Apple has temporarily halted the rollout of iPadOS 18 for the M4 iPad Pro after receiving multiple reports of devices becoming bricked following the update. This is a significant setback for Apple, which is known for its smooth software update rollouts.
Unlike other companies that release updates in stages, Apple typically makes new software available to all compatible devices simultaneously. While this approach often results in a seamless experience, it can also lead to widespread issues if problems arise.
Affected users have reported that the installation process was interrupted, resulting in iPads that would not turn on. Some have taken to social media to express their frustration and disappointment.
While the number of reported cases is relatively small, Apple has decided to pause the rollout as a precautionary measure.It’s possible that the issue may be linked to installing iPadOS 17.7 before updating to iPadOS 18. However, this is still speculation at this time.
Apple is currently investigating the matter and is expected to resume the rollout once the issue is resolved.
