My iPad just sped up 25%-40% after upgrading iOS 15.4.1 We’re starting to lose games because they, presumably, now run at their designed performance.

Notably in the news, this version fixes a security hole which allows arbitrary remote execution of code on the device…. So… the mind thinketh perhaps, in all of my memory with this iPad, someone was earning cents constantly mining some crypto coin?

The additional Apple warning about battery consumption increasing seems to indicate that perhaps it wasn’t malware slowing down the iPad. Apple might have simply removed the battery life preserver that slows down the cpu in order to use extend battery life. Maybe this is even liked tot he rumor that Biden may invoke the defense production act to make more raw material for making batteries. If that happens, the battery life may not be such a huge problem.

Anyways, a lot of speculations and lost virtual lives. Feeling kind of embarrassed to be self concerned at a moment when Russia invasion of Ukraine rages on.

Peace!
