My iPad 4 won’t turn on and is stuck on a startup loop. I connected it to my macbook and tried to restore it, however it says I need to install the update on my iPad before I can restore it, and I can’t install the update due to low storage.

Hello KorynAguon,
Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with updating your iPad due to low storage space. Try the steps listed here to see if they resolve the issue with storage so that you can complete the process: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't update - Apple Support
"If there's not enough space to update
If there isn't enough space to download and install an update, the software on your device will try to make space. It will remove only app data that it can download again and doesn't remove or relocate any of your data. If your device still doesn't have enough space, you can use your computer to update your device.
If you can't connect your device to your computer, you can make room for the update by removing content and apps on your device that you don't use. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage.
Learn more about the space your apps and content use."
"Remove and download the update again
If you still can't install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, try downloading the update again:
If you don't see the update in the list of apps or if the issue happens again, you need to update your device with your computer:
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
