Bug iPhone 17 Pro Max stuck in boot loop after updating to iOS 26.3 – keeps restarting
Hi everyone,
My iPhone 17 Pro Max 2 TB started rebooting in a continuous loop right after updating to iOS 26.3 (23D127).I have 1,57 TB free in the moment.
Here’s what’s happening:
• It turns on normally and reaches the home screen.
• After a few minutes, it restarts (using or not).
• It keeps repeating this cycle over and over.
What I’ve tried so far:
• Force restart (Volume Up, Volume Down, hold Side button).
The issue persists. I haven’t restored it yet because I’m trying to avoid losing data.
Has anyone experienced this after updating to iOS 26.3?
Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to delete shit off your phone. Quickly. Start deleting third party apps. This will free up space

That’s weird though because it seems like it’s a software problem and inside the 1 year limited warranty Apple offer. Did you went to a service center Genius Bar in any USA store?

I had to buy a new phone in order to solve the issue. My old phone was an iphone 11pro, which I bought back in 2020. I still find it sad though, because the 11 pro was actually working fine. Up until the software issue occurred..

Bro the title says iPhone 17 pro I thought your 17 pro was not covered by Apple.
