Apple has pulled the iPadOS 18 update for iPad Pro M4 models after it affected some users' tablets. Those who have already downloaded the update will not be able to install it, as the company has stopped signing it, causing verification to fail. However, users of non-M4 models can proceed with the update as normal, as the bug does not appear to affect them.
It's worth noting that bricked iPad Pro M4 owners cannot restore their operating system using a computer, as tablets are not responding to any form of input. Instead, they will have to visit an Apple Store and request a replacement, a process that can take several days.
In its statement to MacRumors, Apple said: “We have temporarily suspended the iPad 18 update for the M4 iPad Pro models, as we are working to resolve an issue affecting a small number of devices».

At this time, it's unclear exactly when Apple will fix the bug and re-release iPadOS 18 for iPad Pro M4 users. Those who don't want to wait can download and install iPadOS 18.1 beta 4 — provided they don't mind the potential glitches and inconsistencies that may be contained in these pre-release builds.
