iPad Pro TapS (plural!) To Wake!

11" iPP, tap-to-wake actually takes multiple taps. Like, 3, 4, or 5 in a row to actually wake the screen. Anyone else? Been happening for a while, even across multiple iPadOS updates.

It could be due to lag slowing down the system while it's in standby mode.

Screen protector interference?

Is also guess in the direction of screen protector or dirty screen. Do you restart every once in a while too?

All good thoughts here!

- Seems like serious lag, then, IMO. It’s like: tap... nothing. Tap tap... nothing. Tap tap tap tap FINALLY the screen wakes up! Sometimes it takes 3-4 taps, sometimes more.
- No screen protector, and no substantial amount of dirt/oil. I clean it regularly every couple of days (especially now with C19, but this has been occurring before COVID).
- Restart every couple of months. Not sure what that might have to do with this, though.

This just started happening on my iPad Pro 11 2018 yesterday.
Very strange.

On my 2018 iPad Pro 11' - this happened once every other month or so, it was really rare. It never was something I could replicate. I have a 2020 now so ... hasn't happened since I've taken ownership of this thing. (this year).

Yeah, I kinda suspect it's a flaw in my device. I've also had weird phantom screen touches, and an audible click in the portrait-based S and D keyboard area.
