Attention Apple beta testers: The latest iOS 17.3 version is bricking iPhones

After an extended holiday hiatus, Apple launched the second beta version of iOS 17.3 on Tuesday. However, severe installation glitches were almost instantly reported. The latest issue creates what is known as a "boot loop," causing iPhones to continuously reboot without successfully initiating the system. This comes after the initial iOS 17.3 beta was debuted on December 12th, a mere day subsequent to the release of iOS 17.2. The imminent iteration is primarily focused on rectifying bugs and enhancing security, whilst also introducing at least two novel features: Protection for Stolen Devices and Apple Music's collaborative playlist function. Although featured in the iOS 17.2 betas, this playlist function permitting friends to append songs to joint playlists was excised from the end product. is a brand-new feature that seeks to limit the potential of one's iPhone passcode being exploited. Presently, culprits can alter one's iCloud code using just their passcode, which can then be employed to infiltrate sequestered passwords and accounts. However, this advanced feature will enable users to activate Face ID verification to gain access to passwords and more. To rectify these issues, Apple is probably going to withdraw the iOS 17.3 beta 2 version and replace it with an upgraded construct; hence, for the time being, it is advisable to desist from installing it. Michael Simon, a long-standing Apple enthusiast since the era of the iPod as the iWalk, remains in eager anticipation of the return of his first PC—the IBM Thinkpad with its modifiable drive facilitated by the elevated keyboard.
