My old iPad Pro (now my sons iPad) did that recently. He was watching YouTube, it froze then just got stuck in a boot loop
No idea what happened but it was completely dead

I still won’t be installing any Beta as of yet. Not in a rush for new features.
I mean we are like 5 weeks away from the official release so not much point upgrading to the beta at this point.

Did you get it fixed? Mine is totally dead now, am hoping that the iOS 17 official release might be able to sort it out as 16.6 won't install. Could be a hardware issue, something might have blown up inside.
We never bothered with AppleCare as we always said we'd upgrade when it broke.

No, it’s properly dead. Can’t even get it in to recovery mode long enough to do anything as it just boots again

Not sure if apple covers this for software updates. Contact them and ask just say you were doing a software update.

I would never install beta OS on my Apple devices. Bricking a iPhone 14 pro or a iPad Air 5 doesn’t sound fun.
not a hope in hell of compensation either

TBH, I don't trust Apple with ANY OS updates. I thought my watch had bust yesterday as it took an age to update with only a .1 release.

watchOS updates are always slow. Very slow.

It’s actually really hard to fully brick an iPhone or iPad, almost always a way to recover.
Still way faster than the series 2 days those literally took about 30-40 minutes.

They do tell you it's in beta.. and you are responsible updating your device and if it breaks it's on you.
Normally when there's an issue with the OS bricking the device it's down to a hardware fault somewhere.
But is beta OS covered in hardware replacements free does anyone know?

Should be as they do a public beta.

is it possible to get off a beta and return back to your previous OS on the iPad?

Shocked nobody has replied to you by now.
I just put the beta on since it's in final stages for release so I been testing it.

Is this on an iPad? Any issues? I’ve not bothered with the betas on iPad or iPhones up until now but suppose it won’t be long until final release.Bit late, better than never but https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-downgrade-ios/

Has the RC hit the beta channel yet? It tends to be a day or so before the official release date.
