lol iv been waiting all day for this like every hour of my day i was looking at the apple website to see if its updates and i was so happy when i saw this comment
For me I couldn’t click on QR codes, couldn’t select text in images, keyboard goes down randomly, videos on safari play but you can’t control the screen. 10/10, no problems
this video is SO HELPFUL. i have been searching and searching because i stupidly listened to my friend and got the beta version and hated it. so THANK YOU!
This video was very useful. My iPhone 14 Pro has been frozen for 5 times constantly, and I believe it's because of iOS 17. I will never download a beta version of iOS again. Thanks!
Dear Aaron, many thanks for your very helpful video! What if the iCloud backup on my iPhone 14 Pro Max just overwrote the iOS 16 backup with the iOS 17 one? If I understood you correctly, there is no possibility to restore my iPhone from this backup if I decide to downgrade it back to iOS 16, right? Many thanks & kind regards from Germany, Ilja
iPhone about to make a new start up company extremely happy. They need to make their customers happy. I’m starting to think they don’t care anymore 🤦♂️ 😢
A quick question should I keep my phone synced until my Mac completes the 4 syncing steps on Finder or can I unplug my phone from my Mac after my phone is restored?
My org's MS Teams does not support IOS 17 and now it won't open and so it's recommended to downgrade to previous version. Now when I connect my phone to the MacBook, a message comes up stating "A software update is required to connect to 'iPhone name''. I installed but it came up again. Clicking installing again and after waiting, it stated "Installation failed - Can't install he software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server". Note that my MacBook shows it's up-to-date. How to get around this issue?
Decided to downgrade mainly because of the "glitchy" animations on iOS 17 beta. My iPhone is nowhere near Full Storage, but these laggy experience is quite annoying. Using iPhone 12 (Will probably upgrade to iPhone 14 Pro Max after new iPhone launch);
iOS 17 isn't even that big of an upgrade. I rather wait for commercial release in mid September 🎉 Watching this downgrade video just for fun as all of ur videos are informative.😊
I downgraded because after 7 day of install I literally dropped my 7% battery health i dont know what it was but it happened and also provided very less backup😔
hello, same thing happened to me, but directly after the update it dropped from 100% to 93% and the next day it dropped to 92 and now I'm back to ios 16. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation with beta software, definitely talk to apple about this issue. I have created a complaint and I recommend that you do too. Note: They said we can't do anything because it doesn't fall below 80% :)
on the Choose Backup page it only shows one date which was after updating to IOS 17 and no other previous backup options. What's the reason and how to access previous backups?
After upgrading to iOS 17 my face I'd is not working and my front camera is not working I really need to do this. But on the system do you access it through app?
I tried downgrading from ios 17.2.1 by following this video however it still shows up as 17.2.1 after everything I`ve done and my face id still doesn`t work. After upgrading to ios 17.2.1 my face id suddenly disabled and I was hoping if I downgrade it to ios 16 it would go back to normal, however it didn`t. I`m so stress right shesh
@@armelynanticuandoapple stoped signing iOS 16 so therefore it cannot be downgraded anymore. This happens a few days after a new update is released. So simple answer is you cannot downgrade to iOS 16 anymore.
i upgraded my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iOS 17 public Beta, and I had major bugs, so had to do the same restore from recoery mode, waiting september and official release, like black screen, my notification bar with battery status was disappearging it was so so bad.
I made a mistake and updated XR to 17 but battery drains very quickly so i have been trying to go to to 16 but although i back from july i always comes back to 17 :((
@@MandoDinDjarin You will stay on that version you can either follow this tut to go back to 16, or you can wait until the official version is there for ios 17 and then stop getting dev updates.
There’s too many small changes in iOS 17 that make one-handed use impossible. The changes from iOS 16.6 to iOS 17 make using my phone extremely difficult as I have short thumbs. The 'crop' feature in Photos can't be reached, neither can the 'Done' option in the top right. This is highly problematic as I can't reach these when working one-handed. Next, the 'End call' option is directly above the 'Home' bar-when navigating between screens while on the phone, it's easy to hang up by accident. Next, when my phone is switched to silent, the alarm only vibrates, when it formerly would still sound the alarm tone. The 'Answer call' button is also too low to use one-handed as, again, short thumbs and a large phone. Bottom line, I want IOS 16.6 back.
Normally, my battery health was 100%, yesterday I switched to ios 17 public beta and it suddenly dropped to 93% and today it has dropped to 92%. I talked to Apple Support and they told me that I need to go back to 16 urgently, such things can happen, they said beta is not stable version after all. I have used various betas for years, this is the first time I have come across a beta version that harms the device.
I think it's probably even more likely that it's not the battery that's deteriorated, but rather a software problem/misreading. Wonder if anything changed with downgrading?
After the downgrade my battery dropped from 92 to 91 and now it's stuck at 91. I talked to apple but they are not taking any action. I guess they don't take any responsibility because installing beta is at the user's decision.@@sensationlive3528
I made sure APPLE SUPPORT is aware of the issue, from what I heard is that APPLE is going to remove all the new ringtones from IOS 17 and fix the bug with custom ringtones not showing up across the board. This is going to happen with the update IOS 17.1 I believe.....not really sure
I think I’m going to have to do this. I installed 17 last night and now my iPad is crashing a lot and I’m not receiving notifications from marketplace nor am I able to respond message from other selling groups on FB.

My iPad Pro 2018 that I purchased brand new in 2020 now won’t charge after updating to iOS 17 beta it was charging just fine before I upgraded please pass the word onto apple so they can fix it with another update
i regret 6 months ago when bought new phone that i updated everytime ios now because it gives you only security improvement and with more and more added performance goes off everytime but i will stop doing it also i still have 100% battery health so its all great anyway ugh lol P.s. its great that all u said but i want apple to give me that option anyway i dontwant apps installing what i mistakenly did anc because that apple didntbgived as option for that so i will stick to this version until something goes unexpected but for now when time comes i will be happy that i didnt but they did hahah wjo cares i dont play games or something hmm
This seems ominous seeing as iOS 17 public beta is now available and am installing it. Makes me wonder if it was a good idea given the timing of this video.
I didn’t even know there was a ios16 I think apple needs notifications when they release a update I have my automatic update on but my phone doesn’t update 😂🤦♂️🤷♂️
The main issue I had last time I installed ios16 beta on my main phone was my banking apps didn’t work. I don’t mind playing with them on my iPads but not my iPhone.
same here. I experienced it back in the first ios 16 public beta. but this time I have a backup android phone for banking needs so I gave this public beta a try, and surprisingly, my usual banking apps are working.
Thank you so very much I really appreciate your updates I really appreciate it but I can’t go back to the iOS 16.5.1 version bc my MacBook Air is not compatible it’s 2015 n I’ve tried it before n I also tried the other method to n it didn’t work either bc the second button is turned off n I can’t figure out how to turn it back on Aaron so I guess I’ll stay with the iOS 17.3 beta n every since my mom’s friend told me how to get rid of the x-ray on my phone n apple support or those people through the feedback didn’t know how to fix it n people in some of the utube channels like to look down on me bc I’m not tech savvy n I come here to learn how to do stuff like this n more info n I’m not very good at this stuff n I know it that’s why come here to

Just to confirm if you stay on dev 17 and wait for public 17 will we auto migrate and we don’t have to go through all this correct?
Correct
You can change the iOS Version in the ,,Info.plist,, file in the Backup
