It's been almost a year since this topic started but still this issue remains on iPads M1 series. Even the gameplay as not as smooth on ipad mini5 which is like a joke in 2022. I'm using iPad Air5 with M1 chip and 8GB ram but the gameplay is not match with the specifications at all. I have no idea it's about game developets! OS issue or what! The only thing I'm sure about is that it's not gonna be fixed until they'll advertise M2 series by fixing this issue. Rest in peace M1
