Anyone’s else iPhone XS is bricked after iOS 17 update?

Since iOS 17 including the latest update my phone is basically broken.
I have to restart it once a day because apps become entirely unresponsive until they freeze. The phone heats up and the entire OS is glitching out. Often restarting the phone is hard because it becomes so broken and unresponsive. iOS 16 worked smooth without any issues. I have used every iOS and this is by far the worst update. It is atrocious how bad the quality of Apple software has become.

It sounds like you need to restore your device, it shouldn't be doing that.

My iPhone 14 mini acts similar after 16.7.1. It was completely unresponsive (black screen, warm to touch) for 5 minutes. Safari has also been buggy and unresponsive, while other apps like chrome were fine.

Xs max is on latest iOS 17 version. Max runs very well on iOS 17.

Still having the same issue with the latest version. Any idea how I can get my iPhone working normal again?

Try to restore iOS 17 with the IPSW file and give it a few days to finish indexing and stuff, it will fix weird issues.
My XS is running 17.2 RC and it runs great.
As long as you choose to update your iPhone with the correct IPSW file, it will not erase your content and settings, it'll just overwrite the entire OS.
Also, make sure you have a back-up on iCloud or an encrypted backup on your Mac or Windows PC.

‘Bricked’ means it won’t even boot.

Wipe your phone and start afresh, don’t restore from a backup. It’ll be fine.

@ibookemo is right, restore your device without using your backup. If your backup is corrupted you'll just keep having the same issues..

Why are you assuming the fault is in my backup/data, if the issue clearly started with the update to iOS 17?
