iPad Pro iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen freezing frequently

[Dr. McKay]

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2nd gen, running iOS 14.2.
My screen frequently just freezes for about 5 seconds, touch screen doesn't respond to anything. Never experienced that with any previous version of iOS.
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Yes - lots of us have that with the 12.9 second gen - been having that myself since iOS 12

It seems to come and go - inconsistently

There are quite a few threads about this here on these forums

Strange... Only started a few weeks ago. Wonder what's causing it.

Probably a hardware defect of some sort regarding the touch layer?

Yup hardware related. I had my first gen 2 12.9 replaced under AppleCare+ a year ago and now this replacement unit is doing the same thing and getting progressively worse.

Widespread problem in this forum. Happened to mine as well. Sold it and got a 3rd gen 12.9". No problems since!

Great... so basically, my iPad is in danger of becoming a very expensive coaster...

So it's not just the 12.9 inch model, apparently...

No crashes on my second gen 12.9, only one app crash since my update to 14.2 since retail release.

I don’t think we’re discussing app crashing, but the iPad being unresponsive to touches.

Mis-read something and got a topic confused, despite that, I had thought all second gen 12.9's all had some sort of touch sensitivity issue. Comes and goes on mine but it's actually behaved for the past few months.

It’s the “Pros” that have the issue. I think the design is compromised - too thin, probably.
