Reason for Apple’s halt of iOS 17.3 Beta Update for testers
A new iOS update is facing major issues in its beta avatar, forcing Apple to halt its release to fix the issue before it affects other testers. iOS 17.3 is supposed to be the first major update for iPhone users in 2024, and it hasn’t been off to a very promising start. Many iOS beta testers claim that the iOS 17.3 update made their iPhone unusable because it wouldn’t turn on after installing the update.
Bricking iPhones is no small matter, even though it happened in beta where these incidents are common and expected. But Apple has decided to address the issue and stop releasing it to prevent more people from falling into the trap of bricked devices.
For all of you who have already faced the iPhone bricking problem, Apple suggests that you enable recovery mode on your device which allows the iOS version to go back to a more stable iOS update and wait for the company to provide the latest and stable one. A version of the iOS 17.3 update that should arrive in the coming weeks.
iOS 17.3 promises to be an interesting update for iPhone users, and some delayed features are expected to be released. Apple is also planning a major AI integration with the next iOS update, which could include a new-look Siri that could finally bring some ChatGPT-like features to iPhone users. WWDC 2024 could be the platform where Apple’s direction towards the future with the help of artificial intelligence will be revealed in front of the world.
