iPad Pro iPad Pro and iOS 11 issues. Are you affected?

[gobikerider]

Im am curious to find out if iOS 11 is causing issues on other peoples iPad’s or if I am alone in these issues. Essentially I restored to iOS 11 and have since updated to iOS 11.1. Other then some annoying microstuttering I thought my issues were resolved but they have since started up again. The large issue is my notification panel taking 4-5 seconds to actually animate and display once I have swiped down from the top of my display. My iPad’s display is also unresponsive after unlocking the device. It’s so weird its like everything is frozen then it just resumes normal operation. My home button also doesn’t immediately wake my device. I find myself hitting it 2-3 times if it even repsonds at all, sometimes I have to click the power button to wake my device because the home button is just not waking the display but it does detect and unlock my iPad because the display just pops up no lock screen to speak of. Maybe my iPad is broken but I dont see how that is possible as it worked flawlessly on iOS 10 and I haven’t dropped it or anything. These problems only arose since I’ve migrated to iOS 11. I’m mainly curious if my issues are isolated or if others are having similar issues mainly with the iPad becoming unresponsive mainly related to home screen functions and the Notification Center.

I can report that iOS 11.1 causes some weird behaviour on my iPad Pro (9.7) too.
1) Swiping to the widgets causes the iPad to be unresponsive for around 3-4 seconds and scrolling through the widgets makes the device skipping frames all the time
2) sometimes apps aren’t launching when started from the dock
3) copy and paste via the context menu isn’t working... sometimes it instantly offers the buttons for copy, select, paste sometimes it doesn’t show up at all and only lets me drag and drop stuff...
4) I still have the feeling the battery isn’t lasting as long as with iOS 10

I just updated to iOS 11.1.1, maybe they fixed the unresponsive issues, probably not though.

On my 10.5 I do find that when closing a single Safari page by pinching then clickig the X that I takes several seconds quite often to action. Not all the time but regularly enough to be annoying. Occasionally other apps have similar issues particularly Real Estate ones but put that down to the app but may not be the case.

I am still annoyed by not being able to connect to Android hotspots

I have no such issue with iOS 11 (iPad pro 9.7"). No delays anywhere. The is sometimes a very slight stuttering in animations when opening/closing apps, but that's it.

I’m getting about 80% of my former battery life on my iPad Pro.

Also, I haven’t seen anyone else say this, but my display brightness keeps floating around - dimming for no reason I can see. I have brightness set to manual (Tru=tone and Night Shift off). This started the day I installed 11.1. It’s pretty noticeable and dims over the course of perhaps 5-6 seconds.

I did the update to 11.1.1 and it fixed the unrepsonive issues on my iPad.
Let's sit back and wait if Apple is able to polish it even more

My main annoyance by far with iOS 11 (on both iPhone 6S+ and iPad Pro 10.5) is the Apple Calendar app... I use it extensively not only to organise my work day but also my daily life (almost like a diary). And while everything was good up to iOS 10 it became a horrible experience now, super slow and laggy, misses "clicks", entries disappear while writing etc, a real PITA... Otherwise 11.1 fixed most of the issues for me on both devices...

I also have the same issues with Notification Centre (Cover Sheet) on 10.5" iPad Pro. Eventually it becomes super laggy and freezes my iPad when I unlock it. iOS 11.1.1 does not fix this issue. Looks like this bug occurs when I invoke cover sheet while playing videos in apps. Removal of proper Notification Centre has been a real problem for me. Invoking Cover Sheet now behaves like locking the device completely. When you do, it suspends the app where you invoked it like FaceTime, YouTube or any game you were playing. Sometimes I play the game and want to quickly check the time by bringing cover sheet but now, by doing so, suspends my gameplay...

Also Apps Switcher stutters and very buggy. Overall these issues are not the end of the world but still very annoying when you get used to something and then Apple breaks that experience...

iOS 11.1 runs buttery smooth on my iPad Pro 9.7. It’s fast, and I love swiping up to manage apps.

I’m a little hopeful but I am reserving judgement until I’m sure the issues don’t return.

The music apps stuttering when opening multitasking window, the battery doesn’t last 10 hours anymore for my iPad

...My iPad’s display is also unresponsive after unlocking the device. It’s so weird its like everything is frozen then it just resumes normal operation...

I have 3 iPads all still on iOS 10.3.3,

And my 10.5" screen infrequently randomly goes momentarily non-responsive, so that may not be 11.

I have had my iPad pro 12.9 for one year-- after iOS 11 update, it's slow, chuggy, and the battery life is greatly reduced. Im heartbroken because it was a big investment for me. after updating my work issue iPhone 7Plus, and my personal SE and my series 1 apple watches respectively the battery life and lag is really showing.

Have you tried calibrating your iPad Pro battery? Also I find auto brightness greatly improves my battery life, I also have Siri and Spotlight Search disabled on my iPad along with most of the location “system services”

11 has been far, far worse on my 10.5” Pro than on my phone. I’m on .1 and Safari just went absolutely mental on me when I tried to refresh a page, I also have issues with the device not waking properly, awful battery life (this seems to have improved somewhat with .1), lag, stutter, you name it. Pretty poor if you ask me.

The brightness thing literally happened as I was reading your reply.

Just as I read this my 12.9 Pro on 11.1.1 went back to being oddly unresponsive hmmm. It hasn’t even been 24 hours sigh, when will my “Pro iPad start functioning like one. I’m not asking for perfection with no stutters but I cant have the darn thing randomly becoming unresponsive and janky when I try to simply view my notifications or go to a webpage in Safari.

My iPad is still working fine with iOS 11.1.1 - hopefully Apple has a fix for your issues with the upcoming 11.2 update

 

[IowaLynn]

iOS 11.2 beta. Only complaint: keyboard lags if fast typing.
iPad 9.7" 2017 setup new and went straight to 11.2.

Do a hard reset (press home and power buttons together) and run the battery down to zero, until the machine turns off. Might help. My iPad Pro is 2015, and is working fine now.

 

[Legendts]

My issues haven’t changed, Safari very slow to close a singular page, also noticing that it won’t wake up and have to resort to several attempts to get it awake. 11.1.1 has made no difference. Starting to annoy me now as it is happening too frequently.

 

[Eric5273]

I have waited and haven't upgraded to iOS 11 yet. Since I use my iPad Pro as my main computer, I can't risk having any issues. I will most likely wait until 11.2 is released before updating.

 

[chedder’mac]

Updated to 11.1.1 after the initial 11.0 update really crapped out my 10.5, bad battery life, lag, pretty much everything that most everyone has been having issues with. Did a fresh install and set up as new, did not use any of my batch of backups...so far so good. Lagginess seems to be a non-issue, still monitoring battery life, but things seem better. Will keep an eye on things and post findings...

iOS 11 has been the greatest update Apple has ever made, especially after the 11.1 update for better battery.
All my iOS devices except the iPod 5 (see my signature) all have been updated to iOS 11.1.1 and work better than any iOS version before.
My only grievance is how the home button still has to be clicked to open my iPad, (even with “rest to open” on it will occasionally still require it.)
