iPhone not working after 17.2.1 update

I'm facing network issues on my iPhone 15 Pro without even updating to ios 17.2.1 and it's really frustrating. I'm currently on ios 17.2.

From past 2-3 weeks, I am frequently not able to make calls even after both caller and receiver having signals.

If I do able to connect, the voice gets disconnected in between.

Once, mobile data was not working but in my friend's iPhone having ios 17.0 and the same network provider I'm having, was able to browse the internet.

This pretty much proves that something is wrong with ios.

We shell above 1000 bucks on a phone and it doesn't connect to internet, can't make calls, and what not.

I'm fond of Mac so decided to pick iPhone for the first time expecting similar, good xp.

Please fix the issue, Apple!

I've also got a problem with this update with the alarm as it no longer works properly. Before I was able to customise my alarm with any song in which case I would choose the loudest to wake up as I tend to sleep through alarms. However with the new update the alarm ringtone is stuck on the provided ones by apple and they aren't. Effective at all as they simply turn off after only one ring. It's a terrible feature the older alarm features were so much better

After updating my iPhone to 17.2.1, my iMac stopped recognizing the iPhone. Now I cannot back up my iPhone or do a restore, etc... I cannot figure out how to get my iMac to recognize iPhone. Help needed!!

after installing update 17.2.1 my phone Sean has lost all touch I can't reset it nothing put in a password. it turns on but nothing is happing I can't get past the lock screen. can any one help don't get paid for anther 2 weeks and I can't buy a new phone. I have a iPhone 14 plus

After updating with IOS 17.2.1, I am facing following issues:

1. My contact search functionality is not working / taking long time to search .
2. My Apple 13 pro max is getting very slow
3. The sound level for new mail, messages itself is getting changed .

pls suggest / recommend.

I updated to 17.2.1 today and when someone sends me a photo and I click on it to make it larger, it brings up text that says “photo 5.3gb” and no photo is visible. I tried saving the photo to my album and it won’t do that either. I’m mad! I never would have updated my phone if I knew there were issues.

I am quite certain it will just show the latest update to install. Just like when you buy a new phone it always needs to be updated and often times it’s way outdated software. But it only requires one update to get it current. I’m not sure if it’s just certain model phones that are having a problem. People should start listing on this discussion what model phone they have. Mine is iPhone SE 2nd generation and it is not affected.

We did the update 17.2.1 and phone will not connect to network. Went to Apple Store, they want to charge 400 to fix phone. How is this our fault?? Phone was working just fine till update! Why is this not in the news? Class action suit? We are now without a working phone and have to pay to fix something that was working fine until Apples update! This is a APPLE PROBLEM NOT A CUSTOMER PROBLEM

I’m having the same issue with my iPhone 12. Went to Genius Bar and they said there’s nothing wrong with my phone and it must be a software issue but I also have an error on my Apple ID settings saying some services need you to log in again but then it won’t allow me to continue not sure if that’s related. All started the day I updated. I suggested it was the update and they said no it can’t be 🙄

Verizon, iPhone 13 Pro max

Apple please fix this!

After 3 trips to Verizon, and a scheduled call from Apple that never occurred (they didn’t call me even with email verification) I’m out of ideas. I did resets, restores, new cards. This is ridiculous

Number one reason why SIM doesn’t work, you didn’t pay your bill !

Seriously though, maybe there were hacks at Verizon, T-Mobile, etc. and some persons accounts were compromised and de-activated. Or iPhone users with simple passwords were hacked.

The problem may be along these lines please see the link, to an article the 17.2 was an emergency update because of spyware, hacking, etc. 17.2.1 was rushed out, shortly after 17.2. Very suspicious. Spyware, malware, something, damaged your hardware.

Can one downgrade or remove Apple’s upgrades? I have a new 14. I can’t display the day and date in upper right corner on my lock and home screens.

Also, my phone doesn’t sound alerts for text messages if they are open (running in the background) even tho I swiped up to close them. I am beginning to hate iPhones

Network cuts off intermittently after the update. It’s super annoying.. can’t make phone calls nor send messages. No issues from my network provider . Sometimes switching back and forth from airplane mode doesn’t work.

wtb a fix please.

The camera on my brand new iPhone 15 freezes. Two visits to Genius Bar. At today’s visit they deleted the software & re-installed. It did not solve the problem. They suggested I wait for the next iOS update. I declined offer to open the brand new phone and replace the camera!

Yikes! It’s a brand new phone.
