New iPad 3rd gen lagging issue?

When I am in facebook, twitter, flipboard, whenever I clicked a link then open it on their own app web browser, scrolling up and down is laggy, and when I try it on my iPad 2 there is no lag issue, my new iPad is 32gb, and I tried my wifes new iPad 64gb, it also have those lagging issues, anyone experienced it?

If you do not own a previous iPad 2 you won't notice this at all.

Anyone?

iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1

I tried that already, why don't you guys try it go to facebook, on your news feed try scrolling down fast, you will see that it will not smoothly scroll down, it will freeze like really quick but it will continue scrolling down. Like I said both our new iPads has this issue, I think it is general. But if you don't have the iPad 2 before you won't know this if this is your first iPad.

I think the main reason of the slow that u are experience is due to the retina display. The new iPad apparently take more graphic memory and processing power to load the retina display on the iPad screen, so fast scrolling on graphic intensive web page or Facebook will show some quick freezing.


Ps: I both own the new iPad and iPad 2, my iPad 2 is faster in term of graphic processing compare to my new iPad.

I know people will not notice it if they don't own an iPad 2, and I really am getting frustrated by the scroll lagging, I just got use to te iPad 2 with no lagging when scrolling up and down even you load a lot of facebook news feed and scroll it quickly, you really notice it, and it is not that I intentionally do it to make it lag, it is just how you use the iPad. They lost the smoothness, I might try to bring this to apple and return it, I just want a smooth experience like what they dis on the iPad 1 and 2. They lost it here.

I don't experience any lagging, granted I'm using Safari most of the time, but I rarely experience any lag. Maybe it's the apps that yu are using that are lagging, or you can try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider and see if that helps at all.

Stop telling to hard reset the new iPad or reset the network in setting, this won't do anything at all, I will say it again may be this is the first time you bought an iPad, you have no idea what we as an ipad 2 owners buying the new iPad is seeing this problem. All my 20+ friends who have an iPad 2 and bought the New iPad is seeing this, I can even think how you can't see it. Read my post I am not saying about safari, I am saying about almost all apps that is installable there is lag all over the place.

Why don't you get off of this discussion site then and do something about it. The fact that your 20 friends are all having this issue means absolutely nothing at all to me and it means nothing else to anyone else here. And forgive me, but I find it hard to believe your claim anyway - all 20 of you are noticing the same lag?? Really?


Get off your duff, and contact Apple if you think the new iPad is "laggy". My new iPad flies in every app, in Safari - everywhere. The device has a one year warranty. It it is to working properly - ask for a replacement.

This is Apple support community, posting here about problems with apple device is welcome, why don't you get off of this discussion and make your own website and tell people what you only want to hear.

People with problems with ios device come here to send message to apple support so they can address the problem, you have no right to tell people to get off this discussion, especially if you don't even own an ios device / if you own an android.

This is not your website.

i own a iphone 4s + the new iPad and my cousin the iPad 2 ... and i surely noticed the laggy scrolling too!

the new ipad is definitely not as smooth as the other two. a bit disappointed here...

even when you are on the home screen and swipe to the left to get the searchbar its laggy ... my iphone 4s goes as smooth as nothing to the searchbar ... apple please fix this! i didnt buy the new ipad to get off the standards
