Any #AppleiPad users notice an increase in weird little issues in the past few months?

I’ve happily used a 2018 iPad Pro for the last 5 years but in the last few months there have been repeated weird issues.

  • This weekend Safari hung for the first time ever.
  • I’ve had several occasions where rebooting the iPad took much longer than it should – I slid the toggle to turn it off but it stays at a blank black window (the ipad is still on as the screen emits light) until I held down the power button to force the reboot – and even then it took a while to turn off & show the white apple logo while booting.
  • On several occasions it hung while I was in the Settings app

The iPad has always been rock solid until now, so I’m wondering if a recent iPadOS update messed things up (either intentionally or unintentionally by Apple) or if it’s just me.

It’s definitely not a storage issue as I’ve got over 250gb (out of 512gb) free.

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

Here we go again: the common #adhd morning dilemma of ‘Have I taken my meds or not?’ Thanks to my lovelyshort term #memory, I have to piece together my morning and see where I deviated from The Sequence of Things, because any deviation can make me forget a step. (this need for a specific order of actions makes me wonder how far along the spectrum I might be).

the primevals 2023
I started watching #ThePrimevals last night and it is an AWESOME BLAST FROM THE PAST! The #stopmotion #animation is exquisite and everything about the production – the shots, the blocking, the color grading – feels like a #film made before 1982. And it’s a straight up B #movie with tacky dialogue and bad acting. I’m looking forward to watching the rest, apparently the story gets batshit crazy.

Gotta hand it to #landlords, somehow important shit like ACs & fridges break down only on holiday weekends.

I had a major breakthrough yesterday, #singing at full volume in front of someone else. Usually I sing alone in the car, pretty damn loudly according to my watch‘s decibel warnings. I’ve long wanted to sing in bands & stuff and I recently realized that #anxiety strangled my voice when I tried – and even affected my normal speaking voice, making it much higher pitched than it should be. So singing at full volume in the car with our 19yo is a big deal 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽. #adhd #music #smallwins
