Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

Not showing for me, yet.

Ugh you think I can downgrade to iOS 17.03 from iOS 17.1 beta 2?

Hoping to do the same

 

[yeah]

I actually thought iOS 17 would be the "Snow Leopard" update for iOS 16, but it appears that it's only dragging the bugs from iOS 16 over and creating new ones which require several small point releases to fix. Apple's software development and QA has really taken a nose-dive for the past few years.

Someone needs to test the performance on Geekbench before and after this update.

Two thinks.

1. Let’s see if this actually works
2. Let’s see if this affects the A17 Pro

 

[randomnut]

Do we know it contains the fix for overheating? Apple site only mentions two security fixes

Edit never mind the update description mentions the overheating issue

 

[dontwalkhand]

Definitely installing this one right now. Does this fix the BMW killing the NFC issue too?

 

[spartan1967]

If I downloaded this update, I would do a before & after CPU/GPU benchmark test and note as many details as possible the results give you. Anyone with a temperature tool should also note measurements while these tests are being performed.

Thankful for this, installing now!

Maybe some of you guys who've been here for years can chime in but... it sure seems like there's way too many updates these days compared to ten years ago. Seems like every few days, there is a reported issue, then I have to sit through another update. And another, and another, and another and... it's just out of control.

Yeah quality control is crap. Anyone who argues otherwise has blinders on - and more power to them if they can't tell the difference I guess.

when you are on silent mode vibration doesn't work on my 15 pro max I have mine set to just badge alerts on my 15PM tho my 14PM worked just fine lol I have done everything setup as new iPhone and changed and played with every setting you can think of.....

 

[MrRom92]

Too little too late, iPhone return window is only 14 days and I am traveling so there is no time to be playing around with such nonsense at this late stage. Looks like 14 Pro Max is it for me. Good riddance. It should not have taken this long for this update to arrive when their brand new flagship device is this problematic.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that the overheating was likely caused by "compromises made in the thermal system design," and he suggested that Apple would only be able to fix the issue by lowering processor performance.

Apple said that it has no intention of tweaking the A17 Pro chip, and that the titanium and aluminum design of the iPhone 15 Pro in fact provides better heat dissipation than the stainless steel frames used in previous models.

I love Apple's response, basically saying Kuo has no idea what he's talking about.

How does this prevent apps like Instagram from over-using CPU resources though?

Didn't Meta fix the problem last week?

So you'd prefer fewer enhancements, improvements and fixes? This seems obvious, but if you don't like it, don't update manually and just let your phone update automatically overnight whenever it wants to.

I'd prefer them get it right the first time. Or, failing that, get less wrong less often.

 

[Makayla]

hopefully the feedback will come out soon too

 

[gbf]

As soon as I did update. Went on TikTok and screen had dimmed. Way to cook!

Yes, because as we all know most software releases from other companies are bug free.

There's never been a bug-free release in the history of software.

This seems like a warranted punishment for using TikTok though.

 

[sbailey4]

Is this update only for the iPhone 15 or all iPhones?

nope. iPhone 12 getting it now.

It's amazing to me that users have kept gaslighting those who encountered the issue: "it's just warm. that's not overheating"; "it's indexing"; "you are using it too much"; "no issue with mine"; "first world problems"; "just be grateful"...on and on and on. The issue is with Apple's end all along. Even Apple admits it. Next time, just accept that some people might have problems with their devices that might not be happening to yours, and that the problem could be with Apple and not the users. You can believe other people's complaints and still be happy with your own device. Don't take it personally.

They just won’t even come into this thread, even if they see and actually install the update, they will pretend this is just routine point release. And when the next issue arises they will be back to the usual gaslighting.

The best part about this is the actual Apple release notes even says this: ”addresses an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected”. By Apple standard this is equivalent to “lol we ****ed up“.

Yes, you can. The steps are on Apple’s beta site. You will not be able to restore your data from a backup made with 17.1 though…

All I'm saying is there seems to be far more updates now than there was ten years ago. That it seems like it's near-constant, and that I find it very annoying. I just updated the thing a few days ago. I don't want to do it again. That's all.

 

[Wags]

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

Well said, just how not see this during any real testing or not to expect developers will push the limit of whats available for their app to run on OS.

 

[jz0309]

nice, quick fix out. now fire the inept engineers who manage to miss it in the first place.

Just as you (I assume) those engineers are human and therefor make mistakes… I guess you’ve never made one?
