iPad pro 9.7 slow screen refresh when browsing and scrolling?

Anybody else seeing this?

When reading web pages on Safari as I scroll the page up maybe half or a full page the screen has a real lag in refreshing - it stays blank for a second or two before the text or pictures appear. Most annoying.


As i only got it on Thursday I am not sure whether its linked to the latest update IOS 9.3.1 or not - i.e. i don't think it was doing it before that update?


Most annoying and not what I'd expect from an iPad Pro.


I have tried refreshing the WiFi, it doesn't do it on my Mac so something in the iPad?


Edited to add it appears ok on Chrome browser, scrolls no problem, and doesn't do this on my iPad 2 which has not received the latest update.

iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.1

I have the 13 inch iPad Pro i'm experiencing the same issues and I'm experiencing the same issue similar to those your outlined.


  • Screen loading/refreshing scrolling Safari, in any orientation of the screen. A good three seconds or more.
  • White blocks on pages where you have to zoom in or rapidly scroll the page to remove them
  • Text does not refresh, nor does it delete when pushing the delete key.
  • Text highlighting is nearly impossible
  • Perhaps as mentioned, some issues with multitasking features

This is very unacceptable for a high-end tablet in my opinion

Steveatesh/Dyrloev et. al:

I've bought this thread to Apple Tech support attention as well as a similar one ( with video showing the issue) located at the MacOS Rumors site. I've reported this issues at least three times since first encountered but have not heard of a solution as of yet. Rather annoying for a 'faster ' device ( and much more expensive). I guess if the next update doesn't fix this issue we'll have to up the noise. We can't be the only ones experiencing this issue as it appears to be software related.


Regards.....

OK... I'm writing again because I'm really frustrated with this problem. It's been a month approximately, and Safari is super slow refreshing the screen while scrolling.

Some pages cannot be zoomed, therefore there is no solution for this. I have the filling this is a problem of (graphic) memory assignation and in consequence, it would not get fix until nex iOS if we are lucky. Main problem is that the guys at Apple are more interested in "emojis evolution", than in making the product stable.

Unfortunately the market is a little bit rigged; google + Samsung or Apple. Depressing right?

Yes; still experiencing it here but now it seems to be occurring on many more sites. As stated before it happens even on sites that are minimal in their display of graphics and adds. Try the MacSurfer site......basically almost all text and I get the delay on its site every time. If this is not fixed in the next update I will demand a refund and go back to using my iPad 2. That such an expensive and 'new' and 'more powerful' device can't deliver web pages correctly is a shame. Really, no-one noticed this during testing and Quality Control?????
