My iPhone 15 Pro not working after iOS 17.4 update

hi, welcome to the club, I replied to a previous thread one week ago and its now been viewed 11000 times, so there is still a very real problem with 17.4 that apple seems to be ignoring. just out of interest have you had a non apple replacement screen?. I had and it had been working fine for 2 years until update. thanks Steve

That means you're missing quite a few security updates.

Your call of course but the vast majority of people have no problems with incremental updates. Many of the problems people attribute to the updates are actually caused by something else and simply occurred at the same time (yes, coincidences happen). And, some are caused by people not understanding changes, though that's less of an issue with the incremental updates.

Welcome to 17.4!! Plug your phone into your pc and go into DFU mode, look on YouTube if you’re not familiar with the procedure. Then reboot phone, but with mine afterwards if I turned it off it would brick again and have to start everything from scratch! Every app had to be signed in again. Good luck

My iPhone 15 Pro no longer responds to any touch on the screen. After doing the iOS 17.4.1 update, I can't swipe up to complete setup or turn my phone off (swipe turn off sliders). I can do a hard reset successfully, but the screen is still untouchable.

Heading to the Genius Bar on Monday to see if they can fix it. I'm not optimistic. Feels like I'll be restoring from iCloud backup on a new device.

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Response 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. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.

Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

See what each update does: About iOS 17 Updates, About iOS 16 Updates, About iOS 15 Updates, About iOS 14 Updates, About iOS 13 Updates, About iOS 12 Updates, and so on...

I've had this issue several times and have no idea why it bricks when installing updates. But each time, I follow these steps and I'm able to restore my phone: If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

You'll need a computer to perform the reset. If you have everything backed up in iCloud it will slowly restore after you get your phone up and running. You could also choose to wipe it completely and start fresh.

That is why I haven't updated my iOS, have been sticking to the iOS 17.1.1 fresh out the box. Hope your phone gets better mdmetz.

I'm also having this exact issue. My iPhone 15 Pro is completely unresponsive to touch following an update to iOS 17.4.1... It won't charge or anything. I've done the volume reset and tried plugging it into my computer but it won't connect. I'm at a loss right now what to do with it.

Make an appointment to Apple Genius Bar and ask the tech guy to do it for yourself. It could take too much time by doing this yourself.

After two attempts of reinstalling the iOS, I am finally getting my iPhone back: the data is being restored. Thank you so much for the useful advice!
