Now, Apple has also introduced iPadOS 18.0.1 for those affected M4 iPads, as reported by MacRumors.

The iOS 18.0.1 update is primarily aimed at resolving an issue with the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro touchscreens becoming temporarily unresponsive. In addition to this, the update also includes a fix for a specific problem that causes the camera to freeze when recording a macro mode video on the ultrawide camera of the iPhone 16 Pro under certain conditions.
Other issues addressed by the iOS 18.0.1 update
The iOS 18.0.1 update also tackles an issue where Messages app may crash when replying to a message with a shared Apple Watch face. It addresses a performance problem related to memory allocation on some iPhone models, according to Apple's patch notes for the update. These comprehensive fixes aim to enhance user experience and device functionality across various iPhone models including the latest iPhone 16 series.
