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’ve spent an hour with tech support at Apple regarding my bricked M4 pro following the update. They agree it can’t be fixed at home, there is no way to get it into recovery mode to do this. I need to send it back for a free repair or replacement. Apple have now pulled the update for these flag ship devices so it must be serious. Tech support indicated that in his experience it must have caused a hardware failure that their engineers are now looking into.
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 the iPad like mine is completely dead, none of the mentioned steps are working.
So the question is legitimate, how did he get it up again.
My Ipad pro M1 has flickering multiple black lines after the Ipad os 18 update, seems like the new OS is released without proper testing of the OS which is giving us these problems.

My issue is not that my m4 ipad pro is bricked but rather how Apple is handling this whole mess
What happened when you contacted Apple about it?
It wouldn’t let neither… it’s cold stone dead
Did you finally get it back to normalcy?? Did they give you a replacement???
I just updated to the latest update today (11/22) and have no issues (at least not yet).
I have the same issue on my 11 inch pro max. I installed 18.3 and now I can’t get the Apple logo the screen stays dark, won’t display.
iPadOS 18 bricked my iPad M4
