Stuttering on iPad Air 2
Hi,
I bought a brand new iPad Air 2 a few days ago and have been using an iPad Air before that. Both run iOS 8.1.
There is a distinct stuttering in high-load games like 'Real Racing 3' and 'Asphalt 8'. Both games run on the iPad Air 2 with a serious frame drop / stuttering.
In Real Racing 3 it seems to be constant: frames drop every now and then, the game seems to freeze for just a fraction of a second. It's subtle, but it's clearly there.
In Asphalt 8 the problem is different: the gameplay is very smooth, but every 60-90 seconds the game will go into a bizarre stutter that can only be resolved by pausing the game and then resuming. After resuming all is smooth again.
It seems the upgrade from an iPad Air to iPad Air 2 'broke' video games that depend on FPS.
I tried resetting the iPad to no avail.
Might there be a problem with the new hardware inside or is this a software issue?
Does anybody else have the same problem?
PS: I restored the iPad from a backup. I'll try a clean install, but I'm pretty sure this will probably not be of much help.
