iPhone users claim Apple's latest iOS update is making devices 'unusable'... ... trends now
Apple's lasted iOS update is making some iPhones 'unusable,' forcing users to seek help from professionals at the tech giant's stores.
Many of these frustrated users have sought help on social media platforms, claiming their apps have crashed and smartphones are freezing.
One of these unlucky iPhones owners told DailyMail.com that her smartphone updated Wednesday morning, but the screen was unresponsive when she attempted to unlock it with a swipe.
Only once she brought it to an Apple store and had them 'revive' the device did it begin working properly - but there is away to fix crashed iPhones at home using a laptop.
The latest version of iOS 17.4 has rendered some iPhone owners' devices 'almost unusable,' but there is a fix
'I woke up this morning and noticed that my phone had updated at some point overnight,' the unlucky iPhone told DailyMail.com.
But strangely, her phone was showing the startup screen that says 'hello' in different languages, like the display when you turn on a new iPhone for the very first time.
'It said on the bottom to swipe up to continue, but the screen was completely nonresponsive,' she said. 'I tried restarting the phone multiple times, but it did not improve.'
'The Apple store employee said that the update probably got stuck and made the phone think that it was still installing, which is why it was unresponsive,' she continued.
'Another person was in the store across from me with the same issue,' she added. I think they did the same thing for him.'
Apple's latest operating system for iPhones, labeled iOS 17.4.1, was released 'over the air' (OTA) starting on March 21, 2024.
But to upgrade to the last software, an iPhone must have a certain amount of battery and be on WiFi - otherwise the system will update automatically.
And it appears those who have waited to download are being hit with bugs.
