Apple Pulls iPadOS 18 For M4 iPad Pro After Bricking Complaints (macrumors.com)

(Tuesday September 17, 2024 @11:30PM (BeauHD) from the not-so-fast dept.)


Apple's iPadOS 18 update is [1]no longer available after some iPad Pro owners found that it bricked their devices. MacRumors reports:

> There are [2]reports on Reddit from iPad Pro users who had an interruption in the installation process, leading to an iPad that refused to turn on. A total replacement was required for affected users. Not all M4 iPad Pro owners have had an issue installing the update, and it could be linked to installing the new iOS 17.7 update before installing iOS 18. Apple will make the software available again when the underlying problem has been addressed.

If you don't want to risk breaking your equipment, you shouldn't be a beta tester.

Declining Apple (Score:2, Flamebait)

As a long time iPhone user, it is sad to see the continued decline of Apple.

4 generations of iPhone that you can layout in a row and most people unable to see much difference between them. And now this. Didn't Apple *test* their software before rolling out?

For the past 10 years, it is almost a no-brainer to install the latest iOS updates as soon as available. Zero maintenance effort for all the Apple devices in the family is *the* reason I kept buying Apple. If their quality declined to a point where I
