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.
I am also an Early Adopter for new Releases, but if you would wait 1-2 months after the initial release, you would probably have a pretty solid working OS.

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.
Same thing happened to me on 16.5 and 16.5.1. Kept heating up quickly (13 Pro) and drained the battery. Reached out to Apple, they asked if my screen was too bright, or possibly Wi-Fi issues. Then they wanted to run a diagnostic. I upgraded to 16.6 and all was fine.
 
I've never experienced the issue on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, but good on them for rolling out a fix pretty quickly.
Same here. No heat issues here, either. It's odd how some phones are affected and some aren't. I'm sure the issue is real, 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.
Cool then dont. Its ok if you don't want to update. (Not real sure why since its automatic and can be done while sleeping) but no matter you are free to choose. Just turn off auto updates and carry on. Problem solved.

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.
If anyone wants to stick to features from 5 years ago, have at it. I like new better features.
And having been in the IT business for over 50 years, I know how hard it is to eliminate all bugs and test ALL variations of users, applications, etc

Same plague happened to my iPhone 13 Mini, more so on 16.5.1. 16.6 got it fixed.

It's been over a week and my phone never even got the 'indexing' prompt within Messages. I did the turn off/on trick, got the prompt for a few hours - not much else indexed, it's since disappeared again. One week, hardly any attachments within conversations. They're all there if you scroll through conversations, but not indexed into the dedicated conversation photos section within a conversation. Never had this issue with any upgrade and I've upgraded every year. Does anybody know if this is on the radar to fix?
