I am sorry to learn that you are experiencing touch screen issues with your fairly recent 2019 iPad Air 3 model.

I believe that your 2019 iPad Air 3 may have contracted an serious, hardware and/or software related, intermittent, unresponsive touch screen issue/problem/bug/flaw.

Per the directions/instructions found in the link above, I STRONGLY suggest/advise you call contact Apple support on this intermittent, unresponsive touch screen issue.



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 4-5 years of iPad Pro models, as well as the new 2019 10.5 inch screen iPad Air 3, which is based from the 2017, 10.5 inch screen iPad Pro models.


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.

Thanks for the reply. I was aware of this issue but my iPads were not affected! It started getting bad yesterday with not being able to click anything on a website I was on. I refreshed the page. I thought it was my wifi (even though I have safari turned on for cellular), so I reset network settings. This site was still dead. So I restarted my iPad and the site perked up. Then last night on here I was typing out a reply and half the letters were missing or spelt wrong, which was darn near impossible to correct. I had to cut short my reply.


My iPad has a tempered glass protective screen on it. I cleaned it with a windex wipe and it’s been better since. Also restarted again. This issue is intermittent. Sometimes it’s hard to do my passcode, I know I punched in 6 digits, but it shows there’s one left to fill in. So I need to delete them in case I do it wrong and disable my iPad! It’s super annoying. I bought the iPad through my phone carrier on a deal last year when I got my new phone. I asked for Apple Care but the Apple care vanished mysteriously. Not sure how that happened. With this COVID thing going on I’m not going out to Apple Stores.


It also sometimes just shuts off when I leave it and I come back to a dead black screen. It has a full charge so it’s not the battery causing that. My iPad Air 2 works better., I left that one on iOS 12.
