iPad Pro 10.5" continually reboots after 13.4.1 update.

I honestly am fed up. I couldn't device my iPad Pro for two months. It's my MAIN reading device; it affected my workflow. I'm disgusted. I expected more from a company that puts quality first. I paid my hard-earned money on the device, apps and books I bought from its store. They made my experience bad.

Not much.

A small footnote of an article mentioned in some obscure sort of tech news blog I never heard of.

And they way that article was written only indicated several users affected with this issue.

No hundreds or thousands of users affected was mentioned or written.

I wouldn't bank on Apple doing anything when only one minority article mentions a very, VERY small minority ( niche ) of iPad Pro users are affected by this issue.

Such a small article in an obscure tech news blog is NOT going to get Apple to do anything.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix from Apple, for this boot loop issue, either.

I am sorry to learn that this was a futile attempt.

However, you already know that Apple does not read any postings here.

So, if you need to vent, use the iPad feedback page to do so.

Someone from Apple DOES read and disseminates all info from the feedback pages to who/mever it needs to go to.

Sorry.

Thanks Steve for the update. I am returning mine under the pretence of batterie replacement for diagnostic, already paid 175$ for that… I’m wondering if it’s the right thing to do at this point. I hoping it’s going to help diagnose the problem but I fear that it will be just shoved as a repair…

Please keep us update on your end.

Good!

I really hope that Apple engineers can solve this issue for those minority iPad Pro users having this boot loop issue.

Some 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro users are having this boot loop issue, as well.

So, in the end, I hope a fix or solution is reached very soon!

Best of Luck to You with Apple.

Well I've got news from apple today about my device. First the guy on the phone was kinda rude and condescending. Then it ended up that my only option is return my device unrepaired, paying for a 600$ replacement or getting a new one.

I am very frustrated. They got my device this morning and they gave these options in the afternoon, so evidently there is no effort to diagnose the problem… just have to pay more since I'm out of warranty. We are far from the level of quality we expect from apple.

Very frustrated and disappointed.

I would say a majority of people on this forum have been through all of the above steps, myself 3 times. To no avail. Only reply is “send iPad to us for repair, at a cost”. Until Apple acknowledge that update 13.4 was at fault for some of the iPad Pro’s to start the continuous reboot fault. I feel the only solution would be to have deep pockets and purchase a new iPad.

Having to purchase another replacement or new iPad is really no solution and you purchased a lesser iPad model because of it!

Apple needs to “fess up” to this issue as this is clearly caused by some sort of combination of both software and hardware that is NOT the users’ fault.

Throwing more money at this issue ( which most people cannot afford to always do ) does not fix or solve this catastrophic problem.

Any year or model iPad Pro is/was a very expensive device to purchase just to have it completely bricked or made totally useless by an Apple software upgrade/update.

This is clearly one of many issues the with either iPads/iPad Pro and/or iPadOS, that have been currently occurring.

Touch screen issues, boot loop issues and severe battery drain issue with iPadOS updates.

All of these together are not just isolated incidents!

Apple has issues with iOS/iPadOS 13 that do not seem to be being addressed or not being addressed in a timely manner.

I thought the recently introduced iOS/iPadOS 14 was going to be more of a maintenance, bug fix release with very few, if any, new features.

It appears Apple has, once again, made iOS/iPadOS 14 another “new feature” release.

Apple needs to concentrate on fixing all of the bugs that keep constantly appearing now in iPadOS 13 and stop blaming it on iOS device hardware issues.

I have a IPAD PRO 10.5 WIFI 64 GB Version. After updating to IPADOS 13 my IPAD died so I restored to 12.4.1 .

Recently I accidentally updated my ipad and my IPAD is dead now. Since Apple does not sign 12.4.1 anymore I am stuck with a dead IPAD now.

This is ridiculous that I loose my IPAD for no fault of mine. Apple please stop providing updates if you are going to kill our devices which are out of warranty.

I'm experiencing this same issue on my 2nd gen 10.5" iPad Pro (iPad in flawless condition began shutting down on its own immediately after updating from 13.3.1 to 13.4.1, then 13.5.1; this continues even after restoring to factory settings). After a while, my iPad would no longer turn back on with just the power button, and I had to do hard resets to turn it back on at every time it shut down. Now, my iPad will now no longer turn on at all—even with a hard reset—unless I let it it sit for days. Then, it *sometimes* turns back on with a hard reset (holding the buttons down for a LONG time) but almost always shuts back down right away. Majorly frustrating.

At this point, I don't know if I'd even be able to keep my iPad on long enough to update the iOS.

I'm still experiencing the same problem. This is unique to iPad Pro 10.5".
