Apple issues urgent fix for iOS 18 problems: Touchscreen unresponsive, iMessage crashes, iPad Pro bricked

Reliable sources have revealed that Apple is internally testing an iOS 18.0.1 update aimed at fixing several issues that emerged in the recent iOS 18 release. The update, expected to be rolled out to iPhone users by the end of next week, will address touchscreen problems encountered by iPhone 16 series and some older models, as well as iMessage app crashes.

iPhone 16 series touchscreen unresponsive: Overly sensitive anti-mistouch algorithm?

Recently, many iPhone 16 series users have reported that their screens become unresponsive after the initial touch response, making subsequent operations impossible. Experts believe this issue might stem from an overly sensitive anti-mistouch algorithm in iOS 18. When the palm detection feature is activated, the phone may completely reject any touch input, hindering normal operation.

iMessage app crashes: Sharing Apple Watch faces triggers issues

Besides touchscreen issues, iOS 18 also exhibits a problem related to the iMessage app. Some users encounter repeated crashes of the iMessage application while sharing Apple Watch faces, rendering it unusable. The upcoming update aims to rectify this issue, ensuring smooth sharing of Apple Watch faces.

iPadOS 18 update bricks M4 iPad Pro: Apple swiftly withdraws update

Following the official release of iPadOS 18, a concerning issue surfaced: M4 iPad Pro models experience bricking after the update. Users report that their M4 iPad Pro devices become black screened and unresponsive after upgrading to iPadOS 18. This problem has been reported on multiple platforms both domestically and internationally, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Reddit.

Facing this emergency situation, Apple has swiftly withdrawn the iPadOS 18 update for M4 iPad Pro models and is actively investigating the cause of the issue to quickly implement a solution. Users are strongly advised to exercise caution before upgrading to iPadOS 18 to avoid similar problems.

The upcoming iOS 18.0.1 update will address these issues, providing users with a more stable and seamless experience. Users are recommended to promptly update their devices to enjoy the improved system performance.
