iPad mini 2 slow after iOS updates!!!

Why has my iPad mini 2 slowed down dramatically since updating to the latest iOS 12???

i have performed a factory reset and did not install any applications and still it is slow as molasses. This all started after I update iOS to the latest level for my device 12.x...

what good is it to have the latest software features/patches if it makes your device unusable??.

Is there a way to restore iOS 9 or 10 when my iPad ran great!

With iOS 12 on it, my iPad has become a paperweight.

is this what they called planned obsolescence??? I am so sorry I installed this update!

iPad mini, iOS 12

Try a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

Good Luck!

It is not possible to restore an earlier version of iOS than the current release version. Any version can only be installed whilst it remains digitally signed by Apple - and only the current (and for a very short period of time after a new release) the immediately preceding release can be installed/reinstalled.

iOS 12.5.x continues to receive security updates - the most recent, iOS 12.5.3, being released only a few weeks ago.

Also,

What is the rated, internal data storage space/capacity of your iPad model and how much of this free, internal data storage capacity is left inside of your iPad model?
