This exact thing already happened to me before the update, but it was on an Amazon device. I haven't tried after the update yet though.

Hi there, the iPad Air 1 only has 1 GB of RAM so it needs a bit of your help to run smoothly as it has only the "minimum" requirements instead of the "recommended" requirements. So be sure that you give it the best success for performance by turning all graphics settings to low, as well as any other setting that can be minimized, and I would avoid large worlds (unless you want to deal with poorer performance like crashes).

Here is the info regarding specs:

Spoiler: MOBILE 1.3 SPECIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS BY PLATFORM

***Note that devices with higher specifications will naturally see better performance overall and have greater capability for hosting multiplayer sessions, using more intensive graphic settings, etc.***

Also turning off maps can further reduce the memory footprint and make the game run smoother. I would recommend using trippy lighting too.

My device must be low on RAM because I can't load large maps and I can't host multiplayer.

I use the newest ipad air and I had a little stuttering near a specific living tree, and I have a decent amount of storage, so 1 gb, wow

Yeah that was how it was in 1.3 too, I have tried to reduce the MP hosting memory footprint in 1.4 to allow these devices to be able to host locally.

There is a possibility that this could be opened up in a future patch.

yeah, I remember when I had my ipad mini 1, and playing 1.2, I could barely create a expanded world (small world) it was annoying, bc I would enter, play for a minute and then just crash

Uhhh, try turning down the graphics, all of them... I have an IPad 4, (and kindles) the IPad is unusable until you remove all descent graphics.

Oh forgot to say, switch off the screen effects too (at the bottom of the video settings menu)
