Apple suffered (not the first) a serious failure after releasing the update to iOS 17.3 (for iPhones) and iPadOS 17.3 (for iPads) in the Beta 2 version. The new system was supposed to bring new features and correct bugs, but it caused some problems. users into considerable problems.
The new iOS update broke some iPhones. There is a reaction from Apple
As he writes, among others: , users on forums and social media are warning that the new version of the system has entangled iPhones in the so-called bootloop, i.e. constantly repeated attempts to load the system. In such a situation, the smartphone is unable to complete the OS startup and repeats the attempt each time, which makes it completely useless. Some people only see a charging circle on their iPhone screens.
Interestingly, the problems occurred in most cases among users who use the Back Tap function, which allows you to quickly use some options by touching the back of the iPhone. Apple quickly responded to these reports and blocked the ability to download the update just three hours after the system was made available. The company also promises that it will analyze the causes of the error and re-release the system in version 17.3 after applying appropriate corrections. However, when this will happen has not been announced.
The problem only affects people who downloaded the system update in the second beta version, which is probably quite a small group of people registered for the beta testing program. Apple can therefore call itself lucky that the problem did not appear in the final (available to everyone) version of the software, but the company should have thoroughly checked the system to avoid such a mishap.
For now, it is not known what will happen to the smartphones of people who froze their iPhones while installing the update. It seems that currently the only way to fix the problem is to reset the smartphone to factory settings (using a computer) and then install a backup copy after the system starts. However, it seems that people who have not kept an up-to-date backup will lose data saved on their iPhones.
