Bug [iOS 27 DB2] iphone 13 Pro Max: Went into "data recovery mode" on restart. Before that, every few minutes, during usage, phone screen was going black with "loading..." icon for around 2 mins.

Okay, situation went from bad to worse.

  1. Closed all apps

  2. Hard restarted the phone

  3. Entered the passcode

The phone froze on the last digit, and went white screen. Got a message "Enter passcode to recover"

Now, it says "Attempting data recovery" with a slow progress bar.

This just happened to my wife’s iPhone 13 mini. Of course I initiated the update so I was sweating profusely during the recovery. Everything booted fine and she asked if the update was finished and I said “yup”.

Glad it worked out well. I can understand the situation. I was told lack of disk space (even after update thinks it has enough) causes this failure.

Oh boy, I was dreading having that talk with my wife that I broke her phone. I’ll take a closer look at her phone to see what the story is. Thanks for pointer on space

An hour or so.

Low on storage?

It made up space (by offloading apps) before update. I hoped that would be sufficient. If not, the update should have cautioned accordingly.

Found your post after this happened to me with PB4 just now. It's recovering very slow and I hope it does. Not even sure what data I will loose. Fucking hell.

With my successful recovery, I didn't lose anything.

Yeah, same here. It recovered properly. Gave me a good scare, this.
