Apple Users Facing iCloud Backup Issue After iOS 16.3 Update: Report – Mint Condition

Many users have complained about the issue in several Apple support forums and Reddit. With iOS 16.3, Apple made some security changes to allow the use of physical security keys to secure accounts.

But users complained that they saw a message saying “An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later” when trying to sync iCloud Drive, Photos and Backup Download. In most cases affected by the current issue, two-factor authentication is not enabled.

Some reports suggest that enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for Apple ID may be a workaround. However, even those who have enabled 2FA are also facing the same problem.

The AppleInsider report states that some users have contacted Apple Support and it’s possible that Apple is aware of the issue. Can we expect a fix soon? Maybe.

Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook recently made some remarks during an earnings call that revealed some of the California-based company’s future plans. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in his PowerOn newsletter says the rising price of iPhones may not be a problem for Apple. Responding to the question of whether the increase in the iPhone’s average selling price was sustainable, Cook said: “The price increase is not a problem. In fact, consumers could probably be persuaded to spend more. I think people are ready to really stretch to get the best they can afford in this category.”

According to Gurman, Cook suggests that the iPhone has become “an integral part” of people’s lives, and consumers are now using it to make payments, control smart home appliances, manage their health and store banking data.
