Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

[TinyMito]

Well, my iPhone got warm from updating at least.

 

[Ribitsch]

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 still doing background processing post upgrade - I would recommend repeating the test in a few hours.

I will

This update almost gave me a heart attack. Was in the process of updating and then requested to rest my phone

You mean the update process heats up the phone enough that it gives that ”please chill me down” warning? For an update that aims to fix overheating? LOL talk about paradox.

Holy ****. We will get a field day about this.

PSA ... let's all start the update right before today's emergency broadcast test (US) so that our phones are mid-update and don't go off all at once 🤣

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.

Why an iPad OS update if this an iPhone and A17 pro issue.

Hadn't noticed that! Thanks.

And I don't know.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

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.

Wow. That’s quite a nerf.

I’ll take it if it brings battery life back where it was, it’s not like I ever felt lacking in performance on iP13 Pro. But if I was a 15 Pro owner, I’d be royally peeved.

 

[sbailey4]

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.

 

[raythompsontn]

Oh, the irony. My iPhone overheated while installing the update to prevent overheating.

 

[Gathomblipoob]

How ridiculous to assume that energy came out of nowhere.

You're thinking of the Galaxy Note 7.

Even your before is weird. Here is mine before (posting after soon):

 

[MNGR]

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

 

[Gathomblipoob]

Hadn't noticed that! Thanks.

And I don't know.

Security fixes?

 

[wplynx]

Let me know if anyone is able to downgrade to 17.03.

 

[DesertCanuck17]

do you think anybody really cares that you were at your nieces birthday party? Seriously?

BabaBooey is becoming my new favorite person on this thread. Just ruthless to the point. LOVE it. 😂

 

[ohthehorror]

Will install as soon as I get home

Why did you feel the need to share this? Who cares?

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?

Uh oh. Can someone else verify this drop?

See also: analysis and journalists may have no idea what they're talking about, and everything should be taken with a grain of salt.

Too many look for the sensational headline instead of taking the time to get it right.

 

[HouseLannister]

Well installing the update made the phone kind of warm

I'll repeat it later, I could always have some background processing going on.
