Significant Lag in Minecraft Bedrock Edition on iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th Generation)

Issue Description:

I am experiencing significant lag while playing Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th Generation), despite strong hardware performance and a stable, high-speed internet connection. The lag manifests as:

•Delayed responses to input commands

•Stuttering or freezing during gameplay

•Slow loading of chunks and entities

•Difficulty interacting with the game world in real-time

This issue occurs consistently, even when no other applications are running in the background.

•Enabled VSync and set an FPS cap.

•Device maintenance:

•Closed all background applications.

•Restarted the iPad Pro.

•Ensured adequate storage space is available.

•Network troubleshooting:

•Restarted the Wi-Fi router.

•Tested gameplay on a different Wi-Fi network.

•Verified that other devices on the network are not consuming excessive bandwidth.

•Performed speed tests to confirm consistent internet speeds.

•Tested on different servers:

•Attempted to play on servers in different regions.

•The lag issue persists across multiple servers.

Additional Observations:

•Other online applications and games on the iPad Pro function without lag.

•The device does not overheat during gameplay.

•No significant battery drain or other performance issues are observed outside of Minecraft.

•The issue occurs regardless of the time of day, suggesting network congestion is unlikely.

•Latency remains stable at approximately 38 ms to the server.

Request for Assistance:

I am seeking support to resolve the lag issues in Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my iPad Pro.

Given the strong hardware performance and stable internet connection, I suspect the issue may be related to:

•The game's optimization on iOS devices

•Compatibility with iOS 17.6.1

•Possible bugs specific to the iPad Pro model
