Apple’s latest iPadOS 18 update for the iPad Pro M4 has reportedly caused issues for some users, with many experiencing their devices becoming unresponsive or “bricked” after the update. The term “matot” (mati total, or completely dead) is being used by affected users to describe how their iPad Pro M4 has stopped functioning entirely following the installation of the update.
This issue has left users frustrated as their devices fail to turn on or respond to any commands, rendering them unusable. Reports indicate that the problem arises shortly after the update is installed, with some users unable to even access recovery mode to attempt a fix.
Apple has yet to officially address the situation, but tech forums and social media have been flooded with complaints from iPad Pro M4 owners. While the issue seems to primarily affect this model, it’s unclear if other iPad versions running iPadOS 18 are also impacted.
For now, affected users are advised to avoid installing the iPadOS 18 update until Apple releases a fix or offers a solution. If your device is already unresponsive, it is recommended to contact Apple Support for assistance or visit an authorized service center.
This situation has sparked concerns about the stability of Apple’s software updates, as users expect smooth performance and reliable updates on their high-end devices. A patch or further clarification from Apple is anticipated in the coming days.
