In a surprising turn of events, Apple has suspended the rollout of its iOS 17.3 beta 2 update following reports from several users about their iPhones becoming inoperable, or ‘bricked’, after installing the new software. This issue has raised concerns among the tech community and users alike, as Apple prides itself on the reliability and user-friendliness of its products.
The company swiftly responded to these reports with an official statement, acknowledging that the iOS 17.3 beta 2 version had caused startup issues for a “small number of devices”. Industry experts speculate that the problem may be linked to the Back Tap gesture feature. Interestingly, the issue seems to predominantly affect users who had previously disabled this feature, leading to a failure in the bootup process.
Apple’s response to this situation has been proactive. The company has provided clear instructions for those affected, outlining a relatively straightforward fix. Users are advised to put their devices into Recovery Mode and revert to the previous iOS version. This approach is expected to resolve the issue for the majority of those impacted.
The tech giant also reassured users that it is diligently working on a more stable release of the iOS 17.3 update. Until then, Apple has urged caution and recommended that users avoid installing the beta version. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with beta software, which, by its very nature, is not yet fully tested and may contain bugs.
