iPad Slow To Turn On

Never experienced this, but then I very rarely turn it off. I just put it to sleep by shortly pressing the power button once.

Hmm yes, just tried it and it is closer to 10 seconds. Guess that's why I don't turn it off very often

I never turn mine off, but you can try doing a restore. Don't know if you would want to do that though

It really doesn't need turning off.

My gf has underused her iPad - bought it but has been putting off letting it replace her MBA. The upshot is it's been sitting around in sleep mode for weeks after the first charge.

She switched it on the other night to find it still had 75% charge. After several weeks. Sleep mode is very efficient.

Lately it's been taking about 10 seconds for my apple logo to show up to after hitting the power button. I always get scared and think that it won't turn back on. It'll probably get fixed with a restore so i don't ever really worry about it. Plus I don't turn my iPad off much. Don't think u need to worry too much. My iPhone used to do the same thing every once in a while

I noticed this today as well. It takes mine a good 10-15 seconds to turn on. So much so that it's hard to tell if I actually was successful turning it on. Rather strange.

I don't get why people are turning off their iPads. One of the best features is instant on from standby and the low battery usage in standby (virtually none if you have notifications off). I've had mine two months and never turned it off. Once I rebooted because it hung, that is it. Why do people feel the need to power down their iPad except in problem situations?

Because I power stuff off when I'm not using them. It's just what I do. There's no real benefit for me to leave it on so off it goes. My 3GS turns on almost instantly, I thought the iPad would be the same. No biggie, if Apple thought it never needed to be off then I guess they wouldn't have included that "feature".

I only "turn mine off" when i feel the need to reboot it. I'm talking at the push and hold the sleep to get the "slide to power down"

It's made to go into sleep mode - that is why they taut the long battery life in standby! I figure if they wanted us to shut them off all the time, we'd just hit the sleep button, not have to hold it and slide and all that jazz.

It would drive me nuts to have to wait for it to actually boot up each time.

OK, i just timed my 3rd gen iPod Touch, twice because it hadn't been "rebooted" in forever. 44 seconds from the time i hit & held the power button on top.

Now to go test my iPad - which is charging. OK, from the push and hold the sleep/power button it was 35 seconds to be able to unlock it. How are you guys getting 10-15?

Mine can act glitchy so I turn it off for a quick second sometimes.

Mines takes as long as my iPhone 4 if. Not quicker. Mind you I just got mine this week but it doesn't take long at all

Yeah my 2021 M1 2T takes two times to turn back on.

I have to restart mine to get the app badge to disappear from my news folder. One can appear for like 455 unread when I don’t have any unread.
