IOS 17.5.1 Problems

Phone was dandy until I did iOS 17.5.1 update last night. I just got off phone with Apple Technical Support, no solutions as of now. Here’s a list of problems now:

  1. Dropping WiFi A LOT throughout day, 5 min on, then off, repeat
  2. Turning off WiFi, still couldn’work online using 5G
  3. Text and email notifications not working at all, banners nor sound
  4. When WiFi was working during day, I’d send email to myself to check, emails sat in OutBox until I waited 5-10 min then I’d go back to OutBox and push it through a second time. It would then go through

Very concerned I’m not getting important incoming emails.

I haven’t even checked yet if my photos have been messed up like others are reporting (which 17.5.1 was supposed to fix from previous update that caused photo issues)


My internet company is not having issues. My phone provider Verizon isn’t having issues.


This must be iOS huge mistakes. Nothing is related to each other, the only common denominator is 17.5.1

Yep same here, although I’m also having touch screen issues.

I’m constantly having to reboot my phone so that it works again.

Since updating to iOS 17.5.1 I have had nothing but major Bluetooth connections issues. Initially I thought it was my AirPods Pro 2 (2nd-Gen USB-C) that was the culprit. So I chatted with Apple Support back on May 22nd, 2024 since my AirPods are still under warranty, I received a box a few days later and sent them off to be repaired. Apple received them on May 29th, however, I received an email response from them stating "We need more time....," and "Your repair is on hold...," and that there was a part that was needed to complete repair on my AirPods. So here it is a week later from their initial email sent to me (June 6th) and I still haven't heard back from Apple. I keep checking the repair status and its still saying the same thing.


Like I stated earlier, initially I thought the culprit (even though they said they're waiting on a part) was my AirPods Pro 2 (2nd-Gen), until I've tried connecting my AirPods Max, my 1st Gen AirPods Pro, and other 3rd party earbuds to my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Nothing will stay connected and all have updated software/firmware. I have turned off Bluetooth, deleted all devices connected and tried re-pairing them to no avail. My wireless CarPlay also wont connect and so I'm fairly certain that iOS 17.5.1 is the real culprit.


Please Apple fix this Bluetooth issue ASAP and let me know what's up with my AirPods that are on hold.

iPhone 14.


All those issues plus more.


Car Play/Bluetooth issues - disconnected/forgot and reconnected and so far so good.


Screen freezes occasionally.


When I swipe down I usually see recent apps but no more. Have to search each time.


When I share something, my recent connections/messages do not show up.


I hope there is a fix soon!

I can't get any apps to work. Luckily I have a Samsung work phone and that's how I'm even able to post this. Phone was working fine and last night the update went through, now no apps work like I have no service but I can call and text. I can't even access the apple store to try deleting and reinstalling apps or anything. Can't use the browser. I have the apply 15 pro max. My wife has the 15 pro and it didn't effect her phone at all. Fix it Apple!

Updated the moment the update was available. Seemed fine. Then as the days went on it gradually became worse. Today has been the worse I’ve ever experienced.


  • wifi kicks out and I’m on 5G
  • While on calls automatically goes to LTE although notifications fail to arrive and only show up once I hang up.
  • service on dual sim is completely off, same carrier - primary line has full bars and secondary has one
  • phone gets super hot
  • battery does insanely fast, randomly
  • call quality has become horrible
  • carplay fails to connect often
  • keyboard becomes very laggy randomly


I guess the good news here is that a ton of people are having the same issue so finger crossed Apple fixes this on the next update. 😞
