I am experiencing constant and very regular freezes in Minecraft Bedrock on iPad with A16 chip.
The game freezes approximately every 25 seconds, very consistently, even when the device is cold and not overheating.
This issue did NOT exist in version 1.20.
As soon as I updated to version 1.21, the freezes started immediately.
Lowering graphics settings to minimum does not help.
Removing all addons does not help.
The problem occurs even in singleplayer and offline mode.
It happens in multiple worlds, including newly created ones.
The iPad performance is otherwise normal, and other games run smoothly.
This seems to be a bug introduced in version 1.21 on
iOS/iPadOS.
