Apple confirms iPad Pro charging problem, a fix is on the way

KitGuru Says: Apple isn’t new to making tablets at this point, so it is a little odd to see such a major issue affecting early iPad Pro buyers. But unlike “Bendgate” or ‘Chipgate, ‘ the issue that customers are running into with their iPad Pros isn’t entirely trivial. Multiple users have reported the same issue after their iPad Pro’s screen stopped responding every time the device was recharged.

Apple isn’t ignoring the problem and has issued a temporary fix on the support website – but it seems to just be turn it on and off again.

This concept of iPad Pro being the newest version of an iPad needed more publicity than other Apple devices in order to build its credibility for new product niches. It’s backed with a series of moving ticks that senses the applied pressure when users touch and drag the stylus tip across the iPad Pro’s screen. Apple added that it is aware of the issue and is now investigating the cause behind the widespread phenomenon.

Subsequently, the user complained, “At night it was down to 40% so I charged it and went to bed. When I woke up it was ‘dead.’ I couldn’t wake it up”, wrote one user, identified only as Darkfire. While you can check out the video itself, we are going to let you know of a few of the things that have been found here.

Of course, the luxury of being able to use your phone while it’s charging dates back well before modern-day smartphones, so such a “fix” is sure to leave affected Nexus 5X owners quite unhappy.

Long back in 1997 Jobs discontinued Newton immediately which was a tablet-like device that came along with stylus. The Pro features a stereo speaker at each of the four corners, which delivers remarkably powerful bass for a tablet and will automatically adjust its balance when you change the device’s orientation. But if you’re willing to buy it to make the most out of your iPad Pro, you have only two choices right now – wait at least a month, or pay a huge premium to get the accessory ASAP.
