After updating 9th gen iPad to iOS 27 it will not charge.
It had gone totally flat.
I’ve done numerous hard resets, using original charger and cable that has been tested and working.
Battery icon shows on screen with one red line, and it shows the charge cable has been plugged in.
iPad, iPadOS 27
I had the same issue, with the battery icon and single red bar, when I updated to iOS27 on my Gen 9. I was able to fix the issue, by using the Apple 20W charger in a wall socket. I plugged the Ipad in to the charger and left it alone. I did not try to reset it, start it, or anything else. I just left it alone. After about a day and a half on the charger, I pushed the power button to check it and I had 93 percent battery. It took that long for the battery and whatever else was going on to wake up. I kept it on the charger and got it to 100%. Ipad is working fine now, charging and staying charged. When I got it working, there was an update to iOS27 to fix bug issues. So Apple must be aware of it needing to be fixed.
Hi, thanks for your answer.
I meant to ask if it charges properly after the battery has completely depleted. With 27.0 it takes a few hours to get it to turn on once the ipad has been completely depleted.
Why did you brick our iPads? I can say with 100% certainty before this update my iPad was charging with no issues whatsoever. It’s the update that’s done something. How do we fix this? A real answer. It won’t charge at all. I’m worried it’s going to burn out from attempting to charge. Someone give actual practical advice on what to do please
That isn’t necessary as it’s charging normally. Even after it went dead flat again ( I fell asleep with it on) it charged to 100% overnight. Also my nearest ‘Apple Store’ is about a 4 hour drive away.
Glad, your iPad is charging again 🙂
It’s charging as normal now. Be interesting to see if the issue returns if it goes completely flat!

Apple should take responsibility for bricking older devices with their updates!
i agree
look at what they did to the iphone 5 :(
The same here iPad 9th gen. Doesn’t charge after iOS 27 update. Battery depleted and now shows red battery for a second and after that screen blinks trying to start up, but it couldn’t
Belay my last it isn’t charging when device is turned OFF. It did charge quickly when ON.
Son’s iPad turned into brick after IOS27 update. Overnight charging didn’t solve the issue. Apple’s service advised to recycle, cause warranty is over. Feels unfair
Exact same issue. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. contacted Apple support and now awaiting there response after telling them I’m going through consumer affairs
Was this fixed with 27.0.1? I have 15 iPads that are dead and more that will die, and I need to know if the update will fix this
Did you happen to try 27.01? Did it solve the problem?
Once it started charging again, it is working fine. When I did the update to fix bugs to version iOS27.0.1, it still is working fine, no issues so far. Charging, staying charged, etc.
But have you let it die again?
Update: after a battery replacement a week ago. The issue came back when I let the battery reach 0%, now it wont charge anymore so I'm sure it's not my battery issue. It's obviously software bug.
iPad 9th gen not charging after iOS 27 update.
