Issues after updating to iOS 17.4.1

I have to hold the phone against a fan or an air conditioner for about 1 to 2 minutes. Shortly thereafter it starts working again. It’s like a computer chip is getting blown or shorted. I am not sure what is going on but this is the only thing that has worked for me since the update.

If you still have issue you can contact with apple support team and ask question. I don't know exactly that will they help us or not, but we can try ths.

I’ve done everything every one else has done. Nothing’s worked. This update went live on my phone overnight and has completely destroyed me cellular. Not even getting a new Esim like others have suggested from my carrier worked. After dealing with my carrier, apples ultimate solution was to have me bring it in to a technician and of course there’s no availability until tomorrow evening. This is customer service nowadays for you folks. Have an issue with their products or how they do things? Too bad. Theres only 2 phone companies to pick from. The consumer is a clown to these people nowadays. This company has been in a tailspin since steve jobs died. Each new iphone is more devoid of originality and ingenuity than the last. Updates forced upon you that break your phone. If anybody discovers a solution, please let us know. Sorry we all have to deal with this.

I am having the data issue as well. I have contacted Apple who told me it was a carrier issue. So I contacted Roger’s tech supports and was told they they had a bunch of calls for the same issue that it is the new iOS 17.4.1 update so I guess I have to call Apple again today ugh

I had the same issue for three days; my Mobile data was not working. I tried so many different things to try and fix it, such as restarting my mobile; resting network settings; forgetting wifi network. As a last resort before contacting Apple I turned my off and left it over night, and somehow that seemed to work! I’ve not seen this recommended anywhere else, so it might be worth a try.

Since the update, the only issue I’ve noticed (so far) is one in which my podcasts app keeps crashing. I spent over an hour talking to an Apple support specialist trying various solutions (offloading the app, turning my phone off and back on, then reinstalling the app). When I asked the support person if anyone else was having the same issue, he said no one that he had talked to. So he recommended backing up my phone, resetting everything to factory settings, and then doing a reinstall. Of course, I had to buy more iCloud storage so now Apple is getting even more money from me every month. After climbing the nearest hill and emitting my loudest primal scream possible, I took his advice. It worked fine for one day. Now I’m having the same problem. What a s**t show. Really considering going back to an android where I had none of these issues. My first iPhone may be my last. I think it’s time for another primal scream.

Happy to report all issues resolved themselves after 3 days. I did follow up at genius bar as my appointment was on day 3 and they did a quick health check of phone and all good. They did say that this sort of thing can happen with upgrades and just turn phone off and leave for a bit usually sorts it out.

May be your iPhone’s battery need to be replaced. Wait for the next update to resolve persisting issues.

An update will not help anything if the issue is that the battery needs to be replaced.

Hi guys,

having heating and battery issue since I updated to 17.4.1. Battery gets really hot and gets drained even if I play YouTube for 5 min. Never happened before. Tried all the fixes but seems to be not working. Contacted apple and sent diagnostic but nothing seems wrong so I was asked to go to their store which I will be doing on The Weekend.

Waiting for apple to come up with a firmware fix soon. Being iPhone user for over 10 years, this is the worst firmware upgrade.

I turned my low battery mode on to see if it helps cause my battery draining much fast now since this lousy update. Apple better do something fast! Or I will, meaning get an android and be done with crapple!

I experienced this yesterday: -

• The phone froze with a not moving loading sign when I was about to get into my phone desktop
• Hard reset the phone at least 5x
• Within the 5x my applications are not fully loaded and missing, most of the applications not working (image as attached)
• Off for abit, then turn it back on and leave it for the 5th time only it kinda get back to normal

Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

I’m also noticing a lot of issues with this iOS like severe battery drain safari browser, freezing, and crashing slow and laggy home screen text to speech not working properly and this is happening on all Apple devices right now running this version, including iPad the Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, and sometimes the Wi-Fi goes out for a while while the Wi-Fi bars are gray and keep getting spam with the cellular data is off warning every time it happens even though I don’t have it really not impressed apples having lots of issues with their devices right now and don’t seem to be taking it that serious

I am experiencing numerous glitches in addition to the ones you’ve reported. On iOS 17.4.1 and iPhone 14 Pro I am unable to use the power off menu. There is a visual glitch where the options are stacked atop one another instead of properly spaced. The screen becomes unresponsive. When after a few mins I can swipe up to leave the power down screen, no icons work. All apps register a tap with a visual flash but none open. Settings app won’t open either. When I pull down to search my last search is stuck in an unusable search bar. Before it enters this state of unresponsiveness, I have noticed degradation to battery, copy paste, and cell/wifi connectivity. Screenshotting is disabled in this state as well.

To anyone stuck like me: the manual force shutdown still works — tap volume up, volume down, hold the side button down until the Apple logo appears.
