Unexpected iPhone Shutdown Issue on iOS 17
Several users have reported that their iPhones running iOS 17 unexpectedly shut down overnight, prompting the need to enter their passcode upon restarting. This issue has been discussed on Reddit and Mac rumor forums. While the cause of this problem is still unknown, it is an inconvenience for users who rely on their iPhones for alarm clocks and other tasks.
Delay in Release of M3 MacBooks
