Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

I mean the iPhone has become more powerful and capable of doing many more things than before which means it is more complex with so much hardware inside and software to go on top of it all.
My 13 Pro has been running like an oven since I put iOS 17 on it, so its definitely not just a new phone thing.
It’s just three patches after release. They could have done nothing. The rapid response is good.
Never had a problem 15 Pro 1TB Japan model, got ok day 1. I heard problem triggers were instagram and phone calls.
I don’t use instagram.
I haven’t made a single phone call. I actually can’t recall when the last time I did.

The heat problem is being rebranded into wintermode. You know to keep your hands warm and that the screen still is able to detect your touches.
The bigger versions usually need manual update through settings and does not install automatically.
Your iPhone needs to be on iOS 17 before the Watch gets newest watchOS update.
Apple can't release a patch! Daring Fireball said the overheating problem is a "nothing burger!" https://daringfireball.net/2023/10/overheatgate_nothingburger
I usually enjoy his posts but really wish he wasn't such a blind fanatic sometimes.

Warning guys: Apple is enabling ALL location services after this update...again!
BS privacy talk...and making it hot again due to this.
These settings were always off. All of a sudden I see Significant locations turned on with these updates and even three location that were registered WHILE it was never turned on on those days.
Does this mean Apple is secretly still recording locations while it is turned off?
How is it possible three locations on three days appear listed?

just after i updated to 17.1 Beta and my battery still drains like a speed boat, from 100% to 85% in 2 hours, battery went down fast when i made phone call for about 45 minutes.. never experienced overheating i just noticed, it warm when its mounted to my mag safe charger but phone is okay when in use... just battery issue for me. i'll probably take battery fix issue over overheating issue i can just wear thick gloves from burning my hands lol =))

Weird. Some of my previous phones have done that before if the cellular signal gets messed up for a while after a restart or update. I’d give it another restart cycle (and/or a day or two) to see if it calms down, but definitely bring it back to Apple if not.
I'm an EE with 50+ years' experience and unfortunately, after a device is heat stressed, its MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is reduced. Meaning, early failure.
And you would consider 100F heat stress…for silicon?
Same here, my 15 pro max is cold even during charging, I never close my apps, just been on instagram for a while and it’s still cold.Byeeeeeeeeeee
Im going to carry on using my perfectly non-warm 15 pro max.
This happened in iOS 17, did you check after that initial upgrade and are just noticing now?
enough with the benchmarks...the bottom line is that Apple didnt screw the A17 pro
Exactly, things were not like this ten years ago.
We have updated four times (including the update to iOS 17 itself) already since iOS 17 was released!
If I recall correctly, it seemed around 2017 is when QC really took a massive step down, and it seems it keeps getting worse.
I am glad they fix the issues quickly, however, by arguing that because a lot of us are not happy we have to update all the time now, we do not like getting new features and what not is ridiculous. I would like it if Apple could get iOS released properly the first time, and for each release after. I can see an issue here or there, but FOUR times already!
You are better than this Apple. Do better Apple!
Did you read my reply out of context? I was replying on specifically the part where Apple blames 3rd party apps doing something wrong in their code that partly contributes to the issue. While it may have some truth to that stance, but Apple's reaction does not line up with that. A quick iOS update to fix this means Apple is within power to control and eliminate this by itself. It means regardless of state of 3rd party code, the origin of the heat issue is on Apple's.
Has anyone tried to ascertain why some models overheat and some dont? I have a natural titanium 256GB pro with no issues whatsoever. A friend has black pro 512GB with severe issues. I updated via phone-to-phone, friend updated via icloud. We both have all the Meta apps but obviously not the same amount of photos and not all apps are the same. If this was a legit software bug (and not a bad batch of cpu) I think it would be more widespread.
Definitely not. I turned them off 100%.
Significant locations is turned on with this update and I can see my visits of the last three days. How is that possible? That only means Apple is recording things while it is turned off.
