My iPhone is the 14. I just upgraded from the XR not long after I updated to 17.6.1. I was having issues (on the XR) just after I updated. I was having issues with cell reception and so I figured it was time to finally upgrade to 5G.


They updated the new phone (iPhone 14) at the store and it worked fine for a few days. Now I am having the same issues as the old phone. It shows I have 2 or 3 bars on 5G but is not staying connected and keeps telling me that I currently don’t have service.


So much for the upgrade. Now I am locked in for 2 more years and my plane went up $40.

I am having the same issue with my flashlight suddenly not working. After a day or two I finally tried a hard reset, and it works now.

I pressed

volume up

volume down

then press and hold the side button

When the power down slide prompt appears on the screen do not let go

Continue to hold side button until the apple appears

these are the steps that worked for me, and I hope it does for you as well.

My 15ProM is switching from headphones to the internal speaker. I thought it might be my headphones, but I switched to another pair and it’s still happening. I feel like my phone is too new to have dirty charging/headphone port. Unless, of course, the USB-C ports are a lot easier to foul. The new female into male port system vs the male to female set up they’ve always had is a little more intimidating to clean for fear of damaging it

I came here to complain about my problems, but after reading some of yours, I'm feeling lucky! So far, mine has just reverted back to my old lock screen, sans the widgets I added, then back to the new one today, and removed all my secondary screens every time I spend an hour or two getting them right.

I have a Pro Max 15 Typing this alone will most likely be a struggle with this KEYBOARD GLITCH! I can’t hit certain letters at all! Can’t swipe left or right without it hitting input on something I didn’t even click on. Motor Skills on Call Of Duty Is Gone I Have No Control Over My Phone Anymore Literally. Have to talk to text now. Phone also isn’t ringing. & volume goes out. Facebook closes abruptly. Please scrap this update

After 17.6.1 update I cannot receive verification emails on either my iPhone 15 or Mac Book Pro. I have two email accounts- Gmail and Comcast and both are affected. All other types of emails come thru fine. Consequently I cannot access any of my apps that need to verify my email. I’ve also tried doing it thru their .com sites without success.


Given the scope of this problem (phone/macbook/Comcast/Gmail) this can’t be an isolated ATT issue, Comcast issue or Gmail issue. I’ve checked every folder in both my accounts, I’ve tried every fix I could find, but nothing has worked. I know Apple added security features to the update and it would seem to be related to that.

17.6.1 update- I have an iPhone 12 and I am also experiencing call issues (drops/ sound cuts out, so the party on the other end can’t hear me). Once the call drops, my phone won’t ring out (doesn’t connect to make the outbound call), nor will my phone ring when others try to call me back. This happens daily, at least 2-3 times per day since last week.
