iPad freezes up. Sometimes a long delay in typing. Sometimes no response at all.

My iPad freezes up occasionally, and I usually just hit airplane mode, wait a while, and it is back to normal. A few minutes ago it froze up for a while, and almost nothing would respond. I tried to turn on airplane mode but even that would not respond, tapping it many times.

iPad, iPadOS 14

iPad Pro 12.9 (6th Gen) iOS 16.1.1 Constant Random App Freezing leading to hard restart I’ve got a new iPad Pro, it runs great but occasionally some of the apps stop to load past its splash screen & then the experience declines from there. After trying to start a few apps like Instagram, formula one, steam, Files, they don’t go past the splash screen (in case of Files, the app froze on the last folder I opened) and a few minutes later the app freezes completely, not allowing me to get back to the homepage. I can only pull the notifications shade at this point. Pressing the current notifications doesn’t do anything either. Nothing in the control Center works too. The only option is a hard restart I.e. quickly tapping volume up, then volume down and holding the power button until it restarts. This is 4th time it’s happened in a weeks use. I’ve tried resetting the settings to no avail and I don’t stress the iPad, have hardly 3 apps in memory. This is a very serious issue. Any pointers to get this permanently fixed or an Apple dev that can make sure a fix for this is out? There’s nothing on the internet regarding this strange issue or help. There are a lot of analytic/bug reports that seem to be made not sure if that’s a good thing or if it could help.

iPhone 14 screen freezing during calls My phone freezes while I’m talking on the phone. It’s been happening since I bought it in September. Anyone else experiencing this? Some of the things I’ve tried are numerous resets and gotten a new phone. I’ve been to Apple Store 4 times and called Apple support at least 5 times. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
