Word of warning to anyone with an older iPad who gets a prompt to update to iPadOS 17.7.7.

Don’t do it!

Although it claims to deliver security updates, there are so many bugs that apps like online banking and games become unusable, features like Safari Favourites bar disappear, and battery life gets hammered.

Apple have been told about this, and hopefully will put a fix in place.

If you’re running iPadOS 18, you’re fine.
