Certain İOS devices lags while playing the game. Of course, I would understand this problem if it was lagging on low-end devices, but it is lagging on some high-end devices that it shouldn’t be laggy on. I have noticed this problem when I got my new iPad a year ago. The first game I played was Minecraft and I was suprised how laggy it was (iPad Air 3). It was even laggy on the lowest chunks. I have heard some people saying that the problem is on Apple’s end. But if it was on Apple’s end, the device would lag on other games which requires more power than Minecraft. The Feedback Site says that İOS devices higher than İOS 10 is compatible with Minecraft, but it is not the case.

Does the 'lag' that you describe only happen when joining a server?

No it happens when i am playing survival or pvping too. (It is not a little it is a lot.)
migrated
It’s something to do with the A12 Bionic or something because same issue on the Mini 5 render dragon hopefully fixes it

Same problem with iPad Air three. I just can’t imagine that my device should be struggling at even 12 block distance. I’ve contacted support twice with no answer. So frustrating.

Matt chill out the average bug report takes about 170 days to get resolved. Maybe try putting down the simulation distance from 12 to 10

this happens on certain devices and should have been fixed already I have already talked about his in community support and no one seem to help

I'm starting to think they don't care about optimization and will never fix this problem...

Happening on an Ipad Air 4 on version 1.18.2, game performs well and smooth at all times but every now and then there’s a stutter that freezes the screen for a couple of seconds, resetting the device makes everything fine but eventually the problem comes back after relaunching the game

Still an issue on the Preview 1.18.20.22 version

The random stutters I used to get are now gone but everything is now “slower”
-Saves take up to 20-30 seconds to load
-Chunk loading is painfully slow, makes Elytra traveling basically impossible
-There’s some sort of sound delay, I had a creeper explode on me and didn’t hear the sounds until like a second of two after the explosion

Still an issue in 1.20. Crazy how my iPad with an M1 chip performs worse than my Core i5 computer despite being almost 4x more powerful.

Still an issue on 1.20.40 for a iPad Pro 11" 3rd gen.

Still an issue in 1.20.50. Tested today on a 2020 iPad Pro and was almost unplayable.

Still an issue in 1.20.60 (exact version: 1.20.62) for iPad 10th gen with an A14 chip.
Minecraft gets consistent lag spikes and lags whenever there’s more than one player in a world, especially when attacking each other.
It’s not an iPad storage issue. I played with 70% of my internal storage empty and it still lagged. However, emptying Minecraft’s storage alleviated the lag a little.
