Still all the issues remain…
iOS 17.4 // Loss of Cellular Connectivity, slow 5G speeds, dropped calls and eSIM second line not connecting at all
iOS 17.4 seems to have broken a lot of phone functionality of my 14 Pro. Calls getting dropped frequently 5G connection is sometimes OK, sometimes super slow and sometimes no internet access at all. (Already checked with my provider, multiple other phones, I seem the be the only one with...forums.macrumors.com
Lock sound here. Think they removed unlock sound years back? Get haptic feedback when I unlock.
Where are you located? Could it be related to what type of network tech/frequencies being used?
Early days but I’m finding that the battery is draining slower on my 15 Pro.
👍🏻 15 Pro here. I always like to give it a few days of indexing before I judge it.
It’s not life altering. Battery is probably a little better.
What I was trying to say is all the features are running fine now & I am not in the market anymore to test any new features that I don’t need. Also, I will be waiting until at least this time next year for iOS 18 installation, if at all, because I am almost positive it will negatively impact my 13 mini, which I want to keep for a long time due to it’s size.
You know what? Maybe I should do the same because I value my SE3 a lot.
That's really solid daily battery life & I would question if I should update as well. Also, thanks for sharing what apps you were on & iPhone you have. Gives us a thorough look. 👍
Nope - Reddit is full of the same issues everywhere in the globe - Australia, US, UK, Germany everywhere. Also in 13/14/15 Pro users.
It's not network provider related - something completely messed up the way of handling the modem on the iPhone.
This is really unacceptable. iOS and macOS both breaking the core fabric of the usability for significant users is just not what is expected of Apple.
As it isn't happening to everyone it could be related to what LTE bands being used (guessing now). I would report this to Apple so that they can collect data and hopefully solve the issue.
I'm using a 13 pro and a regular 14 as my daily driver (private and company) and don't have these issues.
Not sure if any of the security updates released with 17.4 are relates to the modem, the ones listed don't mention it. But Apple doesn't always seem to list all the security fixes in a release.

I agree with my 15 Pro Max. I don`t know why but iOS 17.4 had some strange background activities and drained my battery and changed it from a good one to a meh one.
Now with iOS 17.4.1 it seems to be better again.
This update so far is really smooth and doesn't make me hate my XS anymore. Hopefully it stays this way but great update so far. I entered the gym yesterday with 100% battery and left with 100% battery after a 2.5 hour session. I can't recall the last time my XS has done that so consider me impressed so far...
I am not seeing any improvements so far (15PM and iPad Pro 11). So far not seeing any new bugs.
Same with me, tap to wake and raise to wake are not working as on 17.3 and before. It's weird because I haven't noticed that on 17.4 RC, it started with the one that got released to the public.This has started for me in 17.4 as well. Was hoping fixed w this beta.
I'm also still having that 1-2s pause in the Face ID animation when I use it in safari and other apps that let me log in using it, even in the photos app.
