Should I update iPhone to iOS 17.6.1 even with reported issues?

My phone auto updated and I wish it hadn’t. This update is buggy and glitchy and my battery life has been awful the first day. Also, two folders from my main screen were just, gone. I restarted my phone, and one came back but one is still gone. This folder had chrome and safari apps in it and they’re just not available anymore. I literally have to go all the way to the last page on my phone to access safari now. Or go to the search bar. But I CANT add the app to my Home Screen.

My understanding is that there is a glitch with (21G93) which is supposedly resolved with (21G101) both 17.6.1 this explains why some people are dealing with this and others are not. My phone is continually crashing.

I don’t have a Mac to reflash from iTunes, this is frustrating. But I have definitely turned off auto install of iOS updates from its default parameter.

Hooray, it’s like the Gil Amelio days all over again!

Issues with excessive heat and rapid battery consumption

I am a multi product user for past 30 years. Since this update involves security AND iCloud issues I would have waited had I known of reported issues. I’m on automatic updates so down the rabbit hole I go.

I've turned off automatic updates on my other products.

I'm concerned enough with heat issues that I’m charging and monitoring the heat issue until charge is finished.

Will then time battery consumption

Atualizei ontem, a tela está dando bug, horrível!!!!!! As cores ficam desbotadas, sem motivo, e se eu bloquear, simplesmente a tela **** toda preta e demora para ligar, não consigo usar o telefone, espero que arrumem rápido, pq está uma 💩 ( iPhone 14 Pro Max)

Can someone from Apple team respond for this? This issue is serious, people out of warranty who is ever upgraded is facing this issue irrespective of the iPhone model/series! My husband uses 13 pro max, first he faced this issue, his screen is fully crashed with greenlight and the Service centre says display itself to be change to resolve this issue. My husband's brother who uses 14 pro max same as mine, his automatic software update caught him and the very next moment of the update he is now facing green lines! Knowing all these I have cancelled my auto update now, afraid that I just bought this a year back and it's warranty almost ended in July. I think iphone are now competing with Oneplus on this issue! This was Oneplus's, now iPhone follows their path! Atleast Oneplus is ready to assist users irrespective of warranty period, but iPhone isn't speaking about this issue in any forum!!!! Very disappointing!!

well it wants me to update on my NEW iPhone to the same system. When I updated my old iPhone, my phone became unusable bc it would always say it was overheating, even when I restarted it and kept it off for a day, I’d reopen it to “phone overheating” and it wouldn’t get off that screen. I had to get a new phone so idek if I should update this one with the same update again

This is very helpful and probably applicable for many people. Especially when this comment was made.

It's not what iOS 17.6.1 is doing to the battery, it's the update process and not what it updates to. Any update, apparently. That housekeeping happens in the background so the only thing you're aware of is the sudden battery drain for seemingly little no user activity.

But for people who updated a couple of weeks ago and already did all the things in the linked response (Extreme battery drain in iPhone post upda… - Apple Community) you are not crazy thinking this update may have some issues.

I have zero apps refreshing in background, it’s been at least 2 weeks since I updated my 14pro max.

I could tolerate the battery drain issue, except that the phone is getting so hot it stops charging. This has happened >5 times after update. I think over a…. Lot of years of iPhones for several household members I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had that problem. I have never had a significant complaint or problem with any automatic updates over 10+ years: 4 iPads, 4 MacBooks (pro/air), 8 (ish) iPhones?

I haven’t managed to download the update to the update (the second build). Will try that tonight. Maybe that helps the issue.

but just saying, I’ve literally never felt the need to come to the community to ask for info about a problem with any thing. And I came for THIS update. So yeah. It isn’t just the normal amount of stuff happening

I upgraded. And Face ID stopped working. And now I can not reset Face ID. I can not perform the test to reset it. Which means looking away from the phone to capture my whole face. Can anyone actually do that? Maybe I am too old 🙁 and now I can not unlock some if my applications including ones I use for work.

I’m also having an Issue with the new IOS 17.6.1 Update on my Iphone 14 Pro Max. Just recently for some odd reason decided to glitch and bug my phone. My volume buttons no longer works, my face ID no longer works, and my ringer/ mute switch no longer works. I have no idea why it just decided to do that but that’s my situation. I’m guessing it’s the update rather than anything else. I don’t download malware nor do I click random links. I just wish Apple would make better products that would last longer than 2yrs without problems.

Rest my iCloud and phone and hold factory reset

No.

I wish I had an add bllocker.

What I did to get round this issue was to put my SIM card into another iPhone . Then transfered the number back onto my actual iPhone creating a eSIM now it works fine… hope that helps
