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

I've also tried everything. Apple ran diagnose and said it was a hardware issue and had nothing to do with the update. When I put my SIM in another phone, SIM worked just fine. Also tried settings and all on my phone. Eventually I connected my phone to Itunes on my computer. My computer informed me that I needed the update that was already on my phone and not available on my phone anymore. So I ran the update from the computer. First it said no sim. Then I ejected SIM and put it back in and I finally am now up and running again. Truly hope this helps others persons as well.

My 11 Pro Max iPhone shows 17.4.1. So does iPad 9. Yet when I connect both to synch music to MBP, it shows 'an update is available.' Even tho phone and iPad both say 'you are up to date.' So do I need to do this? Or just wait for 17.5?

Thank you for the advice but this actually caused the most problems. Now I have to spend weeks getting into my accounts and trying to get them authenticated with phone numbers I no longer have or they use authenticator apps like Microsoft authenticator app or duo mobile, but these are no longer set up on my device. Also, reseting the phone didn’t fix any problem just caused them.

Simply put without an extensive list of problems stated here en masse, I have the same issues with my 14 Pro Max less than one year old. I am now using a 7+ and using the 14 Pro Max as a paperweight until Apple resolves the issue with 4 more updates. Very, very disappointing. I have also noticed a significant change in the knowledge and attitude of the representatives that have always been excellent. Sad

Help!! After the update I cannot access my photos from social media. I work in marketing, so this is essential.

There is no longer the option to give permissions to access my photos from apps like meta, facebook, or instagram. Also, every time I open these apps, there is a pop up to accept terms with the new update and I have done it several times.

Same here with 13 Mini, draining battery and cannot text or connect to the internet with 5G connectivity. I was on the phone with T-Mobile and then on to Apple Support, almost 1 hour 50 some minutes no solution. Very frustrated.

After I installed iOS 17.4.1 my left AirPod barely makes noise compared to my right one. And I cleaned the left one with a micro cloth after I couldn’t hear anything and I still can’t hear anything. iPhone 11 btw.

since updated to 17.4.1, voicemails on my iphone 15 can no longer be transferred to Mac by third party software
so I attached the iPhone to my Mac. Mac said it needed to be updated to 17.4.1 even though it already was
software was reinstalled, problem remains

I just received a new 15 pro today, from a 14 Pro and experiencing same issues as my last post in this thread.

Waiting for an update from Apple and heading back to carrier to return this 15 Pro. New phone did not fix issue cellular data issues that came with IOS17.4.1. Previously phone worked fine, others on same plan work fine as well.

The carrier has confirmed no issues on their end multiple times see previous post for troubleshooting steps taken. Apple support has been no help so far. Hoping we find a solution soon.

I'm having the same issuses with my iphone 15 pro max. Ever since I updated to 17.4.1 . Overheating, charge drainning, and my phone started getting hot. I don't know how much more of this I can take from Apple sigh.

Apr 11, 2024 7:20 PM in response to iPhone13miniuser

I am on 12 pro max. I am experiencing issues with the Apple files app.

it is not responding when opened, only a white screen. In that screen, nothing will work, not even buttons, screenshots or even power off. Only upon exiting the app completely the phone will regain normal use.

any other apps that require to browse the files such as attachments, no files will be able to show up for selection. Sometimes it will cause the other apps to hang too.

anyone has similar issue? Any workarounds?

thanks.
