Ugh, I don't have an iPhone XR to test on. Does it work if you upgrade to iOS 15?

[elalish]

And that's especially weird because there were so few changes from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1. Any more detail you can give would be helpful - does this happen on any other devices/browsers?

I can make an iOS upgrade and see if it works :-) just realised how outdated my OS is.

I have an iPhone XR (15.6.1) and its working with the latest version of model-viewer.

Ok updating to 16.3.1 also solved this for me

I've just experienced the same issue with my models on 3.0.1 and also the model viewer website. iOS 16.3.1, iPhone 13 Pro. Safari and also Chrome.

Console logs THREE.WebGLRenderer: Context Lost.

The models and the model viewer website were all working on the same phone around a month ago.

I've just updated to 16.4 and everything is working again Safari, but still not loading in Chrome.

@mrdoob Have you seen any reports like this recently? I'm tempted to say it's just a random WebKit regression and ignore it, but curious if there's some known workaround...

[mrdoob]

I don't think I have no.
