I updated my iPad Pro M4 to iOS 18. It did not go well, the iPad won't turn on, hard reset doesn't work and it doesn't show up on my Mac. I've booked it in for a repair.
Has anyone else had the same issue?
Is there anything else I can try?
thanks in advance.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17
I took mine into the Genius Bar tonight only to have it confirmed that the iPad is well and truly dead. The guy said that he had never seen it before but said it couldn't possibly be the update. If only he knew that as he was telling me this that apple were pulling the update from the M4 iPad Pros.
He said it has to be sent off for more testing and that a replacement will be sent out with in 14 days time. It's pretty annoying that the update breaks your iPad and then you have to wait 2 weeks for a replacement.
I should have stuck to my normal ethos and waited before doing the update.
From the other reports I’ve read you’ll need to book it in with Apple and likely need a new unit.
How did you manage to downgrade? Mine is completely unresponsive.
I would like to know the steps in doing so Mine so far is unresponsive
How to unbrick it and downgrade?
All the information you need is in the responses above.
If you've just got a black screen and it's completely unresponsive then it's dead and you'll need to go into the Apple Store to get a replacement. It can't be fixed via the USB-C port at home.
Did you finally get it back to normalcy?? Did they give you a replacement???
my Ipad also got bricked and of course it was because of updating to iPad iOS 18, as the iPad was functioning perfectly just before updating
I just updated to the latest update today (11/22) and have no issues (at least not yet).
iPadOS 18 bricked my iPad M4
