Since updating my iPad Pro 10.5 to iPadOS 16.3.1 the screen touch sensitivity is frustratingly poor with a 3 to 4 second delay before a screen touch produces a reaction. No amount of screen cleaning improves the situation.
Q.1 Is this problem caused by the update?
Q.2. Is there a solution?
Q.3. Is this Product obsolescence creeping up?
iPad Pro, 16
Screen sensitivity is not adjustable via settings. You appear to be describing a delay between touching the iPad screen - and seeing a response.
If this behaviour has become apparent subsequent to performing a system-software update, the update may be incomplete, or a process has stalled. As an initial step, try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the problem persists, you might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
