Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

[IIGS User]

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.

I DO believe other people ARE having issues with their devices.

The issue COULD be with certain apps and how they are programmed. Net time, just accept that some people might not have problems with their devices even though they are happening to yours, and that the problem could be with the programmers and developers of 3rd party apps, and not Apple. You can accept that some people had no complaints with their devices, even though you did. Don't take it personally.

As for me, I had no issues with my 15PM. That doesn't mean other people have or have not had issues with it, and it doesn't mean any particular issues is at "fault". It just means something somewhere went wrong and it needs fixing.

Which apparently, was addressed in a timely manor.

After updating, my phone feels like an ice cube. Thank you, Apple.

Here’s a Geekbench after update from a 15 Pro. I didn’t do one before so take what you will from it.

 

[FunkyTang]

Does the 15P or 15PM still overheat after the OS update?

 

[vegetassj4]

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 🤣

No way. I want to get my Zombie Powers™ Upgrade

Zombie conspiracy theories spread like wildfire ahead of emergency test

Rumors swirled the day before the planned nationwide emergency alert test.

Everyone is jumping the gun like crazy about the Geekbench scores... give the phone like a day or two to account for indexing/background processes and then run those tests.

 

[dstow]

Anyone notice their Cycle Count increase on the Battery for no reason after the update? I'm up to 3 now - Phone has never been charged to 100% yet? - bizarre.

That's seems to be fine tbh.

Yeah it’s a lot closer to what you posted earlier.

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

Apple claim that some apps were over-using processor resources was bogus. It is OS responsibility to manage the resources and monitor the temperatures (along with the other hardware components involved in the latter process). The app has no way of knowing whether it "over-uses" the resources or not. iOS supposedly is a multi-process OS. What if there are two apps running. None of them on its own "over-uses" the resources but combined they do. Only OS can see it. Unless Apple wants the apps to monitor the temps and get involved into the resource management (which would be plain stupid).

The fact that they asked the developers of certain apps to throttle their apps indicates that Apple was not sure they have good control of the problem.

It may be in that beta already.

I doubt it, there was no mention. Maybe beta 3. I'm on the beta but I guess I will go through the enormous hassle of restoring.

 

[bradl]

Hadn't noticed that! Thanks.

And I don't know.

It's in the release notes. 2 bug fixes with one being actively exploited that went back to iOS 16.6.

BL.

 

[ddhhddhh2]

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

Alright, how about we give some Instagram engineers the boot? I hear problems get solved real quick that way!

That’s quite a misreading of what happened…

Running warm does not mean “overheating”

The likely few hundred testing for bugs aren't going to pick up some that only show up with millions in the wild. Blaming engineers or quality control is unfair. It is simple statistics

 

[Return Zero]

If you're running before/after, make sure both start with a cooled phone and no background tasks. If you crank geekbench right after the update right after the before test, that thing is going to be too preheated to make it fair.

 

[Aves]

That's seems to be fine tbh.

Yeah it’s a lot closer to what you posted earlier.

I rerun the test, right now it shows :

2881
7153

So maybe earlier there was something going on.

Fanboys will be fanboys… too blinded by their fanboyism to see Apple’s mistakes and failures.

That's just not a good take.

 

[decypher44]

Will this fix 14P overheating and battery life?

 

[wplynx]

Funny instagram has a update today too

 

[mdnz]

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

It could save others from overheating… but not itself

 

[krvld]

Did anyone notice Haptic feedback change? Feels more pronounced on my 13 mini.

 

[Zheez]

Didn't run a test before but here's one on 17.0.3. Looks fine and phone didn't even get warm during the test either. Never noticed any heat problems before the update to be fair.

Some third-party apps had also been overloading the A17 Pro chip, leading to problems with heat dissipation. Apps affecting performance included Instagram, Uber, and more, and in addition to releasing an update to address the iOS 17 issue, Apple has also been working with app developers to optimize apps causing problems.

How does any of this help people who are complaining that their phone gets 'hot' on phone calls or even taking pictures?
