iPad Air 3 touch screen not working properly

I have been having problems with the touchscreen on my iPad. It doesn’t always respond to the touch or may not respond correctly to things like dragging. It also is not always responsive to the on screen keyboard. I frequently have to tap a key several times for it to register. In addition I have had a few incidents of the wrong letter - one that is not adjacent to the key being pressed. It also sometimes -actually frequently - will sound the key click without producing a letter.


I had it to the Genius Bar once for this problem and it was fixed by erasing and restoring, and I did that today, but no joy.

iPad Air, iOS 13

This is a well known issue here in these iPad support communities.

This intermittent, unresponsive touch screen issue affects a continuing, growing minority of iPad Pro users/models across all 4 years of iPad Pro models, as well as the new 2019 10.5 inch screen iPad Air 3.

Still not determined if this is a hardware/software issue, or both!

Take a look at these long standing, longer posts on the subject of this intermittent, unresponsive touch screen

issue, below.


There is STILL no “official” confirmed iOS updates, solutions/fixes, from Apple, after nearly 18 months, now!

None.


That is because this issue is either STILL only affecting a growing, but still very small minority of iPad Pro users OR iPad Pro users are simply NOT reporting this issue enough here in these official Apple iPad support communities OR simply NOT posting enough feedback to Apple about this intermittent, unresponsive iPad Pro touch screen issue to alert the proper responsible and cognizant Apple employees and teams and get them working on this iPad Pro touch screen problem.

The best you can do is to continue to alert Apple to this growing issue and hammer the Apple iPad feedback pages mutiple times on this issue.


The only way to get Apple to, DIRECTLY, listen to you is to use their feedback portion of their website.


iPad Feedback

Cognizant Apple employees read ALL feedback generated from all of the various feedback pages and transfers the data to the proper and responsible Apple teams and personnel , but NO Apple employees will ever respond with any type of direct, individual replies from the feedback you post.

You can post as much multiple feedback about this issue any time.

The more users that post product feedback about any product issue, the faster Apple is made aware or continues to be made aware and starts/continues working on a fix/solution for a future software update.


As I stated, this intermittent, unresponsive iPad Pro touch screen issue has plagued a small, but growing minority of iPad Pro users across all 4 years of iPad Pro models for just about 18 months, now!


Also, I suggest contacting/reaching out to Apple Product support and services.
