apple wallet error 17.1.1 iPhone

I just used my Apple Pay this afternoon. When I arrived home I was prompted to update to iOS 17.1.1. After the update, now Apple Pay does not work and I can not add payment cards back. I contacted support and they said there is a problem with the Apple Pay sensors that will cost $587 to fix.

Apple broke my phone with the 17.1.1 update (it worked just fine an hour ago) and now wants me to pay them to fix it.


iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

Try reinstalling iOS 17 using your computer as it explains here. It worked for me. Amazingly, multiple support techs that I talked to, did not recommend this or try to help. They just wanted to charge me $587 for a repair I didn't need. Still annoyed about it.
