Apple released iOS 17 for all supported iPhone models in September, a week after announcing the iPhone 15 lineup. The platform was initially riddled with bugs, from connectivity and user interface glitches to overheating issues on the latest models. of the iPhone 15 Pro.
Almost two months later, the company released several updates with fixes for the problems mentioned above, however, a new bizarre bug was discovered in iOS 17, causing the cell phone to freeze completely. However, there is an easy solution to resolve the issue.
The iPhone 15 Pro is a significant upgrade over the last generation iPhone 14 Pro. However, the overheating problem took away most of the initial enthusiasm.
Many reports indicate that the iPhone 15 Pro models were overheating due to the iPhone’s new titanium finish. A YouTuber also pointed out that titanium had nothing to do with the problem and that Instagram was to blame. Apple took note and issued a statement, suggesting that a bug in iOS 17 was causing the new iPhone 15 Pro models to overheat.
Apple released iOS 17.0.3 with a fix for the overheating issue, and the whole fiasco was over. iOS 17 still contains some bugs that need to be fixed, but a new bug discovered in iOS 17.1.1 is causing iPhone models to crash entirely. Your iPhone won’t register touch commands, and pressing the Volume and Power buttons won’t work either.
Note that the bug is hidden in the App Library section of iOS 17. You can check out a user’s video on X for more details. Some testing indicates that the bug is affecting a wide range of models. Models like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Pro Max crashed. According to the user, the bug is part of iOS 17.1.1 and also affects the new iPhone 15 models.
The bug will not affect users independently as you will have to launch it yourself from the App Library. However, anyone who accesses your phone can trigger it, rendering your device useless.
If you have fallen victim, you can force restart your iPhone using the volume rocker and power button. All you have to do is press and release the Volume Up button, then quickly press and release the Volume Down button and press and hold the Power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
The strange bug that freezes the screen was tested on iPhone models running iOS 17.1.1. Apple will potentially fix the issue in its upcoming iOS 17.2 update, which is currently in beta. We will update this post as soon as there is an update on the matter.
So, will Apple take a long time to release the fix?
