Apple Withdraws iOS 17.3 Beta Due to Boot Loop Issue
The problem, which rendered some iPhones useless, was more likely to occur if the Back Tap feature was activated.
- Apple has withdrawn the second developer beta of iOS 17.3 due to a boot loop issue that rendered some iPhones useless.
- The problem was more likely to occur if the iPhone had the Back Tap feature activated.
- Users who installed the problematic update can recover their device by entering Recovery Mode and restoring a previous version of iOS.
- The public beta version, expected to land a day after the developer beta, has not appeared and there's no comment from Apple on when it might reappear.
- The issues may delay the general release of iOS 17.3, currently expected later in January or early February.
