Apple Pay/Wallet not working after iOS 17.1.1 Software Update!

My iPhone 12 updated to iOS 17.1.1 overnight. Did some sort of data recovery process upon reboot but when it started up again I got a message saying there was an Apple Pay issue. Apple diagnosed remotely that there was an Apple Pay sensor issue, suggested I go to the local Apple Store to have the software re-installed. Rep there did not even offer to re-install, just went straight to needing a $465 CAD repair. Was a bit sassy with me when I asked why the pricey repair when the problem was clearly caused by the software update. Totally not acceptable IMO, Apple! I will try multiple reboots in the hopes it will help. Phone still works otherwise and sure, I can pull out the actual card but it is frustrating that Apple's update messed with the hardware on my phone. UPDATE: I removed my cards from Apple Wallet and then tried to re-add, but got an error message that I could not set up Apple Pay. Rebooted and was able to add one card successfully, but another shows up as a previous card and I get an error to try later when I try to re-add it. Will keep rebooting in the hopes that I can add the second one and then keep my fingers crossed that I will actually be able to use Apple Pay. UPDATE 2: The card that was showing up as a 'previous card' could not be added after several reboots, I discovered that I was able to remove it from the 'previous card' list by tapping on 'previous cards' then on Edit, and then the removal icon. Was able to successfully add it back into my wallet after that. WHAT A SCAM THAT APPLE WENT RIGHT TO A COSTLY HARDWARE REPAIR.
