Apple Pulls iPadOS 18 for M4 iPad Pro After Bricking Complaints [Updated]

Apple stopped signing the iPadOS 18 update for the M4 iPad Pro models, which means the new software is no longer available to be downloaded and...

Mine updated to 18 without me knowing as I checked to stop it updating. Luckily mine was fine but quite a few people have been posting on Reddit about it.
 
Any of you who have had the M4 iPad for a while now - have you experienced any overheating issues?

If you haven't seen me complaining on here before, the M2 iPad cannot run Adobe Lightroom in any meaningful way without overheating and the screen dimming. It's partly poor software optimization from Adobe but the cooling setup in the M2 iPad is pathetic. In fact you can't even fast charge it without the screen dimming.

Are these issues sorted with the new one?

There have been some reports of on Reddit of M4 overheating using procreate or lightroom. I cannot confirm this as I do not use either.

Although a few users have said that Adobe have fixed this with with a recent update.

Mine was fine through the betas and ok on the release version. Wonder what’s caused this?

It’s been solid in release version as well, no niggles like in some of the early betas.
 
Got one of these last week week from the wife, the 13" model.
Replacing my 2018 12" Pro, and it's a little underwhelming for my use case (basic procreate drawing, and web/media consumption).

I already thought the old 2018 model seemed like it would be fragile, if not in a case. This one feels like a small breeze would fold it. I thought Apple had stopped with the relentless pursuit of thin over function? :'(
Thought about picking up the keyboard and trying to use it as my main work machine, but every video shows it being extremely top heavy. :/
 
just ordered a 256GB iPad Air M2 11 inch to replace the 64GB Air Gen 4 that my daughter uses. She was forever running out of space for her games (yes, I know, how) and to be fair, it is a minor miracle it still works considering it is no longer flat.

Slightly annoying that this AI crap takes up over 5GB of space, even when disabled..

as long as it is actually disabled I can live with it. I might actually just pay for the terabyte of onboard storage when i order my M4 in the new year just so I don't have to worry about storage so much.

it would have been nice if you could just opt to remove the components though - it can't be that hard given that it's just glorified chatGPT.

When i installed the OS update, i stupidly went into the settings and manually downloaded the AI and now the OS takes up over 17GB of space of my 64GB of storage. But even after i have disabled it, it still persists on the storage. If i do i factory refresh i may get rid of it, hmm..
