Remember the early rumors that 17 was going to be a Snow Leopard bug fix and performance overhaul release? I sure wish it was. Seems the yearly release cycle has made them incapable of a solid first launch, and now it takes a few point releases just to get through the major bugs. Let alone what aren't bugs but annoying little visual hitches and lags.
Got a tip for us?

"Apple Preparing iOS 17.0.3, Likely With Bug Fix for iPhone..."
If it's for the iPhone, shouldn't it be iPhoneOS 17.0.3?
Think of the iPhone hardware as a car’s engine. The accelerator pedal is the software.
If your car is not in gear and you floor it, the engine will get hotter.
This has been an issue on what the last three flagship phones?
the 15 launch along with finewoven have been upsetting.
Three days after Apple said that it would release a software update with a fix for a bug contributing to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating, MacRumors can confirm that Apple is now internally testing iOS 17.0.3.
It's unclear when iOS 17.0.3 will be released to the public, but the update will likely be available either later this week or next week.
Apple did not provide any specific details about the bug that it identified, but it said that it will not be reducing the performance of the A17 Pro chip with its planned software update. Apple also said the iPhone 15 Pro's titanium frame is not to blame, so it appears that the overheating issues are not the result of hardware deficiencies.
The same bug fix should eventually be included in iOS 17.1, which is currently in beta and is expected to be released in late October.
Apple added that the overheating issues were also related to some apps overloading the A17 Pro chip, including Instagram, Uber, and racing game Asphalt 9: Legends. Apple said it was working with the developers of these apps to address the situation. Instagram already released an app update with a fix on Wednesday. Uber also updated its app today, but whether it addresses this issue remains to be determined.
Not all iPhone 15 Pro users have experienced overheating, and it's unclear how many users have been impacted by the issue, but it should be fixed soon.

They should have made this patch before the phone comes out.
If they're close friends or family members, they should love you enough to talk to you through a method other than their beloved Facebook/messenger.
Most of the overheating is from iCloud restores.
Just one year later, when people forgot the drama today, a different flavor of the same issue pops up on iOS 18 release.

I know you are likely joking but there is little evidence that so many people are having overheating problems. For everyone on here who posts that they are getting too warm, there are others who say they have not had any such problem.
That is the normal, new phone setup process and associated heating. Some people are having trouble to ongoing sessions of unusual heating. Hopefully this new iOS version will fix the bug at the heart of the problem.
Hopefully all the overheating issues are resolved with this update.
They could argue the same way - if I love them enough, using Facebook/messenger will surely be no big deal.
Ending contact over the choice of messenger app seems a bit harsh - especially when I do have a Facebook profile (that’s been dormant for years at this point).
Sure OK... im not defending Meta but I disagree with what you said. It is Apple's core job to ensure any third party is adhering to specs being built into their apps BEFORE they hit the apple store. Makes sense? So yes it is apple to blame. If that 3rd party cannot meet the requirements, then they shouldn't be on the platform. that simple.
Probably true, but developers don't have much possibilities to optimize their apps. Most mechanisms are controlled by iOS, which is quite closed OS and you cannot really manipulate how it's using resources like CPU. If some app causes overheating, then it's probably a bug in lower layers of OS.
I remember both AMD and Intel having many microcode updates, especially Intel after Meltdown and Spectre which were probably included in updates from Apple at the time, never seen a A series have a known code update but we are not privy to what Apple does behind closed doors, after all the M1 had a unpatchable hardware flaw that could allow different processes to quietly communicate with one another, which broke operating system security, but it didn't pose a huge security issue for users, it was not fixed in any M1 series and I don't think it was fixed in M2 either as it was not known about when the M2 was being designed from what I have read.
I want to say that using the camera app I notice the iPhone is excessively hot. It doesn't happen with other apps (and I don't have Instagram). I wanted to know if it happens to more people here with the camera app or just with some other applications
