Frame rate issues on iPad Mini 5

Device: iPad Mini (5th gen)

CPU: Apple 12 Bionic

RAM: 3GB

Minecraft lags severely on anything above 12 chunks render distance. It can even lag spike at 12 chunks when loading new chunks. A high end iPad Mini should not be slower at Minecraft then my older iPad 5 2017 (Apple A9) which can play at 16 chunks no lag. 

I think that the game needs further optimization for higher end iOS devices.
