Apple would not typically have issues with its software program replace rollouts, though it is making them obtainable to all units on the identical time and never releasing them in phases like different firms do. However when it does run into points, hardly ever as which may be, mentioned points are massive.
Living proof: MacRumors is reporting that the rollout of iPadOS 18 for the M4 iPad Professional, which began yesterday, has now been halted by Apple as a result of a number of experiences of bricked iPads following the replace.
Bricking means the system is not useful, so clearly that is as unhealthy a scenario as might be. Some individuals have taken to Reddit to voice their frustration, detailing how there was an interruption within the set up course of resulting in iPads that simply would not activate anymore. Affected customers wanted to get a substitute iPad, as no servicing was attainable.
After all that is solely a handful of individuals encountering these points, but it surely’s ‘higher secure than sorry’ for Apple on this case, therefore why it is at present stopped the rollout. The difficulty individuals encountered with the M4 iPad Professional might have been linked to putting in the iPadOS 17.7 replace first, earlier than then going to iPadOS 18. That is simply hypothesis, nonetheless. Hopefully Apple will resolve issues very quickly and resume the rollout.
