I have recently purchased an 11 inch iPad Pro 2020 and I have found out of the box that minecraft is incredibly laggy. This is a brand new iPad yet for some reason my iPad mini 4 ran better on it. The max chunks setting I can set to is 8 chunks before the game begins to become laggy and I can only also do a simulation distance of 4 chunks before lag ensues. I am quite disappointed and would really like for my iPad to be an effective device to play minecraft. And I don't believe it's the iPad fault.

This issue of lag is not occurring with any other games on the device, like for example, I tested the game fortnite and it was not laggy in the slightest with all of the settings on the highest.
