FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apples iOS 17.3 update brings crucial improvements to iPhone security, but some users are reportedly encountering problems when attempting to download the new software revamp.

As spotted by Phone Arena , complaints have been made by both Redditors and members of the Apple Community regarding a download-blocking iOS 17.3 pop-up. Specifically, the pop-up reads: Unable to verify update. iOS 17.3 is temporarily unavailable. Try again later. Affected users are then being given a choice of Retry or Remind Me Later options.

Some Reddit users claim that hitting Retry or simply restarting their
iPhones solved their iOS 17.3 download problem, but for many in these
forums, that method hasnt proven successful. Enter Redditor ShibamMandal, who has since posted a three-step workaround for anyone encountering this frustrating download issue. Reddit user chickin_14 was unable to download iOS 17.3 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max (Image credit: Reddit / chickin_14)

According to ShibamMandal, youll need to clear the botched iOS 17.3 update from the list of apps in your iPhones Settings. To do this, go to Settings, then General, then iPhone Storage. A botched iOS 17.3 file should be visible in the apps list, or at the bottom of the page. Select it, then delete it.

Once done, youll want to force restart your iPhone. For a detailed guide on how to do this, head over to our guide on how to force restart an iPhone ,
but heres the method in brief: First, tap the volume up button. Next, tap the volume down button Finally, hold the power button until the Apple logo
appears

iPhone restarted? Next, youll want to head back into General, then Software Update. Try downloading iOS 17.3 again (check out our guide on how to
download iOS 17 if you need more detail). Et voil! iOS 17.3 should begin downloading successfully.

ShibamMandal notes that, while attempting to download the update for a second time, youll need to ensure that your internet connection doesnt get interrupted. In fact, this may be the main reason why your download didnt
work the first time, so its worth double checking your Wi-Fi connection, or the strength of your data signal.

iOS 17.3 still not downloading? Another common issue that prevents updates from downloading and installing is a lack of available storage space. iOS 17 will show as around 1GB in size, but you'll likely need at least 2GB free in order for it to install. Luckily, its pretty easy to free up that amount of space head to General, then iPhone Storage, and delete (or offload) an app
or two. You might also like Wear glasses? This neat iPhone camera trick can simulate your natural vision Get a new iPhone? Here are 3 time-saving iOS settings to activate now Optimize iPhone Storage explained : where your
