Apple withdrew back iOS 17.3 beta 2 version officially, Here's why
iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3 betas 2 were aired last day, but just after three hours of release, Apple removed access to these software updates from the Developer Center and all other mediums. This is because plenty of users are facing “bricked iPhone” issues after installing the new version.
To address the issue, Apple removed the iOS 17.3 beta 2 version and even issued an official statement, "iOS and iPadOS 17.3 beta 2 have been withdrawn temporarily due to an issue that prevented a small number of devices from starting up". So, it will be available soon after this bug issue is addressed as the company temporarily rolls back the software version.
Users experience stuck Apple logo when booting up iPhone after installing this latest beta version of iOS. Some believe that this could be due to the “Back Tap” setting, which is affecting the boot loop, and only users who have disabled this function causing the iPhone to not start up. Rather, some users facing problem, when this option is enabled. Therefore, it is not clear how the Back Tap is related to this bug.
How to Fix stuck iPhone at start up on iOS 17.3 Beta 2

computer is up-to-date then connect your stuck device with USB Cable.
2. Open Finder on macOS Catalina or later,
otherwise open iTunes (Make sure your iTunes is the latest version), if iTunes
already opened, then close and reopen it. Check your macOS version.
3. Keep your device connected unless you see a
recovery mode screen appear:
· For iPhone 8 or later (including SE 2nd gen), quickly press and release the Volume up button, then down one's, and lastly hold the side button until the recovery mode screen appears.
· For iPhone 7 series and iPod touch (7th gen) hold the side and volume down buttons at the same time, until the recovery mode screen appears.
· On the iPhone 6 lineup or earlier (including iPhone SE 1st Gen), press and keep holding the Home and Side buttons at the same time, until you do not enter recovery mode.
4. Now locate your device on your computer. Choose
Update from the pop-up message that appears on your computer screen. Wait until
your computer downloads software into your iPhone.
5. If your device takes more than 15 minutes and
your device exits from recovery mode, let the download finish, then repeat step
2.
6. Once the update is finished, Set up your device.
