On iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, iPod Touch, and Apple TV devices, the boot ROM is called "SecureROM" [8] It is a stripped-down version of iBoot. It provides a Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mechanism, which can be activated using a special button combination. [9]
[5] [6] [7] If iBoot fails to load or fails to verify iOS, iPadOS or macOS, the bootloader jumps to DFU (Device Firmware Update) [8] mode; otherwise it loads the remaining kernel modules. [2] [9] Once the kernel and all drivers necessary for booting are loaded, the boot loader starts the kernel’s initialization procedure.
A power-on self-test (POST) is a process performed by firmware or software routines immediately after a computer or other digital electronic device is powered on. [1] POST processes may set the initial state of the device from firmware and detect if any hardware components are non-functional.
DFU may refer to the following: ... Device Firmware Upgrade mechanism, for USB devices; Diabetic foot ulcer; Drain fixture unit, a unit of measure in plumbing

The iPad (6th generation) [4] (also referred to as the iPad 9.7-inch [5]) is a tablet computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced on March 27, 2018, during an education-focused event at Lane Tech High School in Chicago [6] and is the successor to the fifth-generation iPad, upgraded with the Apple A10 Fusion processor and support for styluses such as Apple Pencil.

This is achieved by only transferring the differences between the old firmware and the new firmware, rather than transmitting the entire firmware. A delta of the old and new firmware is produced through a process called diffing; then, the delta file is distributed to the end-device, which uses the delta file to update itself. [8]
According to the Apple white paper, iOS includes a Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode, and that "[r]estoring a device after it enters DFU mode returns it to a known good state with the certainty that only unmodified Apple-signed code is present." [14]
