Fix the Damn iOS 17.3 Update Not Working Issue

According to one of the users, restarting the iPhone can help fix the problem. Another Redditor said that removing the iOS 17.3 update from storage can help because it requires downloading the file again before installing. You can do this by going to Settings >> General >> iPhone Storage >> Clear iOS 17.3 Update. Additionally, you need to force restart your iPhone, and here's how to do it.

First, press and release the Volume Up button quickly.
Then do the same with the volume down button.
Next, hold down the side button on your iPhone and release it once you see the Apple logo.
Once restarted, go to General >> Software Update And download iOS 17.3.
Install and you should be good to go.

One of the writers mentioned that you need to have a good internet connection while downloading and installing the iOS 17.3 update to avoid any problems in between. Most cases where iOS updates don't work are due to a lost or interrupted internet connection while downloading or installing the patch.

Another user from the Apple community suggests using a VPN to check, download and install the iOS 17.3 update which you could try as a workaround. Otherwise, use iTunes on your computer to update to the latest iOS 17.3 update on your iPhone which should work. The last resort is to call Apple Support if you fail with no resolution possible or available.
