A temporary fix involves putting the device in DFU mode and restoring it through a computer. Apple has pinpointed an iOS 17 bug that could potentially disrupt your iPhone 15 upgrade experience. Specifically, the issue arises during the initial setup phase of new iPhones that come preinstalled with iOS 17. The glitch is known to cause iPhones to get stuck in a boot loop, displaying the Apple logo on a black screen. If your new iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro encounters this bug during the data transfer process, you may find your device stuck on the Apple logo screen. This issue is not limited to the new iPhone 15 series; it may also affect those who are switching to any phone that runs iOS 17 and uses the data transfer option.

To perform this, you need to connect the iPhone to a PC or Mac using a cable, press the volume up button, press the volume down button, and finally press and hold the side button until an icon appears, indicating that the device is in DFU mode. Your device will then be recognizable through Finder on macOS or iTunes on Windows, where you have the option to click the 'Restore' button to reset the device. Upon restoration, you can start the setup process from scratch.
