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.

More Notes & Asides

Hello again, insomnia you focker. I’ve somehow managed to get less & less sleep every day this week. You’d think that the fatigue would catch up to me but no.
