So, the 11 is slower, but I don't see how that little difference would cause such a problem.
For simple browsing, those are pretty respectable results. That’s actually more than sufficient for 1080p streaming.

At work, I often get 5 Mbps down / 2 Mbps up and even that’s fairly workable.

It sounds to me like your internet connection might be cutting off in the middle of downloads, though. Do you still have warranty on the device? If yes, I’d bring it to Apple for replacement.

I loved mine until I got the new mini - it showed me how very slow the 11 is - downloads are a nightmare, even with very fast internet, it takes at least 4 downloads that don't update to get one that does. The mini, on the other hand, is lightening fast for everything. Now the 11 sits on the shelf, and I'm thinking about selling it. I'm sure you'll love your 11, just don't compare it to a mini. It is a great tablet, size wise, Procreate is wonderful on it, I could have just gotten a defective one somehow.

Odd, My 11" is blazing fast compared to the mini. I had the mini and sold it

You do have to compare models from the same basic time period. I believe that an iPad Pro and a mini from the same year, you would have a tough time telling a speed difference. If you are comparing an older mini to a new iPad pro, well then yea, big difference.

That's so but even when comparing the A12X and A12 versions, it still doesn't make sense that the Pro 11 is slower than the mini 5.

Around same speed sure. Pro 11 is slower? There's something wrong with the Pro 11 if that's the case.

That's my conclusion, also. Hopefully, I'll find an Apple center soon to take a look at it.

Really odd, you have the same problem as me, but in reverse. Wonder if Apple changed some components in midstream?

I definitely want a mini 5. I miss my old mini 2. My iPad Pro 9.7" is quickly dying, I think. The battery drains 50% in about 3 or 4 hours now. It is really slow compared to my iPhone XR. Plus iPadOS 13 has pretty much rendered it a mess! But alas I’m going to wait for a while longer due to the pandemic. I might need the extra cash for sheltering in place at home, which I’m currently doing, since I’m in the high risk category. Gouging is turning inexpensive, common household items into expensive items!

An Update on my slow Ipad 11" - I downloaded the newest 13.4 update and it is now running just as fast as my mini. Well done, Apple.

I would like an Ipad mini as well for its a perfect reading size. I bought a Samsung 8" but hate it for its too rectangular in size. I like to he more square-ish shape of the ipad mini
