Inconsistent friction on iPad screen using Apple pencil

To better clean the finger and hand oils off of your entire iPad’s screen, use a very warm and very wrung out, damp dry microfibre cloth to wipe the entire screen ( might have to do this twice as the cool glass cools down the microfibre cloth ) followed by a dry wipe down with a dry microfibre cloth.

I am having exactly the same issue. There is a fundamental flaw in the new iPad Pro that no one seems to be talking about broadly. Anyone that uses their iPad for drawing or illustrating will very quickly notice that it feels like there are bumps or lags in certain areas of the screen. With my previous iPad Pro 2018, the pencil glides over the screen seamlessly.

We just returned our new iPad, only to be given a new one to try out, and it has the exact same problem. It's a true shame that this hasn't been addressed, because it's only a matter of time before more people notice. We are now returning the second new iPad and pencil, and will go back to using our 2018 iPad Pro, which works smoothly, and will wait it out until the new iPad comes out to see if they have fixed the issue.

I should note that anyone advising on cleaning the screen may not have felt this issue themselves. These are brand new iPads straight out of the pack, perfectly clean, having some clear tracking issues. We tried other iPads in store as well, and they seem to have the same issue. Maybe there are a few bad batches out there?

Probably inconsistent application on the screen's oleophobic coating.

Hello,

Do you use a screen protector on your iPad?
