC or Mac. No restore from previous profile and set up as new device. Figured I could get through the pain of downloading all of my apps if it were to fix the problem.

it didn’t...problem still persists and I have an appointment tomorrow to get it replaced. However I’m a bit skeptical after reading some of these posts as it sounds like this may affect all pro models...can that really be the case? Is getting a replacement going to expose the same issue? Geez...so frustrated as I love this tablet, the pencil and everything about it...except for one silly key press! Or lack there of!

I never use beta software.

I want my iDevices working the best they can, all the time.

That is why my iPad Pro is still running iOS 10.3.3. I have NO touch response issues whatsoever.

And sometimes with Beta iOS releases, each one ends up with its own sets of issues.

In additon, the final, official released iOS 12.2 from Apple will be the test of whether the iPad Pro unresponsive touch issues has been finally fixed, or not.

It is against the Terms of Use here to discuss ongoing iOS beta software development and feature changes/additons/fixes.

This is not the place to discuss iOS Beta software development.

I do appreciate ANY advise or input that could help resolve the issue...personally, as I mentioned I love this thing and would honestly rather find a solution rather than turning it in to get another one that's potentially going to have the same issue. I'm in the process of downloading iOS 12.2 after enrolling for the beta. I realize the consequences as well but I do have confidence that life will go on one way or another. Thank you all for the assistance and I'll post back as to if this worked for me or any additional issues I may be having...iPad related because the other list could be quite extensive!

Hello Everyone...while I realize posting on beta software isn't appropriate I must say that upon installing 12.2 the issue does appear to disappear. I have not done extensive testing yet but from the brief time I've spent typing several emails and messages I'm extremely pleased. I'll be anxious once the formal release comes out and at this point will be cancelling my appointment this afternoon to replace.

Run iOS beta software on your brand new and very expensive iPad Pro at your own risk and peril to your iPad.

Personally, I would not do this with a new and expensive device that I use everyday to work on client and personal projects.

Also, realise once you have done this, you can no longer participate here with questions about the iOS Beta 12.2.

You will have to rely on the public beta developer community instead to ask questions and solve issues.

You will be effectively done here until Apple “officially” releases iOS 12.2 to the general public, which may or may not be by the end of this month.

Best of Luck to You!

Unfortunately, to some extent, this issue appears to affect all models of iPad Pro...

iOS Public Beta 12.2 fixes it for me :-)

Have you tried iOS 12.2 beta? For me the issue went away completely with iOS 12.2 public beta 1.

Hope this will solve it for you, too!

best regards
