Apple pauses iPadOS 18 for M4 iPad Pro after bricking complaints

Apple has temporarily stopped the rollout of iPadOS 18 for M4 iPad Pro models following reports that the update was bricking devices.

The company acknowledged the issue in a statement to Engadget, explaining that a "small number of devices" were affected and that it is working on a fix.

The problem was first highlighted on Reddit, where users described their iPads becoming unusable during the update process. Apple has since halted the update for M4 iPad Pro owners and is working to resolve the issue, though it's unclear when the fix will be available.
