This post saved me from buying a new iPad

[Jay_Roman]

I had recently updated to the latest version of IF (3D). I use a 2017 iPad Pro.

My iPad’s performance had dramatically decreased despite playing around with graphics, rendering, fps etc. This didn’t really help much. Especially at a busy 3D airport!

I was about to purchase a new iPad as I was convinced that this was the problem until by chance I read the post below.

GPU, Memory issues

Z-Tube’s Guide to Clearing the RAM on Your iPad 6th Generation Unlock your iPad. Press and hold the Power button until you see the Slide to Power Off option. Release the Power button. Hold down the Home button for about 5 seconds. The screen will flash white and then return to the Home Screen. This will indicate that the RAM has been cleared.

I didn’t even know that clearing RAM was a thing. Anyway, I tried this and its made a MASSIVE difference.

So if you have an iPad and experiencing reduced performance I would definitely recommend clearing your RAM.

Thank you @Z-Tube

Hey, Jay!

No worries at all! I am glad that you stumbled upon my post, saving you from shelling out hundreds of bucks.

In all fairness, however, my guide isn’t mine, per se. The steps were taken from a reply I saw on Apple’s Community Forum. I don’t remember the specific post/topic, as it was years ago, but you can access their forum by clicking on the blue text above. It’s a huge help and where I have retained most of my knowledge to this day. You should definitely check it out!

Nevertheless, I appreciate the shoutout. It’s folks like you that make this forum an enjoyable place.

See you around! ✈️🙌
