"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."
"At some point during the update my iPad turned off, and would no longer turn on," a user named tcorey23 posted on Reddit. "I just took it to the Apple Store who confirmed it's completely bricked..."
"No one was particularly apologetic and they even insinuated that there was no way for them to know whether the update caused this," they wrote.
Having a software bug brick an iPad is rare. ArsTechnica, which first reported this story, pointed out that iPads can typically be put into recovery mode if a software update goes bad.
