    The reason I say it’s a software issue is because the broader community has been trying to reproduce this over the past week, and folks can reproduce it on a broad array of iOS 17 and iPad OS 17 devices. It’s not just the 15 Pros.

      Fair enough, but I still say we wait and see before we say anything confidently. Apple has lied to us in the past.

        Given that it’s reproducible on old iPhones and iPads, and there are reports of iOS 17 compatibility issues with apps that go back to Beta 1, it seems like hardware is probably not the big culprit.

        The big giveaway should’ve been when people were reporting issues with the Pros and the base 15. The base phone is basically year old hardware.

        People should be shitting on Apple’s software QA.
