Apple recently released a beta version 3, for iOS 17.3, after the previous update many users complained that the iPhone remains stuck after the update.
Apparently, the new iOS 17.3 Public Beta 3 does not fix this problem. Many iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro devices get stuck with black screen during update.
Fortunately, if your iPhone got stuck during an iOS update, the solution is to hold down the side button for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears. In my case, this method worked and my iPhone 14 Pro started normally with the new update installed.
In addition to the iOS 17.3 Beta 3 update, Apple also released beta 3 updates for watchOS 10.3, iPadOS 17.3, and macOS Sonoma14.3.
Stolen Device Protection, is the most important feature introduced on the new iOS 17.3 version. It is an additional security measure for sensitive data (passwords, bank cards) in case the iPhone is stolen.
How do you restart a frozen iPhone?
When the iPhone gets stuck after the iOS update and doesn't listen to any commands anymore, the simplest solution is a forced restart (Force Restart).
- Press and quickly release the volume up button.
- Press and quickly release the volume down button.
- Hold down the side button.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
This method works for all iOS 16 compatible models.
