Additional 17.4 and 17.4.1 problems

Hello, I’m having issues ever since I started downloading 17.4 and 17.4.1 iOS updates for the iPhone 13 mini I have experience nothing but a long list of problems that make my phone unusable like crashing overheating battery drain even if I turn off all the settings, even if I put on airplane mode Compatibility with other devices Wi-Fi messing up Bluetooth messing up not detecting a Sim card or an eSIM card or even my back up Sim card everything is updated on the phone, but it has nothing but problems ever since the day of the 14.1 update which I did about a week ago And to me, it seems very strange that they would prompt me to download this update called a critical update for security but now my phone is least secure. It’s not working at all and still obviously having tons of issues. Cannot stay connected to anything from the update and 17.4.1 was supposed to fix this, but has been effective for my phone. It doesn’t seem like there’s really anyone to talk to you. I’ve I’ve done basically everything you possibly can to try to get it to work on the phone , it’s not doing it. The only other option is to revert back to a different iOS update like iOS 17.3 or something before this I believe I would have to have a computer to do that which I don’t have. Does anyone have any recommendations? does anyone else think that this might Cause permanent damage to the phone does anyone else consider that it would seem hard to release this type of update that could be so severe and tell everyone is so critical to download without intention phones could be tested and labeled that critical just cause all these issues seems very strange it’s happening to way too many people to coincidence my typing doesn’t have any punctuation because I cannot actually use the keyboard on my phone because I’m having keyboard issues as well if I try to either switch keyboards or use the number button or the tab button on the phone it will cause it to delete what I’m typing or choose to randomly put dashes or just switch keyboards even when I’m not trying to, so I have to use the speech to text option. Has iPhone announced any compensation for downtime and for the problems or permanent damage may cause to the devices?

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17

Same. iPhone Xs. I assume this is iPhone’s way of forcing us to buy a new phone, I wish I never installed this update and from my research there is no way to go back after installing.


my apps crash, my phone freezes, it overheats randomly, my battery lasts 1/2 as long, and everything reacts very slowly. When I press the buttons to restart my phone or turn up the volume it doesn’t happen for 1-5 minutes. I’ve gotten lost because my gps apps keep crashing during Navigation.


Someone on another thread suggested resetting the phone so I will try that tomorrow and update you if possible.

I too am having awful issues after this update and it was literally noticeable, as in almost instantly. I have an I phone 11 pro max and it won’t charge now. And I’ve had people saying “it’s old” or “the battery is bad” but it worked literally perfect and had great battery health. Never had issues before this update. ZERO. Now I wake up from my phone charging all night and it has done nothing but down a few to a handful of percentages. I had to turn my phone off and turn it back on to get it t start charging. Sometimes having to restart the phone multiple times before it will start charging. I’ve used regular cables as well as lightening charges. This is extremely frustrating and I feel like a lot of people are very upset with this and other issues I’ve been seeing as well.

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.

And you've done all the troubleshooting steps to come to that conclusion?

Same issues here. Updated to 17.4.1 last week on my iphone 14 because my watch had stopped connecting. Immediately after the restart from the update my phone had to cellular data which means it's basically a brick. I'm 17+ hours in with Apple, Verizon, and an Apple store over the last few days. No solution. Apple says the phone is fine, Verizon is out of ideas. Things we've tried multiple times...restarting, turning off/on cellular data, changing and resetting network settings, multiple new eSim cards, factory restore, and updating through a computer instead. Nothing has worked and I'm without a phone at home with a 3 week old...I'm pretty sure I'm giving up tomorrow and buying a new phone (not an iphone after 10ish years).
