The explanation is found in the fact that many users have woken up in recent days with the strange request from the iPhone to have to re-enter the PIN code. However, it doesn’t look like a common reboot. If we access the battery data, we see how the mobile appears to have been turned off for several hours. What has happened?
Different versions of iOS affected
A priori, the most direct relationship could be established with the update 17.0.3 which solved the overheating problems that affected the latest iPhone model. However, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with it. And, if we go to Reddit, we can see how there are a large number of users who have been affected with all types of iPhone models and versions. Some of them even without having updated to iOS 17. Therefore, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with it at the moment.
In addition to this, the problem is not just that the iPhone has restarted. Something that could happen without major controversy when carrying out any small update that corrects a critical security problem. But, if we access the battery settings of the terminal itself, we realize what they are like. several hours the device appears to have been turned off, as can be seen in the photograph that one of the many users has published in said forum.

Waiting for official explanations
At the time of writing these lines, and although they have already passed more than 24 hours since the first user made the problem public, Apple has still not mentioned the problem.

From the possible iOS failures that have caused this emergency solution by Apple to errors derived from the configuration of the servers in the Cupertino company.
While it is true that the problem does not seem to be more serious than what we have already mentioned, fear has set in among multiple users who have participated in the Reddit thread due to the impact it can have on daily life. As the possibility that mobile alarm does not ring at the agreed time in the morning due to the power outage.
