New IOS 17.4.1 after downloaded iPhone faces many problems

Disappointed and frustrated with this update. I’ve also experienced many of the same as others:

1. The slowest battery charge and quickest battery drain
2. The microphone shutting off after a few words and having a mind of its own
3. Incredibly bad touch sensitivity
4. Terrible word alternatives (see images below) on top of not even wanting to tap on this word to change it! (Hence the bad touch sensitivity and dumbness of Apple thinking I need to change the word.)

As a usually very happy iOS user, I am devastated how bad this current software is…

• I had a huge crash of my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Couldn’t get it on again, was stuck at the apple logo. Had to make a full on factory reset to get it running again.
• My alarm randomly wakes me up at 04:07am (it was never set at this time before)
• battery drains quickly (about 10% per hour)
• phone constantly gets very hot even when in very light use
• crashes, lags, slow performance in many apps

I have never experienced such a bad performance of a phone which costs a huuuuge amount of money…

The fatal crash now (during my vacation!) caused me many problems and showed me, that apple really messed up this update…

I’m experiencing lots of iMessage issues where messages won’t deliver or they’ll send as text message, keep in mind this has nothing to do with internet connection for me or the recipient.

Memory management issues after this “minor” update. See below: this is after rebooting, before launching any apps. (iPhone 14 Pro Max). I phoned Apple support and after discussing the problem the agent said he would have to escalate the issue to next-level support. “Someone will call you back shortly “ …still waiting for that call.

In addition to accidentally calling contacts after hanging up a call (BTW, I own iPhones over a decade, never had this issue) also when you’re creating a new wallpaper from the photos app and deciding to pair screens, the Home Screen lacks the “Blur” effect, so you need to add it manually

I've been a loyal apple customer since iPhone 3 and have laptops, computers and iPads in my businesses and at home. My family all have watches and have bought in to getting new model iPhones every couple of years for the ease of communication. But the frustration and lack of attention from Apple on this trash update that has literally made my phone garbage has broken my confidence in the brand. Looking at Android for the first time. I literally thought it was me and I was a stroke victim when I wasn't able to send coherent communications becuase of my keyboard glitches until I found reddit threads. The amount of TIME Apple has stolen from me dealing with corrections, re-emailing, clarifying and slow typing to my clients and colleagues is incalculable and on top of that add research to figure out the problem. I'm furious.

I had horrendous problems when iTunes showed an update to 17.4.1 (which my iPhone already had!) was required and I tried to update. I ended up calling Apple Support around 8 times and spending 4 days trying to recover my iPhone and restore all apps and logins. All of this seems to have stemmed from the re-release of 17.4.1 which couldn't be updated via the phone, only by iTunes. I'm extremely unhappy that I've wasted 4 days down to what appears to be a bug in the update process.

I thought the discrepancy between my iPhone and iTunes version was a syncing problem so I updated via iTunes and the update crashed a long way through the process. My iPhone (which had been fine before the update) wouldn't boot up properly and required resetting via a PC. Despite connecting it to iTunes, it would not boot up and I couldn't do a reset or restore on it.

After multiple calls to Apple, I had to use another PC, download Apple Devices and try it all over again. Eventually, this did reset my phone BUT it wouldn't connect to the mobile network - the signal kept appearing and disappearing and I could see that the menus under Cellular Data were constantly changing as the phone appeared to be constantly trying to connect to the mobile network and failing. Internet worked OK but not mobile calls/data.

By using another SIM and another iPhone, I confirmed that my SIM worked in the other phone but another SIM wouldn't work in my phone.

After further multiple calls to Apple support and remote diagnostic testing (and a superbly helpful Irishman!), I managed to reset my iPhone to a clean version and then restore to an iCloud backup.

Unfortunately, whilst all my apps were downloaded, I had to re-login and setup every single one which took me a further day.

The whole incident has been a nightmare and caused me serious issues and loss of time.

It was only my persistence with Apple Support and my belief that my phone was fine and it was the software update which had corrupted it. Apple Support repeatedly said they couldn't do much more and to take the phone to my nearest Apple Store (a 4 hour round trip) for testing which wasn't sensible initially when it seemed as though a straightforward reset/restore should be possible.

I must thank Apple Support in Ireland and in North Carolina who were very helpful in problem solving at various stages - Ireland, in particular, spent well over an hour on the phone to take me through all of the reset/restore stages when it failed initially and they had the ingenuity to get me to use another PC and another SIM to problem solve.

Apple - PLEASE take more care with software updates and advise customers if there's a discrepancy between phone/iTunes updates and why - then they can be more circumspect about updating and decide whether to delay if there are continuing user issues.

I’m facing (on iPhone 13) repeated issues of accidentally calling a contact that appears “under” the red “hang up” icon every time I finish a call

I have most all of same crazy things happening on my 14 +

it is crazy stuff, for sure- only good thing is now i know its not just me- irractic phone behavior in many areas!

Tôi vừa cập nhật 17.4.1 cho 15prm và pin của tôi đã tụt còn 99% sau 41 lần sạc, tốc độ tụt này quá nhanh và khi sạc thì máy nóng như cục than. Thực sự tệ!
