I am also experiencing lag on my 6th Gen, 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the latest version of Minecraft Bedrock for iOS (1.21.72). There is a consistent delay of several seconds when interacting with the touch screen for all actions (selection, interaction, block placement, and movement). Additionally, since 1.21.72, the game has been depleting battery at a much faster rate than normal, consuming approx. 1% of battery every minute. The iPad also gets warmer than usual. I am accustomed to Minecraft requiring significant battery and so typically keep my device plugged into power when playing, but I am not able to do that since 1.21.72 because playing while connected to power causes the iPad battery to exceed operating temperatures (I get a system warning on my screen). I have adjusted game settings and reduced FPS with no result. The ONLY way I have found to stop the game from overheating my iPad is to turn on Airplane mode and play offline. Playing offline does not improve the lag. I am hopeful this can be addressed soon. Thank you.
