What? Really? But you see an update and you can't install it or Mac/windows says that there is no new update until you turn off your watch? It sounds like a stupid bug like many other on iOS 17.

Upgrading, backup works fine. The issue is getting stuck during just the sync process that a few of us are seeing here.

Odd Syncing Issue Of 15 Pro Max To MacBook Air
 
Does Standby mode still count as screen time? I’ve been getting an extra 6-8 hours of screen time from using standby mode at night.

Is this normal?

I’m hoping it’s a bug that’ll eventually get fixed.

This is also an issue with MacOS and my iPhone 14 Pro & iPad. It’s been this way for awhile. We’re just going to have to wait for a fix.

I concur and that’s how I updated yesterday soon after the OTA was released.

Yes it does pulls it down from Finder. there's a few extra steps but is doable. Once you download the IPSW 17.1.1 drag it to your desktop. Open Finder click on your phone and before you click "CHECK FOR UPDATES" hold down "OPTION" key on the MAC computer than click CHECK FOR UPDATES. A windows will prompt open and drag the IPSW 17.1.1 there and click open and Finder will install it.

I'd prefer to just update directly from Finder, but since it won't find the file, I'll just do this instead.

Edit: just showed up. After 24h.

Getting calls and Text messages from numbers and it is obvious they are spam.
Problem is that after I block them, they still come through.
Didn’t have this issue till this update.

Does it say, “potential spam”? I recently started getting that info with spam calls but I’m not sure if it was an iOS update or my phone carrier.

Additional Notes
How to install beta via OTA?
  1. Enable Beta Updates (Settings>General>Software Updates>Beta Updates)
  2. Check and sign into the right Apple ID to access beta
  3. Select which beta you would like to receive (Public/Developer)
  4. Hit "Back" and pull down to refresh
  5. Do an encrypted backup or iCloud backup before installing the beta from release build
  6. Install the beta
If you no longer wish to receive beta updates:
  1. Turn off the Beta Updates (you can also sign out of your Apple ID to unlink your developer account)
  2. Wait for the next public release or follow the guide below to install the IPSW release build
Troubleshoot: Sometimes, the beta update will not show so you may need to enable/disable Airplane Mode or restart your device before rechecking for update.

How to install beta via IPSW on Mac?
  1. You will need to install either Xcode beta or MobileDevice.pkg which can be extracted from the Xcode beta (tap with two finger or right click to Show Package Content>Contents>Resources>Packages>MobileDevice.pkg - this will work on older Macs that do not support the latest macOS or Xcode beta)
  2. Do an encrypted backup in Finder in case you need to restore your device
  3. Hold down Option + Check for Update and select the appropriate IPSW file for your device (whether you're updating to a newer/beta firmware, reinstalling the same firmware or downgrading to previous firmware while retaining all your data) downloaded from Apple using your free developer account. Note: You must have an active internet connection as it will check the IPSW signing status before it will proceed with the update.
  4. Enter your iPhone passcode once prompted to proceed.
Notes/Tips:
  • Always keep a backup in case you need to restore your data if you restore your device
  • It may be better to close all apps before installing the updates and/or turn off your device for about a minute or restart a few minutes after your device is updated
  • You can also manually select the IPSW if you are restoring your device using Option + Restore iPhone. Restore will wipe all your personal data which you will need to restore your backup either using iCloud backup or Finder/iTunes backup
  • You do not need to install the MobileDevice.pkg from each Xcode beta version unless Finder does not recognize the new iOS beta
  • There is no MobileDevice.pkg equivalent to iTunes for PC which would require a new iTunes to support new/beta iOS
  • If you receive a new iPhone, you can connect to Mac to update or restore your device to the latest iOS before setting up your device.
  • You can also use the Recovery Mode/DFU to update or restore your device by manually selecting IPSW

For me ScreenTime hasn’t reported my other devices since iOS 15 and even then it wasn’t doing so reliably. It hasn’t worked reliably for me since iOS 14.

As of iOS 16 it never shows my other devices.
 
Has this update improved battery life with anyone else? I have a 15 pro, it’s 3pm and battery percentage is at 91%. I find this quite remarkable, normally it should be at around 70% now. Maybe the calibration is wrong but I sure hope not.

For me it's exactly the same as 17.1 was, and way better than 17.0.3 (15 Pro Max).

Reply #2 ;)

I checked and these were numbers that were listed in the Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts list. They are also listed in my Hiya app as Suspected Spam, General Spam, or Fraud. In Hiya General and Fraud are blocked while Suspected is allowed through pending my review to either block or allow going forward.

One of the texts was in Mandarin with a Los Angeles #! (Translate works :))

Checked all settings. Did a hard reboot. See what today brings. 🤞

When the phone came back from the update, it froze upon me entering my 4-digit PIN. I couldn't get it to unfreeze. Eventually, it went to a white screen with the message "Attempting to Recover Data".

That had a progress bar that moved like a glacier, but my phone did eventually come back to life. Took about an hour.

Little soon to tell but looks about the same. 15PM.
