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  • Apple has withdrawn the second developer beta of iOS 17.3 due to a boot loop issue that rendered some iPhones useless.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.
