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

There have now been many reports of charging issues with iPad9 subsequent to updating to iPadOS 27/27.0.1 - and as such, the growing weight of evidence suggests introduction of a software bug affecting the iPad's charge controller.

In the first instance, you would be well advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.

You can also initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to hands-on test and assess your iPad:

In addition, for all those impacted by this issue, you should submit a Bug Report via Apple's Product Feedback portal - as, until Apple receives a sufficient volume of reports, it may not assign resources to investigate and resolve the issue. For iPad and iPadOS:

When submitting a report, ensure that you include details of your iPad model and the installed version of iPadOS within the body pf the report. Don't rely on the pick-list alone as this may not include the most recent version of iPadOS.
