Logitech combo touch doesn't work on my iPad Air 5th Gen

After updating my iPad Air (5th) to iOS 16.4, my Logitech Combo Touch keyboard and trackpad stopped working. Doesn’t light up, so no power. I updated the Logitech Controller app, cleaned the Smart Connector contacts, rebooted the iPad, same result.

I reached out to Logitech and followed their troubleshooting steps. Same result.

It’s pretty clear what’s responsible. It’s either the iPad or the iOS, but I’m guessing it’s no coincidence that the iOS update preceded this.

Anyone else having this issue?

I don’t have another iPad to connect it to. I don’t have a spare Logitech Combo Touch lying around, probably why I’m bringing this up.

After iOS 16, it stopped working. The Logitech app won’t load. I did what anyone else would do. I reached out to Logitech first. They are apparently fielding thousands of these complaints. That doesn’t seem like a coincidence.

Exactly the same has happened to me too. Worse, the update to iOS 16.4.1 happened overnight so I woke up to a dead keyboard with no idea what happened. Went through all the steps above. Soft resets. Power down and restarts. No joy.

Is there any way to revert to iOS 16.1.4?

Is there any way of knowing if Apple is aware?

If there are thousands of those complaints then it is probably not a coincidence. What is Logitech saying about this? I ask, because, the Logitech Combo Touch is their product.

I recommend that you connect your Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard to another qualified iPad and see whether it works OR if possible, connect your iPad to another Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard. That is probably the best way to determine which device is at fault. You did the troubleshooting recommended by Logitech, however, that did not work so it can be viewed as the Keyboard failing in this example.

I do not have access to either. Given that it happened right after the update I am going with the update.

iOS 16.1.4 do not exist. iOS 16.1.2 is succeeded by iOS 16.2.
