I do not believe this problem is isolated, I have seen many players with iPod reporting similar issue, my guess is that the latest PVZ update is not fully compatible with some iPods loaded with latest IOS, the problem is that EA will blame Apple's latest IOS and Apple will say their device works perfectly with other Apps so it is EA who creates the issue, and unfortunately you are getting stuck in the middle.
Bottom line, you can report this fault to both EA and Apple but I would not hold my breath.
Edit. mistypes
Thank u that actually sounds about right to be honest cheers for that 👍
