Apple released iPadOS 18 to iPad users, aiming to bring new features and improvements to their devices. However, the update's rollout did not go smoothly, prompting the company to withdraw it.
Many users reported serious problems after updating their iPad Pro devices with the M4 chip, as the devices stopped working and could not be switched on. Apple decided to suspend over-the-air (OTA) updates for iPads and also withdrew the IPSW files used to restore the devices.
On Reddit, there were numerous reports of problems with iPadOS 18, with several users noticing that their iPads had shut down completely after the update. One user even reported that their device could not be switched on or restored via a computer, leaving it effectively unusable.
It is therefore advisable not to update your iPad for now, especially if you have an iPad Pro with the M4 chip. Apple is expected to release a fix soon to address the issue.
