Additional 17.4 and 17.4.1 problems

Several issues with 17.4.1. Can’t receive texts, apps doesn’t work, and can’t turn phone off

In iPhone 13 version 17.4.1 ,5g not working and some other apps have bugs and glitches please fix it properly and launch it properly ☹️☹️☹️

(Jio). 5g I tried all types like reset network settings and restart the phone but also not working

I’ve been an iPhone user since the 7 came out and this is the first iOS update that I’ve ever experienced problems with. I have a 14 pm and the internet connection has been unstable and frequently losing connection. I usually get 300-500 download and 75-150 upload but last test it clocked at 8 download and 0.90 upload with 57% stability rating. A lot of my apps are messed up too. Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Youtube and Reddit all won’t load most of the time or will load the first 3-4 posts and then every post after that is blank. Yahoo fantasy constantly freezes and goes blank after like a minute of use. Safari freezes almost every time I try to search something. I have an app for a local grocery store and it took me almost an hour to do a 15 item order that should’ve taken no more than 10-15 min to complete but nothing would load and it kept signing me out of the app. It’s been extremely frustrating, my phone is basically useless outside of texting/calling. Took me 3 tries just to get this website to load. I’ve factory reset network settings and hard reset phone but neither made a difference. I have an iPhone 12 too and I usually do the upgrade on that first to see the functionality and then upgrade my main phone if there are no major bugs but somehow automatic download got turned on (I’ve always had it off) and I guess sometime in the middle of the night I accepted the install. I hope they patch this soon. I use my phone a lot at work and it’s hard when I have unstable connection and apps that won’t load

14 Pro here, no cellular connection after IOS17.4.1 despite showing 5G/LTE connected.

Have been to an Apple store and carrier store. Both confirm no issues on their ends and send me back to the other.

Other steps taken to try and fix with no success

1. Reset Network settings
2. Set 5G in cellular to LTE and vice versa
3. Turned off private relay (had been turned off already)
4. Erase and Reset phone
5. Turn airplane mode on/off
6. Restored phone as new
7. Restored phone from backup
8. Apple will not replace phone as they find nothing wrong in their diagnostics
9. Verizon will not replace as they have nothing wrong on their end
10. Verizon reset eSim, re-provisioned and added line boosters to no success
11. No outages or cellular network problems in my area and area's I have travelled (no spotty connections)

I have been on the forums and techs since April 1 with no success. No one else on same phone plan as I has any issues.

Has anyone had any luck? I have a feeling Apple is aware of the bugs but are laying low and will issue a patch as if nothing happened. If there is anyone who has had similar as I, tried everything but no fix please feel free to reach out maybe there is something we find together. At this point after almost 2 weeks with IOS17.4.1 and no cellular I need the phone to work.

Receiving .4mbps speeds on Verizons LTE/5G network.

TL;DR Have tried everything, been to Apple but still no cellular service despite saying 5G/LTE on phone.

After upgrading to 17.4.1 my 13 pro max behaving weird , sometime touch screen not working properly and there is lag when switching screen, Battery heating issue. And sometimes unable type in text messaging aps inclusing whatsapp, insta, x, typing typing inbox getting disabled or tottaly disappear . This is the worst update received from apple.

Same issues- 13 mini. Apple support on a call can’t help and won’t accept it happened because of the update

In addition to what SravanKrA mentioned, it's great advice because clearly resetting network settings is the modern-day equivalent of banging on the TV to get a better picture.

Thanks for the tip, but I'll pass on the digital voodoo and opt for solutions that actually make work, but in this case, wait for 17.4.3 update.

Apple store will perform a DFU restore. You'll have issues if you don't pay for the premium iCloud service and problems with eSIM too. Even then, that might not be a fix. It's a gamble.

As such, my rule of thumb (which I admittedly don't always follow) is wait a few months after an update is officially made available before downloading.

In addition to what razmee209 has already said I would like to add...

Reset Network Settings: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This can fix connectivity issues like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

I had a bunch of errors as soon as i downloaded this update, I couldn’t sign into my App Store apple ID in general. I disabled the new “Stolen Device Protection” feature, and my phone went back to normal.

best of luck

15 pm same issue right here, tried to restore it as new but didn't fix anything.

This doesn’t work unfortunately

YESSS!!!! i just got the black screen of death for my 13mini.

Apple support no help and im in thailand on vacation. Worst timing. I'm livid.

My Dad's SE3 is doing the same thing when updated to 17.4, it reads NO SIM. We contacted the carrier and after a long "try this" session it started working again, for about a week and then back to NO SIM back to the carrier and finally got it running again. When 17.4.1 came out I thought finally a fix and updated it for him, NOPE, broke AGAIN. NO SIM, phone call to carrier again and after another hour and a half of "now try this" it was working. He went back to his house and in 4 days it was back to "NO SIM" This is crazy, my Dad is 83 and NEEDS his phone for safety purposes. We choose Apple because we thought it was better, I am now second guessing our choice. I will not be updating my phone any time soon. Apple do better. The nearest Apple store to us is nearly four hours away.

@razmee209

It appears evident that the problem lies within the update itself, and restoring to NEW won't address it.

Furthermore, promoting this advice is misguided. It's akin to using a sledgehammer on a thumbtack, unless the iPhone belongs to someone with minimal apps, like your grandparents or great-grandparents with little media and apps.
