iPad Pro 9.7 Issues after upgrading to iPadOS

Hi all,

So this is a last resort before I use my iPad Pro as a frisbee and throw it out my window. Im hoping someone can offer some insight into this issue.

I was a participant in the Beta Software Program and downloaded iPadOS on my iPad Pro 9.7 however I found that Safari was not functioning correctly and was constantly pixelated. I restored my iPad to iOS 12.?? (whatever it was at the time) and the safari issue was resolved.

I thought that it was just a bug in the beta software however once the software moved from beta testing to being released my iPad did the auto update thing and surprise surprise the safari issue is back again.

I had apple support via chat run diagnostics etc however could not find what was causing the issue. The decision was made to travel the 1.5hrs from Regional Victoria (Australia) into the closest Apple store to have them run the same diagnostics which came back saying that the iPad is functioning as it should and was told "the graphics card is gone in it" however it only effects Safari (any web browser actually). Every other app, video, etc displayed perfectly fine. (Forgive me if I'm wrong however I would have thought if 'the graphics card is gone' then I wouldn't be able to watch videos, use other apps etc??)

I asked the person at the apple store if my iPad could be downgraded back to iOS 12 and was told no sorry and that she would be happy to dispose of my iPad Pro as it is not repairable which I declined her very polite offer as I don't believe its a hardware issue.

I guess I just wanted to see if anyone else has had the same/similar issue with the iPad Pro 9.7? or even the same sort of experience with the 'genius' at an apple store?

thanks

Ben
