This problem occurs with all new iPhones in the upgrade order from base OS to iOS 17. My son bought a new iPhone 14 Pro Max with 16 installed and it hung after the upgrade to 17 and the migration from his old phone. It rendered the new phone inoperable on cellular.
Apple ID's are designed to be used by one individual - I'm surprised it's worked so well for you so far! With the sharing options available, there's really no reason to be sharing a single Apple ID.

My sincere thanks to everyone here continuing to beta test iOS17 for those of us holding out to update in January 2024.
That is one of the worst iPhone bugs I have ever heard about. And I've been using iPhones ever since the first model that was released in 2007. Tim Cook really doesn't care about software quality.
Exactly this. I learnt my lesson back in the days of iPhone8+. Since then, I never upgrade my phone or IOS until at least January/February. By then, most bugs and and/or manufacturing discrepancies have been either discovered, fixed or ironed out. I've not had a problem since adopting this annual update/upgrade approach.
All those negative reports about battery and performance...
Think about what you do with your phone. Is it really necessary to look at it for 12 hours a day? I hardly use 20% of battery during the day.
About performance: just did a Geekbench 6 and it performs better than the average 15 Pro.

Yeah, that’s a strange one. I don’t recall Apple ever staggering the release of the same firmware for different generations. I’m still on 16.6.1 with both my 12 Pro and 14 Pro (not bothering to go to 16.7). I’ll wait until a few days after 17.1 is released, maybe 17.2 if I keep reading about serious bugs. I just updated my 3rd generation Apple TV 4K to iOS 17 which is the only Apple device I feel comfortable upgrading to 17 at the moment.

As with every iOS bugs it doesn’t affect all iPhone 15.
why would people think it does??? :scratching head:
The updates and bug fixes are flying thick and fast.
Just So that a brand new iPhone can become a useable entity.... Hmmm! Is Apple working bug fixes and updates into a paid subscription service? 😉
Sorry, just could not resist.

If only.At this rate I will be updating my phone more than Im charging it.
Gotta hand it to Apple - as much as people were annoyed by having to update their 15 right out of the box, that phone to phone transfer process has come a long, long way! I was very impressed!
I'm going to try this HowToGeek thing (maybe by the weekend) to try to get my custom tones back on the phone. It's how I got them on there originally, 3-4 years ago.

I still have all my downloaded and self made ringtones on my 13PM after updating to iOS 17.
Maybe this means we actually will get new iPads by the end of the year. An update to help with transferring to a new iPad. Of course, people could still use this update to transfer to the other iPads on the market, but those wouldn’t be pre-loaded with iPadOS 17 yet.
I remember a bug in one of the iOS 9 updates that could only be resolved in an Apple store by internally disconnecting the battery - the phone had to be completely off to resolve the issue!
This is not even close to the worst, and could easily be avoided by the user updating the phone before transferring data - which realistically they should do anyway because the version of iOS on a new phone is likely to be not up to date and cause issues with devices that have been updated to the latest.
I hardly hear my phone in the other room. This was never an issue before. Last time I checked I have pretty good hearing. 😕
