Apple needs to thoroughly test these updates before sending them out. They've gotten horrible at this.

They are losing customers because of not doing their jobs to fully test updates before making them available.

I'm ready to switch all of my devices back to Android, to stay.

Mobile brand/model selection is an individual choice based on many parameters. Such as Money, Feature, Status, Aesthetic, Utility, User-Friendliness, Availability, Warranty Coverage, Service Support, Resale value, Technology and many other factors. Choose yours judiciously!

After downloading this most recent update on my iPhone Pro Max this morning, my touchscreen is disabled. I can't slide up to initiate the update when "hello" appears. I also can't use the touchscreen to power off and restart my phone.

Suggestions?

After ios update 17.4.1, I am no longer able to turn off my iphone 14 pro normally. I have to use the up/down volume buttons in conjunction with the power off button to power down the phone. In addition, my Files App no longer allows me to access shared folders on my Windows PC. At this point, I am painstakingly testing critical apps to determine any unforseen problem. Apple may want to consider a roll back.

I agree, Apple used to be second to none when came to the quality and integrity of their updates and the few times that I did experience problems with ios updates, they were easy to resolve. Based on my research, it appears that in order to correct the noted issues, I would have to reset my phone to factory default settings or use the recovery mode neither of which is an acceptable solution.

I was holding my pro max 14 then its gone. I took it to the apple store, they told me your processor is broken and it needs replacement for 800$. The problem is I didnt do anything. This is my last iphone I will never buy it again.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.

Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!

iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the 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.
