What is wrong with my iPad?

I bought this iPad (Air 5) in October of last year, and since day 1 I’ve been experiencing stutters inside of games, sometimes huge freezes that are not pleasant to experience, especially since I bought this iPad because of it’s powerful chip, as advertised by Apple. I also face issues where for a split second, YouTube videos that I’m watching go to really low FPS, it’s just strange. I just want to know if it’s a software issue, as I’ve had this thing for almost 6 months now and almost all the games I’ve tested get this issue, even older games like geometry dash. I’m leaning towards the idea that maybe I just got a defective device. I also want to know if anyone else faced these issues before or are facing them currently. I am using the current iPad OS version 17.4.1

If you have any concerns, you might be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad. If a problem is identified, you'll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
