2018 iPad Pro trouble typing in landscape

2018 iPad Pro touch screen seems to be unresponsive at times. I did a shut down and is a little better, but sometimes I have to press keyboard keys on touchscreen multiple times.

Unfortunately, you are very likely one of many people suffering from an issue that is causing iPad Pro models to periodically “freeze” and become unresponsive to touch-screen input. There are many reports of this issue occurring throughout this discussion forum.


iPad Pro’s of various models, including the latest generation of 2018 11” and 12.9”, are suffering this issue; the problem is reported to affect at least iOS 11 and iOS 12.


For insight, here are just some of the recent discussions on this subject:

Whilst there are many theories as to the cause (including those from regular contributors who are fortunate to have no direct experience of the issue), at present, there is no known definitive cure for this problem. Those that are affected remain hopeful that Apple will eventually acknowledge and resolve this issue.
