iOS 8.4 slow wake on iPad Air 2

After upgrading to iOS 8.4, I noticed that there is a 1-2 second delay before the screen turns on after waking it up. This generally happens if my iPad has been locked for a few minutes and I'm certain that this wasn't present in iOS 8.3. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I'm going to submit a bug report to Apple, but wanted to reach out to the community first...

iPad Air 2 under iOS 8.4 and wake is instantaneous here, whether from the sleep/wake switch or Smart Cover.

I sent feedback to Apple about my iPad Air 2 being slow to wake up after iOS8.4x here. https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html


The form asked me about the OS version on my iMac, not just the iOS version on my iPad Air 2.


This made me wonder whether the fact that I upgraded my iPad iOS via iTunes on a Mac running Lion caused the problem.


Just to rule it out: have any of you downloaded the iPad iOS 8.4 update via iTunes on a Mac running Yosemite, and does the problem still occur?

WWell, much frustration later, couple of calls with Apple support, one backup and restore later - no change.


THe lag/delay is still there.


AS others, I am noticing that when the pad is charging there is no issue - likewise waking up from a short sleep there's no delay.


ANd and to cap it off - my iphone 6 has started dragging its feet opening apps....


**** these updates!!


ANd and the double caps....


However I am reliably informed this problem has been identified and will be fixed at the next update......

Seriously, it's been a month already and still no patch to fix this. This is ridiculous. I'm using my iPhone 5S more often than my iPad Air 2 because it's faster! That makes no sense! For me, Sleep/Wake function is still slow, Rotation function is broken, and many apps overall are just slow. What is going on Apple? You guys are usually on top of your game with this stuff?

I hear you!


Why do we have to wait so long for an update to fix this (assuming that it actually will)?


I guess somebody is just too busy working on the next product, which will probably have a new set of bugs! 😁


What can we do?


Nothing, other than send feedback https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html, and radically lower our expectations.


Still not ready to go to abandon ship yet, but that is only because the competition is so poor.


A sorry situation indeed.
