My iPhone 15 Pro has been working fine since launch. Today I got a prompt to update to 17.1.1, so I installed it. After the update process, it went to a “Attempting data recovery” screen for about 20 minutes. After that, it went to my home screen, and then informed me that I have an “Apple Pay Issue”
Your iPhone is currently unable to use Apple Pay.
Clicking “Learn More” tells me to contact Apple support. I have tried, and got a total idiot (sorry for being harsh, I’m pretty frustrated right now) who just told me repeatedly to contact the Apple Pay billing department.
The iOS 17.1.1 release notes say “In rare circumstances, Apple Pay and other NFC features may become unavailable on iPhone 15 models after wireless charging in certain cars”
Except the opposite has happened to me - my phone was working fine, and now after a “fix” was deployed, I suddenly have the exact issue that was mentioned.
Anyone else experience this?
