Apple withdraws iOS 17.3 Beta 2 after bricked iPhones
Shortly after Apple released its iOS 17.3 Beta 2 update, the company was forced to suspend the update process. Several users had reported that their iPhones broke after installing the new version of the operating system. The affected iPhones could then no longer be started.
Important
iOS and iPadOS 17.3 beta 2 have been withdrawn temporarily due to an issue that prevented a small number of devices from starting up. If your device is in this state, you can recover it by entering Recovery Mode and restoring a previous version of iOS. Instructions can be found at https://support.apple.com/HT201263.

Apple even issued an official statement that the iOS 17.3 Beta 2 version of the software “prevented a small number of devices from starting up.” Some users believe that the bootloop issue is related to the back tap gesture. Apparently there have only been examples of users with this problem who had deactivated this function.
However, there is a very simple solution for those affected users who are also faced with a broken iPhone after installing iOS 17.3 Beta 2. To fix the problem you just need to enter recovery mode. You then revert to the previous iOS version and wait until Apple releases a more stable version of iOS 17.3.
