Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

“The iOS 17.0.3 and iPadOS 17.0.3 updates also address a kernel vulnerability that could allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges. Apple claims that it is aware that this security flaw was exploited on versions of iOS before iOS 16.6.”
I wish this also addressed the overheating and resulting screen dimming of the 13 Pro Max.
Yeah my iPhone 15 still gets warmer than my previous iPhone 12, which NEVER got like this doing basic stuff.
+100 to this.
See updated post. My second run after the update showed essentially identical scores to the pre-17.0.3 update.
I hope that poster's bosses are as lenient with the poster's mistakes as the poster wants Apple to be with theirs.
Nobody is saying the phone doesn’t heat up. What dismayed me were all the conspiracy theories floating around, and the generally overblown reaction to all of this, and the general willingness to believe in lies like a rumoured poor thermal design being the cause. Delight in the prospect of another “gate” spelling trouble for Apple. Phones melting. Fire Tim Cook.
It turned out to be a nothingburger. Yes, there a bug. Apple will fix it. People will continue to enjoy their iPhones, and life goes on.
And by this time next week, the internet will simply have flitted to the next manufactured controversy to bash Apple over.
People don’t want the truth. They just want to hate on Apple, and they will blindly accept any rumour that fits in with this worldview where Apple sucks.
i myself never had the overheating problem, but glad it fixed others overheating
Are you sure it’s not time to your home as that’s what I get since I synced the phone to the car’s Bluetooth?
So has this even fixed the issue? Lots of comments here but anyone who has battery drain or overheating can say if this update solved the problem?
It fixes other issues as well. There is always a list, especially soon after a major release.
Another 13 Mini user here since start of this year. I'm still on 16.6.1 and using this opportunity to ask if you've had any regrets (or negative experiences) with moving to iOS17?
My phone battery quite literally melted just navigating for an hour, went from 75% down to 29% - this was pre-this update on the 15 Pro Max. I wasn't aware there that there was an overheating issue. However, on another drive I had my phone mounted to the dash & got a message on the screen saying that charging will resume once the phone cools down. The phone wasn't too hot to the touch, so I'm not sure what that was all about.
I still haven't been able to get Message indexing to work on three attempts to iPhone to iPhone transfer, even with this latest update. Nobody is talking about it though.

You're not a developer, I take it. An OS is an extraordinarily complex undertaking, made all the more so by a strict annual release schedule.

Well I had warm phones. They are still warm post upgrade. So yeah fix is a flop here sadly.
Apple should perfect what they have before talking about next year. It’s a total embarrassment! While Cookie sells stock today us morons are fumbling with defective nonsense.
Is this sarcasm? I’ve never had that on my 13 Pro Max
How many people are running Geekbench loops all day versus plugging their phone in to charge which causes even an idle phone to get hot to the touch?
iPhone 15 pro iOS 17.0.2 vs 17.0.3 not much of a difference. I'm also pusing the phone to the limit for the past 10 days and didn't feel any overheating as well.
