iOS 17.3 issues on iPhone 12pro (lightning port, battery drain, Face ID , camera, vibration not working)

After upgrading to iOS 17.3 on my iPhone 12 Pro, I’ve encountered several issues.

- Unable to charge the iPhone 12 Pro with any lightning cables after upgrading to iOS 17.3. Cables work fine with other non-17.3 iPhones and iPad. Unable to connect the laptop to Mac due to non-functional lightning cable.

- Camera functions intermittently, working sometimes and not working at other times.

- Face ID works occasionally but mostly fails, as the camera doesn't work consistently.

- Flashlight has stopped working.

- Haptic vibration feels strange during device usage. No vibration for incoming calls despite correct settings.

- Battery drains 10% in an hour, even on flight mode without usage.

- If a lightning cable is connected to the phone when it's off, the phone restarts recursively.

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Lightning port, battery drain, Face ID, camera, vibration not working issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.

Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors.

If you had Googled it, you would have noticed that many people are experiencing similar issues after updating to iOS 17.3.

It's strange that everything stops working right after upgrading the OS. I've been monitoring various threads and trying different settings (include reset all settings) for five days. This is the first time I've encountered so many issues after an OS upgrade. Working in tech myself, I understand that iOS updates can potentially lead to hardware malfunctions, as hardware relies on software and firmware for control.

While I don't believe Apple intentionally introduces bugs, they can occur if the quality assurance (QA) control is not rigorous enough.
