How do I update an out-of-charge iPad with charging issues after iPadOS 27.0.1 update?

Ok it now appears that a new update was released to fix bugs in iOS 27.0.1. My question is. Now that our iPads are completely out of charge due to the charging issues, how do we update them? There is absolutely no way to turn them on.

If the battery is currently discharged, connect it to its Power Adapter and allow the iPad to recharge, undisturbed, for 24-36hrs.


The vast majority of iPads that have encountered the iPadOS 27/27.0.1 charging issue will slowly charge if they remain connected to their Power Adapter, undisturbed, for 24-36hrs. Ironically, if you have a "basic" USB Type-A Power Adapter, this may charge and recover the iPad to a running state - from which it can be updated - somewhat quicker than a USB-C Power Adapter.
