iOS 17.3 Beta 2 Update Bricking Some iPhones
A range of iPhone models affected, but a fix is available for users experiencing the issue.
- The latest iOS 17.3 beta 2 update is reportedly causing some iPhones to enter an infinite reboot loop during installation, effectively 'bricking' the devices.
- The issue seems to affect a range of iPhone models, from the iPhone 12 onwards, but not all users are experiencing the problem.
- Users can recover their iPhones by downloading a previous beta version of iOS 17.3, putting the device into recovery mode, and then restoring the iPhone.
- Third-party software tools, such as iMazing, can facilitate restores without erasing all the data off the device first.
- Apple is expected to pull the problematic update and replace it with a corrected version.
