hello friends, I bought a 15 pro with 17.1.1 and I wonder if I should update to 17.3, what would you advise me? Anyone with pro having battery and performance issues?

Absolutely update. The newer versions have important security updates and bug fixes (tho as you can read here, many folks are still experiencing various bugs).

Yes, supposedly this change is by design.

Really? That's a bad design choice.

Know why they decided to stop automatically downloading new podcast episodes? I just don't see any logic for removing automatic downloading.
 
After copying 4gb of photos from an sd card to a folder on my 15PM the files are not available until I go out of the folder and back in. This does not happen on another 15PM with an older version of iOS 17 (not sure which version).

The "screentime" thing was debunked in the original thread that discussed this security issue.

I didn't follow the procedure as I never bothered to try to set it up in the first place, but it's something like: you click "forgot screentime password" then "forgot apple id password" and you eventually end up back where you can reset everything with just the phone's passcode.

At least, that was the last I read on the topic - maybe that was then debunked later :)

The new 17.3 stolen device protection does the job.

The trick is to use your partner’s Apple ID and password when setting up the screen time passcode.

It’s one if the infamous battery and data hogs.

Live Activities appear broken in iOS 17.3. I’m using the Uber Eats app and I’m getting a frozen spinning wheel in the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen. If I kill the app and run it again it will work for a few minutes and stop again.

This happens on both my iPhone 15 PM and iPad Pro 11.

I don't know about all of you, but I feel like performance has decreased since 17.2.1. I'm getting more stutters and missing animations now like swiping away the music app into the dynamic island and waking up my screen sometimes skips the animation when AOD is on.

That's odd, I updated from 17.1.2 to 17.3 and the performance and battery have been outstanding so far.. Really smooth animations and no stuttering at all.

Ran into this last night and seeing it again today.

When I open the Weather app, the static shot of the precipitation map is accurate.
When I open that and trigger the animation, it goes blank.
Seeing it on both the Pad and iPhone (15PM / IPP 11)

I've noticed the same on my 15PM.. This bug has appeared in earlier versions of iOS17. Was working fine on 17.1.2 but when I updated to 17.3 it stopped working again

Hi all. 13pro, 17.3. I have black Beats Fit Pros. Since 17.3 the little dropdown popup below the notch upon connection shows white buds. Anyone else seen this? Is it still in 17.4? Thanks

Hi. Aside from that bug, how’s the overall performance of your iPhone 13 on 17.3? And what about the battery life? Thank you.

That doesn’t look good to me . 13 pm, iOS 17.3

Nope, doesn’t look good to me either, especially being a max sized iPhone (big battery) with an A15 SoC, which is very efficient. Probably it is because it is indexing if you recently updated it?

Here’s my advice: If you can, first delete the Marvel Champions app if you think it can be the culprit, and leave it rest a bit under WiFi connection and charging. Just in case you can also reset the network settings. And leave it for some hours or even a whole night to let it do it’s things.

If none of this works, you know the deal: clean install.

I think I’m gonna refrain from updating my A15/M2 devices, for now, so thank you for sharing. iOS 17.4 looks promising in terms of performance and it is just at beta 1. Hopefully the final release will be even better!

Yes, I’ve installed this update a couple of days ago, when it came out . Unfortunately I can’t delete the marvel app, but it seems to consume battery only when I’m actually using it. However, I might try to reset the network settings and see if this is fixed. Otherwise what would you suggest? To create a backup with iTunes and reinstall iOS, then restore the backup?
