• After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.

It's been over a week since the iOS 12 dev beta dropped....

Just experienced my 1st “ring of death”since iPhone 5!!! My iTunes wouldn’t even recognize my phone nor could I put it in dfu. I just searched forums and came across a post where user experienced same thing and he found a video where the guy said to hit up volume down volume and power then the Apple logo would appear and restart without losing anything. Crazy as it sounds it worked!! 45 minute drive home without my phone was crazy 🤦🏽*♀️ of course I’m not downgrading 🤷🏽*♀️

That method is the new way to do a hard reboot. It was rolled out last year with the new iPhones.

Could you elaborate on what was messed up and what device you are running it on? The beta 2 has been running great on my 8 Plus and X.

Thanks!
