Appreciate your story, you are well spoken and I will look to see if you cover other mac topics that I want to read. Good luck building the channel!

They do mention not to install beta version of IOS on your main machine, as it is not a finished stable version

I also have the iPadOS 18 Beta on the exact same iPad Pro M2 and I have considered downgrading because the update was well... underwhelming. I was expecting more. And there were a few crashes here and there. But the point is, if the bugs are mere annoyances and don't make the device entirely unusable, DO NOT DOWNGRADE. Downgrading is RISKIER than upgrading, period. You are better off just waiting for the public beta than downgrading. And hey, you can enjoy the new features without installing pesky stuff from Internet. I have considered downgrading and using my backup, but when I saw the whole process, I changed my mind.

Hey man, just wanna let you know that if you’re doing iPadOS 18 beta versions or iOS or macOS or visionOS you gotta be more aware about these betas. If you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into don’t download it. I know you wanna try out some features. I know you wanna try out like we do, but there’s just too much of a risk for people like you because it’s like you said you download it on your iPad and it just malfunction and it was not working anymore. I’m glad you got your new iPad but to be honest with you if you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into with these iPadOS iOS, beta version then I wouldn’t download it.

I appreciate you saying this. I have tested betas for a couple years now, and know what I'm getting myself into. I made the video to let other people know what may happen if they try the same thing. Thank you though!

Bro it's just the beta version so it might have some obvious issues

[@AlexSteiner]

I had the same issue. Putting the device into the deep DFU mode and doing the restore fixed my issue and a lot of others too (from a reddit thread). Entering DFU mode takes a lot of tries but is possible even from the recovery mode.

[@MIBProductionsAL]

I will have that idea saved for future reference.. thank you!

[@mitcharbiter3371]

Did you have enough free space on your iPad storage? I've read (and experienced) borked upgrades and downgrades over the years where insufficient storage space was the issue. Oh and always listen to your parents. :)

[@MIBProductionsAL]

Man, that probably is pretty important to pay attention to. As far as I know, I had sufficient storage however I didn't fully pay attention. And will do!

[@polytrave]

thats crazy. i think the issue could be fixed with changing our the memory but its just easier to replace the ipad as a whole. if you wanna mess with operating systems its so important to be covered so thank god you had apple care

[@Ronzaigu]

something like this happened to me one time, I had an iPhone 11 with a beta version of iOS 17, I bought an iPhone 14 Pro, set it up and when it prompted me to update the phone to the beta, it got stuck partially setup. It was impossible to shut it down, entre recovery mode, or even connect it to a computer. I took the iPhone back to the store and they offered me a new one, I then waited for a stable version of iOS 17 to release and updated the new iPhone. After that I successfully transferred my data to the new one.

[@MIBProductionsAL]

Wow! Yeah I tell you, the betas are fun to use but they can cause some issues for sure!

[@Chickenthoefvola]

I’ll never use the beta versions thanks cause i dont have apple care id be fucked

[@OO-vh3qp]

"ideally going to Apple Store is my last resort " why is it so hard to just go to the apple store.. "I'm 16 years old..."..wait what.. 😂you look way older than 16

[@MIBProductionsAL]

It's mainly just because it's inconvenient with the distance. And also yeah, I get told I look older pretty often 😂
