I also have this issue and have taken multiple steps to attempt to resolve…
power cycled my device
Toggled all settings as low as they could go, including turning off fancy graphics and setting render distance to only 5 chunks (before I had it set to 18)
backed up my device, saved world files to the cloud and restored from the backup (didn’t end up needing to reload the copy of the world files as they were part of the backup, but wanted to be safe)
while restoring from the backup, I made sure it was connected to our 5.0 GHz WiFi network and did not use it until it was complete
It should be noted that the time it takes to connect to a realm seems unchanged, but loading up my own world takes considerably longer. But whichever world I’m playing on, the chunk loading, audio lag, block placement lag and other performance issues that others have mentioned still persist. It definitely seems to be local performance for iOS/iPadOS devices. I play on a realm with others that use PC/Xbox that claim they did not notice any more slowness than “normal” (minor chunk loading issues while flying with elytra)
