iPadOS 18 Causing M4 iPad Pro Bricking Issues
Apple has temporarily halted the rollout of iPadOS 18 for its M4 iPad Pro models due to reports of devices becoming inoperable after the update.
Multiple users have reported that their M4 iPad Pros became bricked following the installation of iPadOS 18. The affected devices reportedly turned off and failed to power back on.
Apple has issued a statement to Engadget in response to these reports. The company acknowledged the issue and confirmed that the iPadOS 18 update has been temporarily removed. This decision affects certain iPad models. The company is actively working to identify and resolve the underlying cause of the problem.
While it’s uncommon for a software update to render a device unusable, the affected users have experienced significant inconvenience and potential financial losses. Some users have reported having to wait for several days to receive replacement devices from Apple.
Apple has not provided an estimated timeline for the resolution of this issue. It is recommended that M4 iPad Pro owners avoid installing iPadOS 18 until a fix becomes available.
