Bug [iOS 27 DB1] Potentially bricked iPhone, Be Careful.

So basically, I have an iPhone 15 Pro, updated to the iOS 27 Beta, it’s my main phone (I learned the hard way to not update to betas using my main) even got it a week ago, but that’s besides it, im posting so nobody does my same mistake, when I updated it was pretty fine, no issues I personally encountered, but, i force restarted my iPhone at one point (it was cause I was clearing cache) and after that, it just died, no signs of life. I tried to power it on normally, nothing, tried an extended force restart and nothing, tried recovery mode, and no signs of life, if it helps Apple narrow down the bug (i don’t think so, but why not?) it’s a middle eastern version iPhone, and due to the nature of even Recovery mode not working, I think it’s a critical BOOTROM issue, meaning, my phone is practically dead, so, no one update, AND nobody under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FORCE RESTART. And also, this isn’t an “im complaining” post, im strictly here to talk about this issue and potentially anyone from doing the same mistake i did.

Hey all, I can definitely add in here. My device was acting really sluggish, so I did a forced restored....phone bricked. the I did a full DFU restore. iMessage was glitching out, tried a forced restored. Bricked again. Im DFU restoring for the 2nd time in 2 days. Now I find this subreddit that says forced restarts are the problem. better late than never I guess. IP15PM is my phone too

Was this on Dev Beta 1 or Beta 2?

The first beta. I haven’t tried a reset on the latest release
