iOS 17.3 Beta 2 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[RSmith2023]

I guess it will be pulled soon.

only if enough people complain..

They'll probably just shut down the OTA aspect

update via IPSW on my 15PM had no issues..

Same here. Update took ~5 minutes. Everything seems to be working fine for now.

PSA: iOS 17.3 beta 2 is bricking some people’s iPhones

 

[MDawson247]

Not a good start. iPhone 14 max is bricked. Stuck on frozen spinning wheel. Filed the report with the feedback app.

Looks like I missed MLVCs post by a couple of minutes.

Same on my 14Pro.

You always rocking ispw update and not ota?

 

[Donga120]

This update will get pulled.

 

[BLtheP]

Stuck as well on 15PM.....how do we get out of this? We can't downgrade back to 17.2.1 can we? Assuming the issues from early 17.0 downgrades in the 15 series are still a thing.

iPhone 15 Pro, iPad Pro 10 and Apple TV 4K third gen upgraded to 17.3 DB2 without issue.

Apple Watch 9 later tonight.

Second attempt (after DFU) to install beta 2 succeeded. It's now Restoring from iCloud backup.

Def holding off. Why does 2 almost always suck?

Enabling Airplane mode and disabling Bluetooth to disconnect Apple Watch allows iPhone to sync and remove logs in iTunes again with this beta.

Crap I started reading this thread right after I clicked install now lol.... its at the white Apple screen with the little loading bar right now... I really hope mine works... I'm such a dope for not reading first.

*UPDATE* Pheeeww it worked just fine.. I dodged a bullet there.

Did not work for me - disabled Bluetooth and put my iPhone 15 in Airplane mode and then sync'd with iTunes. Still have dozens of logs remaining.

Update seems to be having issues on my 15PM.
Seemed to have a couple flashing screen reboots and is now stuck with a frozen spinning wheel in the middle of a black screen.

Quite a number are reporting their phones, the 15PM was mentioned by several, are now unusable after this update. Beware!

 

[cbreze]

Gonna wait and see, glad I read thread first.

Apparently back tap causes it (according to 9to5)

It will leave some logs behind since it is a beta, but most of them synced to my computer.

All my logs were copied over to my mac, when I could get a sync to work. But none were ever removed from the device.

AppleCare to the rescue. The rep didnt even wait to escalate.

Watch Series 7, 14 Pro, iPad Air 5 and the latest ATV updated all without any issues. Super fast it was
