Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

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?

I had THIS very same problem before today update. Every time I turned those off and then restarted my phone then few hours later they all got turned back on! So as long I don’t restart my phone again after I turned them off then they stayed off.

Hopefully today update will fix this! I’ll continue to monitor….

Did you also see significant locations being logged while you turned it off!? It turned on after this update, and checked the option and it legit logged three locations. I am going bring this to the media.

My before and after. I waited 15-20 minutes post-update to let my phone do its indexing (during which it did get warm).

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.

It is also possible that they worked with said 3rd parties to fix the issue. Or they changed code to not let 3rd parties cause the issue. The fact that they fixed it does NOT mean that it was on the Apple side. Though of course it could be. I don't have insider information to make those judgments.

I just installed today update about 1 hour ago so far it didn’t turned itself back on yet. But from my experience last time, it could take a day or so after I rebooted my phone. So yea, I just rebooted my phone again and will keep checking for few days to see if it automatically turn back on or not.

If people got fired every time a software release had bugs in it, nobody would be employed.

Maybe you are correct.
But they have a bunch of idiots there and this would be the only way to get them to use their brain and put some effort and pride into what they are doing. I’ve never seen so many glitches and issues in apple software like in the last 10 years.
There are some issues that are so obvious that I can’t stop thinking they are not using apple devices at apple.

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.

Same phone. Pro 256gb. No issues what so ever.

Right, you an I are both conjecturing, so I agree my reply was a hyperbole.

But case in point: the prime suspect that is Instagram, I myself don't even have that installed. And I got INTENSE heat issues on my 15pm. I just updated mine to 17.0.3, did a torture test with MagSafe charging + thick case on + running a game that I know would heat it up last week, now I got nothing, the phone is as cool as it should be. That game of course sees no update by its developer since weeks ago. Consider this anedotal but that is that.
 
Sweet, just upgraded from a 12 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max, so won’t have any of the heat issues that others had from being a launch day adopter.

There are a thousand problems that can happen and every time they add a new option in settings they make 10 more ways one can occur. It’s completely impossible to have a bug free OS at this point. 16.0 was inexcusable though, 17 is a huge improvement. Even saying that nobody should lose their job over any of this.

My first Geekbench test showed a significant dip in multicore score, but yeah I waited a bit and tested again and it's back to normal.

No overheating issues before the update, though.

It’s impossible because they ruined it, it is out of control.
If they had proper management and proper developers we wouldn’t be where we are.
We need Scott Forstall and Bertrand Serlet back.
The Apple Maps initial release was a mess yes and it happened under Forstall, but that’s something I can see as justifiable, it’s one product messed up, I can’t justify shipping an OS like macOS or iOS full of tens of obvious issues and glitches.
Siri not working, HomeKit not responding, phones not connecting to wifi, airdrop failing constantly, continuity not working between Mac and iPhone when multiple users are logged in, macOS logging in without even a password typed in, macOS not opening files after switching between user accounts and requiring a logout, iCloud not syncing, I could go on for three days.

If they were using macOS or iOS how could they not see that iCloud doesn’t sync? It’s just not possible, but it gets through and gets released.

I have lost so many files because of that, I’m furious at apple.
