Fix for "Apple ID Verification Failed" after iOS 17 v3 Beta Update

You are a lifesaver bro thank you very much.

Encountered this on iOS 17.0 (21A5303d)

For me I couldn't invoke Siri while selecting the Wifi.

But power button allowed me to gain access to wifi settings, I entered a manual false ip to the wifi settings, this disabled internet access and I got pass the "Updating Apple ID Settings" stuck.

BEST ANSWER EVEER!!!!!!!! WORK NICE FOR ME AND YOU JUST HAVE TO HOLD THE POWER BUTTON 1 SEC, THEN WHEN THE MENU SHOW UP ASK SIRI TO AIRPLANE MODE ON. FORGET ALL YOUR SAVED WIFI, AND THEN TAP CONTINUE. DONE

You still should be able to turn on airplane mode via SIRI even with an eSIM. You may have to use accessibility features to navigate to Siri. This is still happening after every beta update for me.

Thanks for the help! I do not have Siri set to listen, so I had to remove my SIM card, and then select no wifi network. After that it worked like a charm!

Had the same issue. Disregard all the Siri stuff above.

For iPhone

1. Remove SIM card
2. Turn off your router
3. Reboot phone (Vol up (release) press vol down (release) and hold down the power button until screen goes black (release power)

If you cannot turn off your router, just move out of its range so the phone can't connect to WiFi.

Once on the home screen, just connect Wifi again and put sim card in again.

Glad I wasn't using eSIM!

Funny thing - I guess rebooting it and placing it inside a microwave oven TURNED OFF could also do the trick.

Previous poster @odin may have been joking but the microwave actually did the trick.

Tried listening to others, but with Siri disabled and no assistive touch to re-enable it I couldn't turn on airplane mode.

iPhone 14 Pro Max so SIM card to remove (eSIM)

Tried suspending service to my phone number via carrier's website but it would still receive cell signal, therefore stuck

So here's what I did:

• Unplugged my WiFi
• Unplugged my microwave
• Put phone in microwave during boot
• Shut microwave door
• Phone starts with no service
• Crack open microwave door just enough to tap through setup process (phone does receive some cell signal here)
• Re-close door and signal drops to SOS, verification fails and I am prompted the iOS TOS.
• Phone unlocks!

As ridiculous as it sounds, it sure as hell beats doing an entire restore.

Hope this helps someone work through this. Could build a faraday cage or go into a deep underground parking garage if you don't have a microwave.

Cheers.

Just had this problem with iOS 17 beta 7 … followed the later instructions to remove my SIM card and then quickly get past the wifi choice before it connected with my WiFi network. there was a dialog about needing to use wifi to continue, but i got past it. all good, because i didn't / don't have Siri set up.

I would add to the solution to forget any saved wifi passwords and networks on your iPhone prior to applying the iOS update. This allows you to skip or just press continue without selecting a wifi network.

I had this issue from the start of the iOS 17 beta on iPhone 12 Pro Max. I suspect this happens on other models, and yes asking Siri to turn airplane mode was the way to get past the Apple ID verification issue. If you have your data backed up on iCloud, just restore your phone on your Mac.
