iOS 17 problems iPhone SE: Planned obsolescence?

Definite and completely obvious, planned obsolescence. I'm experiencing very similar problems since I upgraded to iOS 17. The phone freezes constantly and is unstable. Corporate greed, as always....ruins everything. They need to sell more phones to keep earnings high, which are already astronomical.

Been a devout ( sounds religious) Apple fan since the Apple IIc!!! But, you're loosing me apple, if you think I will buy another expensive phone, as we head into a recession. They don't mind though, a few lost customers is worth the cost of people frustrated with their old phones (due to the iOS) and buying new ones.

Even the "MeToo" button on this page won't acknowledge its being pressed.

That’s hilarious! The Me too button fails to recognize it’s being tapped here as well. iPhone SE 2020. I like how compact this one is and truthfully don’t want to go through the hassle of transferring ANYTHING picture or contacts! I’ve been good to this phone they should allow me to keep it dude. 🤕

Same here... Mac Store made me buy new battery (was 80% efficiency), then erase phone and re-install everything, then had a new SE and same problem.. I loose about 80% battery in just a few hours without even using the phone.

Same here.

Since upgraded to 17.1.2 (iPhone SE 2020) These problems have just occurred.

• It can't charge above 80% (sometime it hold charge since 59%)
• Battery drain faster. Even if without using it still draining fast.

I have tried all these steps. Problem still exists.

• Force Reset
• Reset Settings
• Backup > Erase iPhone > Restore
• Force Reset
• Erase iPhone > setup as new

In fact, this problem made me intend to pay for a battery replacement. But after getting support from Apple, their staff does not recommend changing the battery. Because the diagnostic results (Hardware component & Battery) still show that everything is normal.

PS. My Battery's Health = 87%

You may be misunderstanding. You are not speaking with Apple here, and I cannot debug your device. You did not state that you tried restoring the device and loading a fresh copy of iOS.

We are all volunteers here. It would seem to me that once you have tried all of the troubleshooting that we can recommend, that you need to use the Support link at that top of the page here to contact Apple Support to have them examine your device. They will explain your options.

Don't worry, as you wish, I will not respond again.

The battery in your phone is on its last legs. It needs to be replaced.

Get the battery replaced.

The fact that you are not happy with that answer does not make it incorrect.

If you check your battery capacity in Settings, what are you seeing? If it is 80% or below, the battery needs replacing. You can also try restoring the device to factory so it will load a fresh copy of iOS 17, make sure that you are on iOS 17.1.2, the latest. There is no planned obsolescence.

SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH iOS 17.

My SE2020 is newly refurbished. Battery is at 100%.

Now has lots of problems.

Messages crashes all the time. Cannot scroll through them.

Images cannot be Airdropped.

Neither images or files can be moved to files on icloud.

95% of contacts are lost, or are not retrievable.

No new entries or edits can be saved in contacts.

Had to reset 100% of mail accounts.

Come on, Apple.

What a mess.

iOs 17 is buggy and has a lot of issues across all the Apple devices, and I’m kind of hating it.

My iPad Pro 11in 2nd gen is so unreliable now, keeps consuming battery even when I’m not using it, it has a lot of issues with Voiceover, Spoken Content, some apps, and often goes off even having 5% of battery power.

A complete factory reset didn’t help at all, and I can’t see its battery health, so I don’t know what to do, I just want a new one or see how can I replace its battery, iOs 16 wasen’t so bad

What about iPads? iPad Pro 11in 2nd gen user here: Mine doesn’t show the battery capacity, but shuts off unexpectedly having 10% of battery power. Is there another type of reset that might help to eliminate the Voiceover issues and fix the battery calibration?

Replacing the battery is way more expensive than getting a new iPad

A battery with 83% capacity is low and should be replaced. That can contribute to problems, but not be the only cause. I would try the restore I recommended to load a fresh version of iOS.
