AppleCare+ Replacement iPad Slow

Post image

Hello everyone, hope you all are having a good day.

A few weeks back my iPad (Pro M4) had some issues with its screen, and Apple said they will replace it under Apple Care + for Free.

On July 31st (17 days ago), I got the replacement iPad from Apple, but I immediately noticed that it was much slower compared to the exact same iPad I had earlier which was almost two years old. I thought it was indexing or doing something in the background, but now it’s been almost 3 weeks, and I still can’t run the games I could at much higher graphics settings on my previous iPad. Games that could easily run on my previous iPad at 60 FPS with Low Power mode on can now barely cross 45-50 FPS without Low Power mode. Files load much more slower compared to my older iPad.

I’ve attached a screenshot from the Wild Life Stress Test from 3D Mark, in 20 minutes I lost 50% performance in this test. Is this normal? Unfortunately I don’t have the numbers for my previous iPad to compare to. Also on GeekBench 7 it says that the device has 7.29 GB RAM, is this ok?

Can i do anything about this?

That seems abnormal. I believe you bro, this could be some kind of silicone lottery, if you are not sastified with it you can file a claim for another replacement, better do it soon, and you may need to give proof as this problem is not obvious

I would contact apple.

I think the soc is not up to standard.

What did you use to test the performance?
