9.7-inch iPad Pro Bricking After iOS 9.3.2 Update

Since several users reported the very same issue right after the update, there can only be one conclusion -- that the new iOS version is certainly problematic, at least for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro devices.

Apple just recently released the iOS 9.3.2 that came with several bug fixes for the company's line of mobile devices. But the biggest story out of this update is several owners have reported that their 9.7-inch Apple iPad Pro was bricked right after installation. Accordingly, an "Error 56" appears, which then tells the user to connect the device to iTunes.

According to a Phone Arena report, the support document Apple provides for the device explains that an "Error 56" warning is actually a hardware issue, with the installation of the latest iTunes version as the recommended solution. The manual also says that the user needs to double check if there are any problems with third-party security apps or software.

But since several users reported the very same issue right after the update, there can only be one conclusion – that the new iOS version is certainly problematic, at least for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro devices.

For those who haven't installed iOS 9.3.2 at this moment, it's best to avoid doing so, at least for now. There seems to be no quick fix that can restore the device back to its old version of the iOS, so the most probable solution is for Apple to immediately release a new software fix or update.

As per Digital Trends, not every user of the device is experiencing the issue, which means some have pushed through with the update without seeing their tablet devices getting bricked. With more than enough complaints, it shouldn't be a surprise if Apple comes up with a patch sooner than later.

When a device is bricked, it essentially becomes inoperable and useless. Even other brands and operating systems suffer from this issue, and Apple is no stranger to its devices bricking, having dealt with the same issue in their iPhone smartphones in the past.

Even with the kind of sophisticated technology used in building patches and updates for mobile devices, it just shows that there still is room for improvement since issues like this are randomly popping out.
