Any brave soul with a 13P had success as well?

Have you managed to revive your phone with apple configurator ?

So, if our devices are already on 17.6.1/21G93, ow do we get 21G101? I read there is more in 101. Is there any guidance on this?

Edit: figured it out. 😌

All the data has been intact after the loooong recovery. Re-updating via IPSW to see if the second time's a charm.

EDIT: Second update attempt went fine without a glitch. I'd still caution waiting another day though especially if anyone's got a 13Pro.

It happened as well on my 15 Pro.

And an iAppleBytes video, to see how is it battery wise.

If you check for updates with iTunes, it states that there is a new update due to the build number difference.

i’m trying to understand what is the point of this update…

guessing since so many complained about 17.6.1 this is what they gave to us instead of 17.6.2 It was a vocal minority so they didn't feel the need to release 17.6.2

It is still the .1 we previously had.

I read it's due to a problem with Advanced Data Protection setting not enabling or disabling properly for some people.

Thanks @OceanWraith, didn't know to check it that way, as over the air wasn't offering the update since I did the original 17.6.1! Great tip.

but why not allow OTA download?

most people won't even know there's an update available

valid question but Apple did this same thing for a .x update a few months ago can't remember which one it was

 

[Chuckeee]

Could it be an issue with the installer, not the actual load? I recall some people had to install it twice for the installation to actually succeed

"This update fixes an issue that may prevent access to Apple Fitness+."

What’s the app? Reminders?

 

[Populus]

Now I have a dilemma: Should I install the older build, or the newer one on my iPhone SE 3? I’ll do it restoring (probably a DFU restore) using my Mac anyway so…
