ios14 is a disaster

immediately after installing ios 14 on my ipad air 6th generation, the ipad immediately began turning itself on and off quickly then freezing the screen. I have to reset (reboot) it every time.


the ipad is also very hot for the first time and it won’t charge to 100% even sitting plugged for 24 hours.

iPad Air, iOS 9

Finally, I found it. You have to find the button to turn on smart annotations. Then you will get the mark up tools at the bottom of the screen, and you can select the first tool, write in the document, and the handwriting will be changed into typed text.


As far as I can see, nothing Apple has put out provides these instructions. They seem to have gone from intuitive to mind reading.

Yes, but when did you install it, what minor release and what hardware? It seems to be older hardware disproportionately affected. I literally had a perfectly functioning device, installed the upgrade and the device was then unusable. The closest that they've come to admitting that the upgrade was the issue was "Upgrades and new functionality can push the hardware and may highlight existing deficiencies".


Instead of paying $600 for a swap/repair, I just turned in the device for a $200 credit. I always recommended iPads and iPhones for mission/business critical use because of the durability and dependability. But the past few years have really been challenging that. We're still paying the Apple Tax, but the huge gap between Apple and competitors is almost gone.

I am running a 4-5 year old iPad Pro.

I installed iPadOS 14.2 on all of my family's devices a week after its initial release.

Prior to this, my old iPad Pro models were running iOS 10.3.3. and my wife's iPad 7th gen was running whatever it was initially shipped with which I think was iPadOS 13.1 or 2 and her over 4-year old version iPhone SE, purchased new over 2 years ago, was on its, originally shipped/installed iOS 12.2.1.
