While hand flying the turn from base to final; my iPad became unresponsive when attempting to switch Jepp FD Pro view from the STAR chart to the approach chart for the ILS 27 approach. The display then blanked and the iPad became completely unresponsive; a state in which it remains hours later. Due to the daytime VMC conditions; having already briefed the approach; and my familiarity with the airport; I continued the approach and landing. The FO (First Officer) suggested giving me his iPad; but at this late stage of the approach I considered it the safest option to continue to the landing without transferring his iPad. The landing; roll out and taxi in to the gate was uneventful. Had this event occurred at night; in IMC; or at an unfamiliar airport a go-around would have been required in order to brief our new plan for operating with limited information for one pilot; and planning the subsequent flight operations and taxi would have been much more difficult without any back-up paper charts to help.
B757 Captain reported failure of Electronic Flight Bag on final approach.
