After the much-anticipated release of iPadOS 18, owners of the M4 iPad Pro model quickly found themselves grappling with a frustrating issue: the update had rendered their devices inoperable. Recognizing the problem, the company swiftly retracted the update, leaving users with the older version of the software. However, relief is finally at hand as the company has now rolled out iPadOS 18.0.1, targeting all iPad models, with a particular focus on the M4 iPad Pro featuring the OLED display.
For users affected by the previous hiccup, the iPadOS 18.0.1 is ready for download and installation via the Settings app. If you’re navigating this process for the first time or could use a refresher, simply head to Settings, tap on General, then Software Update, and follow the straightforward instructions to install this crucial update.
The company acknowledged the issue with a statement, saying, “We have temporarily removed the iPadOS 18 update for M4 iPad Pro models as we work to resolve an issue that is impacting a small number of devices.” A mere day after its initial release, the iOS 18 update was pulled back, leaving users awaiting a solution. The newly released version promises to resolve the bug that initially caused devices to malfunction.
This update not only addresses the bricking issue but also comes with a few other important fixes:
– A glitch where the Messages app might unexpectedly close when replying to a message that includes a shared Apple Watch face.
