How can I fix my frozen iPad after iPadOS 18.3 update? Just tried installing 18.3 update on my iPad via Apple Devices app on my PC. iPad screen froze about 1/4 along Apple logo. When I switch iPad off and on it always returns to Apple Devices app where only options are update or restore. Both fail with error 1109 and end with Apple logo and frozen status bar so I am in a vicious circle and cannot restart iPad. Is there any way out of this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
