Apple does not usually have issues with its software program replace rollouts, although it is making them accessible to all gadgets on the similar time and never releasing them in phases like different corporations do. However when it does run into points, hardly ever as that could be, mentioned points are huge.
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 resulting from a number of stories of bricked iPads following the replace.
Bricking means the system is not useful, so clearly that is as dangerous a state of affairs as could 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.
In fact that is solely a handful of individuals encountering these points, nevertheless it’s ‘higher protected than sorry’ for Apple on this case, therefore why it is presently stopped the rollout. The problem individuals encountered with the M4 iPad Professional could 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.
