➀ Apple has quietly withdrawn the iOS 18 update for iPads; ➁ Users reported their iPads bricked after updating; ➂ Apple acknowledged the issue and removed the update for M4 iPad Pros.

1. Apple has confirmed that users in the EU will be able to install apps from third-party app stores on iPads starting September 16, the same day as the release of iPadOS 18. 2. This move follows the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and is a significant step for Apple in Europe, as it allows sideloading on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. 3. Apple was given six months to ensure iPadOS compliance with DMA, and this change will benefit users by providing more app choices.
