iPad Pro touch screen intermittent unresponsive

Just arranged for my second replacement of an iPad Pro 10.5 under Apple Care due to this issue. Each tablet lasted about 9-10 months before becoming unusable. Each tablet also was trouble free for about 3-4 months before the problem was first encountered.

I hadn’t often bought the warranty on previous devices, but this time I did. Must have had a feeling.

looks like Pro 2020 have the same problem :-(

I'm tired of this lottery. i have my third iPad in the last year and a half even though I've been using iPads since the iPad 2 and never had any problems with any model until I bought the Pro last year.

now I am thinking about buying Air 2020, but there is no certainty that this problem is solved there.

another very strange thing is the fact that for example, I had a problem on two different models for a year. and someone allegedly never had this problem. and I'm not the only one on this forum who had the problem again after getting a new replacement device. it is very strange that someone has the problem repeated on all devices, but someone has never had it. the probability of such a situation is very small.

Amen zsully007!

I've been saying this about Apple for years. They intentionally sabotage iPhones so batteries no longer work. I had an AppleTV that they rendered worthless when they pushed an update out to the box, and then had the nerve to tell me that I could resolve it by purchasing a newer box. I resolved it by purchasing an alternate product. And I have had this unresponsiveness issue with my iPad Pro for over a year. But there is never anything wrong with it when hey run their diagnostics. The callas and irresponsibility of Apple to continue to produce products that have known defects is amazing. I have already committed to replacing my products with non-Apple products as the current product die. The lack of responsiveness, the poor customer service, the blatant lies the "support" engineers tell you, and the general irresponsibility of leadership has turned me into a non-Apple consumer going forward.

Did Apple deliberately break the Ipad Pro and hid this Touch Accommodation setting so people would think that their old Ipad Pros already needs to be replaced with the newest model? He’ll i only use my Ipad Pro for Youtube and i’m already having problems swiping the screen because it wouldn’t respond... Touch Accomodation kinda fix the not responding to swipe issue... However, there is this random lag that’s happening, not sure if it’s a gonna stay or get worse... FYI Apple? Don’t make ur users look dumb, be fair and let us enjoy our gadgets until it’s really time to replace them. This is the reason why i’m scared to update...

Removing a tablet case and managing tablet heating issues is an indication of a hardware problem/issue.

Hardware overheats, not software.

As I have stated in the past, this issue may well be a combination of both software ( iOS/iPadOS ) and actual hardware issues with a continued growing minority of older iPad Pro and the last iPad Air 3 models.

I have been the gammet! Apple says it is a hardware problem with the iPad Pro 10.5. It works fine for the first 16 months then starts missing keys and becomes worse and gets to the place where you want to replace it. It ticks me off that they take this attitude. I this it was made this way on purpose. There are a few things I have tried that help for a day or two and that’s it.

iPad Pro (2nd gen), iOS 12.2, and issue is still there. Apple hasn’t fixed it yet.

I find that if I'm at all touching the glass on the edges I have this problem.

A snap on case helps a bit, but generally I've stopped using the ipad pro and regret buying it.

Actually a Bluetooth Keyboard would make touch pretty much not necessary. With mouse support coming in Accessibility in the fall, one might not need to hardly ever touch their iPad screen.

I feel like this related to static charge. Usually I restart my iPad Pro 11 and it is fixed temporarily.

Thats strange because the 100+ people ive shared this with have all had success.

Did you restart the device after disabling tap to wake? That is essential.

Taking my iPad out of the magnetic case fixed the problem for me but wait for Apple to sort it properly

barry

And after using it for a few hours post tap to wake being turned off it's back. Guess I should try and exchange for a replacement.

Did this screen return to normal for ANY length of time?

This still maybe a gyroscope issue if the screen froze when you moved the iPad.

The screen orientation tweak is working for me. 👍🤞
