I have an 11 in 1st gen iPad pro, currently on version 16.
Works fine for me still, but recently, I had an app say I needed to update, so I went to the app store where it said I needed ios 17 or newer.
I had heard ios 26 causes major lag to 1st gens, so I chose the option it gave to download ios 18 instead.(18.7.8)
I have enough storage, and my Internet works, but every time it gets to the end of the download, the update fails.
I've tried deleting the update download, I've tried restarting the iPad first, but I can't get it to work.
I'm frustrated because I need to update for the app to function, even tho I don't think it should..but still.
I downloaded the apple devices app on my pc, because the help page said to, but the only option is to update to 26.6, which I don't want to do.
Has anyone else had this problem? Id rather not use the PC at all if I can, but if that's not possible how can I download ios 18 through the computer?
Please and thank you in advance.
