Apple Pencil Pro lag on new iPad Air M4 — any fixes?
Hi everyone,
I recently got a new iPad Air M4 with an Apple Pencil Pro, and I’m noticing noticeable lag/delay while writing or drawing.
It happens mainly in apps like Freeform and Goodnotes. The Pencil feels slightly behind my hand rather than responding instantly, which is especially noticeable when writing quickly or making small strokes.
My iPad is already updated to the latest stable iPadOS 27.1, so I’m wondering if this is a software issue, an app issue, or something wrong with my setup.
Things I’ve already tried:
● Restarting the iPad
● Re-pairing the Apple Pencil Pro
● Updating to iPadOS 27.1 stable
● Closing and reopening the apps
● Testing in both Freeform and Goodnotes
Has anyone with an iPad Air M4 + Apple Pencil Pro experienced similar lag?
If so, what fixed it for you? Is there any specific setting I should check, or is this a known iPadOS/Freeform/Goodnotes issue?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
