iPad Pro 10.5 screen randomly freezes - anyone else have this?

Brand new (obviously) iPad Pro 10.5. It happens, very intermittently but it happens. It's like the touch screen is dead. Double-clicking the home button brings up the task list. You can then move to a different app. But then the screen is still dead. Turning the screen off and on will reset things, so that the screen becomes live again. Frustrating and not something I've ever seen before. This is my fourth iPad. Maybe it's defective? Just wondering is it just me or do other people see this too.

iPad Air 2 WiFi, Cellular, iOS 10.2

Mine got a lot better with 11.3 but then restarted with the issue a few days later. Took it to Apple store and they replaced it. Tech said it’s most likely a logic board issue. While reduce motion, and disabling promotion helps this gimps your iPad un necessarily. Just get it replaced. Seems like a known issue they’re just not making public.

I’m having the same problems. The screen just randomly stops responding to touch for a few seconds. The iPad was sent to Apple and they found no problems. Apple put me through to a senior customer services agent and she gave me her number to ring if the problem comes back which it has.


Ill be be ringing her again soon and hopefully something can be done. This is unacceptable for such an expensive device.

I got fed up with this and sold my iPad Pro as apple wont exchange or repair it ... and bought exactly the same new one. It has been two weeks since I bought it and I had no issues, not a single one( knock on the wood, I passed the return window). Maybe it is wrong to give Apple money once again but I am too tied into their ecosystem (and they know it too well)
