iPadOS 18.0.1 Now Available for M4 iPad Pro Models After Pulled Update

I've been waiting for this update for a long time. I'm glad it finally came out. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
 
Maybe better to wait for a few days at least before updating M4 iPads. Hopefully the issue is now fixed.

Had not a single issue on my iPad Pro M4 - not a single software issue since I got it, so pondering why only "certain" hardware had this issue instead of either all or none as they use the same hardware.

Luck of the draw, I suppose. I am also one of those who updated his M4 iPad Pro on day 1 (right before leaving for work too) and have had no issues thus far.

We may never really get a full explanation on this either.

Ok can anyone advise why Safari isn’t working properly now after the update.

Previously when I clicked + to open a new tab it opened a new Google search page, but now it opens a page which displays my Favourites, suggestions etc….
 
Installed fine on my m4 pro 11" which was on 17.7. I'm in return period so lived dangerously lol
 
I'm probably gonna wait until 18.1 then update my iPP M4, iPad Air 3 and 4 in one go.
 
I’ve been on 18 just fine for a couple of weeks. About to jump to 18.0.1. See you all on the other side! :)

Update: I’m back! Completely uneventful update from 18.0.0 to 18.0.1 on an 11” M4.

It’s neither temporary nor permanent. They should have said they are pulling the update until a fix is available. Temporarily implies hours or days, not weeks.

Temporarily could be months; it just means they wait for it. They temporarily removed the update; there is no timetable.
 
As a service technician, I have always wondered why an update would cause some units to fail and others not. What combo of hardware and software config would cause that?

I'd love to know.

I’m sure that’s exactly what the software engineers at Apple were wondering as well.

It’s a game of variables, and a bricking problem emerging after a general release suggests a very low-probability combination of variables would be the culprit, otherwise it would’ve shown up during the smaller pool of beta testers. Sometimes a one-in-a-million error requires a million installations before it starts showing up.

I've never had any glitches with updates for any of my iOS devices. Either I'm lucky or doing something right. :)

There's no middle ground between temporary and permanent; it's one or the other. Temporary, by definition, means not permanent, nothing more, nothing less. YOU implied hours or days, based on who knows what. Apple never gave any indication of a timeline, so anything other than never is by definition temporary.
 
Wish someone would explain how one can install anything on bricked tablet? Can't happen so my guess is the term "bricked" is being misused.
 
Well I waited long enough. :)

On my iPad 11 inch M4 I had 17.7 installed and just updated to 18.0.1 without issue. Whew!

First thing I noticed was how fast the iPad is now. It seems so much faster then before. I only used it for about ten minutes.

I think upgrading to a new major iOS clears out cache or something as my old 2018 iPad Pro 11 was lightning fast for about a day after upgrading to iOS 18 and then it slowed back down to the normal somewhat sluggish speeds it used to have.

I would expect the M4 to basically revert to the 17.7 speeds after a day or two.
 
Got this Unknown Part warning after updating my fairly new M4 iPad to 18.0.1. I do hope it's just a bug/glitch though. Admittedly, this is making me a wee bit frustrated I decided to update.

UPDATE: Restarted my iPad twice, and the warning is now gone. Most probably a bug.

I would contact Apple Support about it. As you said, it's probably a glitch but it could come up if you need it repaired.
