iPad Pro touch screen intermittent unresponsive

I’m not sure but i think this problem happened for about 90 percent of iPad Pros because i saw many posts in this thread and other threads that people said that Apple changed their iPad Pros for 3 or 4 times and always the issue happened after a short period of time

No.

Not true.

You are talking about millions of iPad Pro models sold over three years!

There is NO where, NO WHERE where there are millions of iPad Pro user posting of this unresponsive issue.

If this unresponsive touch screen issue was sooooo widespread, the tech and TV media would have been ALL OVER THIS by now and Apple would have had to come up with some sort of fix for this long, ago.

Even if this has affected 100,000 iPad Pro models, this is still anywhere from 5%-10% of affected users.

A small minority of affected iPad Pro models.

I do not think this affects anywhere near 100,000 users.

Maybe, MAYBE, 10,000 to 20,000 users, or so.

An even a smaller minority group of affected users!

Don't be ridiculous.

Updated to 12.4.1 the other week. Switched iPad off and back on again. Truthfully, turning off ‘tap to wake’ has been working fine for me and continues to work even after the latest update. I don’t miss that function at all now.

Because it is a random and completely unpredictable bug/issue, as I already stated to you, earlier!

There is NO pattern to those iPad Pros already affected.

No causation as to what causes this issue.

NONE.

I do not want my iPad Pro to become one of this minority group.

i am not arguing with you on this.

Actually, for the past couple of weeks, there have been NO new postings of this iPad Pro unresponsive touch screen issues.

Believe what you will.

Do what you will.

I am done.

FYI, not that you need to know, but the new iPadOS is too radical an improvement on iOS to NOT upgrade to, so as soon as the iPadOS download/install frenzy is over after the first few weeks, my iPad Pro WILL BE getting and running the new iPadOS.

I will use iTunes on my Mac, as I always do, and will just have to take the risk, take a leap of faith and hope for a successful iOS upgrade outcome.

Older iPad Pros that use the older Home button design, do not have this temporary fix option, like the 2018, 3rd gen iPad Pros do.

There is no temporary fix for any of the older iPad Pro models.

None.

Look my friend

i’m not your enemy and i’m Sorry if i made you sad or angry

but respectfully I think that the problem happened more than what you think but I don’t know why the Apple don’t do anything to fix this issue

At the end , thank you for spending your time to talk with me 😊🙏

90? Not even close. This forum is the most widely visited iPad forum in the world. The amount of people coming here is statistically insignificant in comparison to the number of iPad being used around the world every day.

I have two iPad Pro 11's neither of which have any touch issues. If this affected 90% of all iPad Pro owners, this thread would be so replied to, by so many people, but it's not really. And that's because the vast majority of iPad Pro users don't have an issue and have no need to come here to tell us they are having a great time with their iPad.

Thanx for coming to the rescue.

I have no idea why users that sign up here with any Apple product issues happening to them, to be a serious issue and then continue to claim that it is affecting MILLIONS!

It is just ridiculous.

Thanks, again for chiming in.

👍

You're welcome. What I have a true disdain is absurd irrationality and making statements as fact, with zero statistics to back up their claim. But after all these years, how many times have we seen someone who has a problem, thus EVERYONE must have that problem!

I am also using the iPad Pro 10.5 inch for the last 5 months and I notice it very frequently while playing games..

I use four fingers while playing and some times not all fingers are registered and this happens very randomly but when this does it doesn’t go away until I restart the iPad completely.

very annoying and couldn’t find any fix for it

So, now iPadOS 13 is out, I can speak about it 😉

Well... No improvement, so sad 😢

Actually, fun fact, after updating to iPadOS 13.1, arrived on my passcode screen, my iPad froze... So I knew strait away!

I will continue looking for a solution. My major worry is, how can I sell my iPad Pro, worth 700$, to anyone, with this issue?! The guy will send it back to me after a few days. So I am stuck with an unreliable expensive device.

Look,

Not every iPad Pro has this issue.

iPads are coming down with this issue at random and unpredictability with no pattern/s of obvious reasons of causality.

Every iPad Pro user affected uses their iPad Pros differently.

I am wondering now if this issue is just not ONLY an iOS 12 issue, but an iOS issue caused by a certain combination of 3rd party apps common to every iPad Pro user affected by this issue.

That would explain why this only affects a small minority of iPad Pro users and NOT every single iPad Pro model sold to date.

If there was an obvious fix, I have to believe Apple would have found a fix/solution for this issue, by now.

At this time it is what it is.

If your iPad Pro is one of tbe 2018 models, have you tried toggling OFF the Tap to Wake feature in the Settings app, under General, Accessibility?

Thanks for you reply MichelPM,

My iPad Pro is a 2017 and I reinstalled fully the OS 4 weeks ago and used it as “new” (in case the issue was in the iCloud backup). And I had freezes on it very short after, with NO app installed.

I understand your reasoning because I had the same, but unfortunately it is not a combinaison of 3rd party app

It depends on how you updated your ipad

this is my experience , at first hours of releasing a new version of ios , if you update your device on itself sometimes have many problems because of busy servers

then you should update with your PC’s iTunes or wait for about 12 to 24 hours

but I guess that the problem persists on ipadOS too

unfortunately Apple isn’t as good as before in these years 😔

i was an Apple’s fan but this issue made me really disappointed 😑

I'm not sure I agree with the assessment that updating over the air when an update is released causes issues. I haven't done an iOS update via iTunes in years now and I typically update when the release is first put out and have yet to EVER experience any issues doing so.
