Trying to upgrade to Apple’s latest iOS might render your iPad useless instead.
Did iOS 18 brick your M4 iPad Pro? You’re not alone.
Some users attempting to take advantage of the new features offered by Apple’s latest iOS instead found themselves with unusable devices. After one Reddit user reported that their M4 iPad Pro wouldn’t turn on after installing iOS 18, several other users reported the same experience. Apple reportedly couldn’t repair these devices and offered the users a replacement.
ARSTechnica, which first reported this issue, notes that this indicates a pretty serious bug as you can usually restore a device with recovery mode.
