The next iPhone update is almost here. Apple iOS 17.3 contains an awesome new feature called Stolen Device Protection that I told you about a few days ago that can revolutionize the way iPhones are protected.
It is expected to be made public in the next two weeks. But if you downloaded the latest beta, you may have had a problem. Therefore, in today’s article we will see iOS 17.3 and iPhone not turning on problem. We’re going to see it!
In a surprising turn of events, Apple’s iOS 17.3 Beta 2 release has faced an unexpected setback. Hours after the initial release, the Cupertino tech giant quickly pulled the update due to boot loop issues Reported by users, many of them, when installing the beta version, encountered startup problems.
Hint
What’s wrong with iOS 17.3 Beta 2
Developers have been waiting with open arms for the beta, known for its early access to upcoming features and other improvements. However, shortly after installation, several users found themselves stuck in a boot loop, where the device continually tried to reboot without success.
Aware of the problem, Apple took quick action to prevent other users from experiencing the problem. Temporarily stopping distribution of iOS 17.3 Beta 2 and launching an investigation into the root cause of the boot loop.
First of all, it is important to mention that this version, the second developer beta, which arrived on Wednesday January 3, does not pose problems for all users, only for a few. But those affected discover that the installation of iOS 17.3 beta 2 turned your iPhones into an interesting and expensive brickstuck in a startup loop that never ends.
That’s the nature of beta software, of course, but it’s still very annoying if you find that your phone is suddenly locked. This appears to affect a range of iPhones starting with the iPhone 12.according to recent reports.
Some reports suggest that the iOS 17.3 boot loop bug could be related to the Back Tap setting. A log shared by a developer, Guilherme Rambo, who claims that a particular Back Tap feature triggers the boot loop, which ultimately causes the iPhone to crash.
What happens after installing the beta version
Normally, the public beta of iOS 17.3 software should follow about a day after the developer beta, but if the problem turns out to be widespread, it will likely be delayed. It’s even possible that the developer beta will be pulled until the issue is resolved.
iOS 17.3 beta 2 was expected to arrive with a notable security feature: Protecting Stolen Devicess with Apple Music’s collaborative playlists feature.
If you are affected by the buggy iOS 17.3 Beta 2 update and your iPhone is locked, You can try downloading IPSW iOS 17.3 Beta 1 on a Mac and entering recovery mode to restore IPSW.
This incident reminds us of the risks inherent in installing beta versions of operating systems. Beta releases, while providing early access to upcoming features, often come with bugs and unforeseen issues that can affect device performance.
The relaunch of a more stable version of iOS 17.3 Beta 2 will take place in the near future, it will take a few days, I don’t think anything more. Until then, users are advised to exercise caution and patience when Apple is working diligently to resolve the reported issue.
That’s why when acquaintances and friends ask me to install beta versions on their main devices, I always recommend them not to do so. Another thing is that you do it on a second device, but never on the main or work device.
What should we do
If you haven’t installed it yet, it’s highly advisable to wait a bit, lest you be one of the lucky few who suddenly find themselves having a brick instead of the iPhone. In all probability, Apple will replace this version with a new one with the issue smartly removed and resolved.
If so, then There is a solutionedited by 9to5Mac, which comes from the estimable Guilherme Rambo, cited above and the solution works like this:
- Download the previous beta version of iOS 17.3, which is iOS 17.3 beta 1 IPSW on your Mac.
- Connect your iPhone to your Mac, then put your iPhone into recovery mode: press volume up, then volume up, then press and hold the side button.
- Release it when you see the Recovery Mode screen. From here you can restore the previous IPSW.
You can do this in Finder, but will erase data from iPhone.
