iPad Pro slow charging after iPad OS 18.0 update.

Since updating my iPad Pro 12.9 6th gen to iPad OS 18.0 charging has become extremely slow, to such a extent that it’s not really usable anymore.

On iPad OS 17 I could get a full charge from approx 10% in about 90 minutes but now it’s taking about 6-7 hours to get upto approx 50%.

Apple has done a remote health check and that come back all ok.

I’m using the genuine 20w charger but using a third party high speed USB-C cable (standard cable too short) but have tried the genuine cable too and there’s no change.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

I have tried to download OS18.01 on my older 4 yr old iPad Pro on Oct 30, 2024 and it has been bricked. So apparently OS18 hasn't been fixed. My iPad should have been able to except it according to the specs that Apple posted.... Thanks Apple for killing my iPad Pro just after the warranty was up. Also please stop pushing Updates when there are problems. I waited a month and a half to download whatever was in my queue. Screen flashed went black and froze on the logo screen until the battery drained. It wouldn't recognize a charging cable or turn off. Forcing me to purchase a new one? There was nothing wrong with the one I had, it ran beautifully.
