IPad Pro 11 Performance Issues

I have a new iPad Pro 11, only five months old. It has had performance issues for some time to include, keyboard “mistypes” meaning hitting a letter and another letter types; websites fail to load; text on websites load but graphics do not; very sluggish and slow performance to the point my iPad Mini beats my iPad Pro in download speed.

I had a chat with an Apple tech and he did an Analytical Analysis several times and it came up as in incomplete each time. I asked him what that meant and he said probably a software issue but offered no resolution. I have tried clearing cookies, all updates are current soft restart, etc and nothing works. Any ideas! I have Apple care but don’t know if that would get me a new iPad. I can’t live with these constant issues for another three years! Thanks for any advice.

If exchanged under an active AppleCare plan, Apple may exchange your iPad for a renewed/reconditioned iPad of the same model and specification as the iPad that you have now.


Given the troubleshooting already attempted, your next step would be to fully reset your iPad - restoring your data from your iCloud or iTunes backup - ensuring that your backup is as up to date as possible before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content & Settings


After resetting, you’ll set-up the iPad “as new” from the initial “hello” screen. At the end of the process, you’ll have opportunity to restore your backup to the iPad.

You’re very welcome.


Hopefully the reset will restore normal function; a full reset and test, prior to exploring alternative remedies, would be the most sensible avenue to pursue.


As for Apple’s own renewed/reconditioned devices (as opposed to reconditioned devices that may be offered for purchase via non-Apple retailers), these are reportedly indistinguishable from new - having passed Apple’s own Quality and functional testing - and having a new casing and battery.
