Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

Screen dimming is done to reduce heat production.

The real solution is for more places to stop relying on scanning QR codes off of screens, and implement Apple Wallet/NFC support in their apps and POS terminals.

The app used for train tickets in my country will maximize brightness when you click to show the QR. So it’s not apples fault. The developers of these apps can fix it

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.

So don't update, like me. Still on 16.7 and 14 PM is fine.

This is mostly for iPhone 15 Pro users. If your phone isn't overheating it's not gonna do much anyway - which is good!

I‘d try a run of at least three rounds of geekbench each to see what happens when the cpu reaches higher temps, if they changed the curve to throttle down. One run may not trigger it at all.

So, again:

Before (17.0.2):

View attachment 2288571After (17.0.3):

View attachment 2288575

That's within the acceptable range (every bench is different on 17.0.2 as well). So they not underclocked the CPU.

They would not need to underclock the CPU. They might need to throttle more aggressively as the temp raises. GB benchmark is too short, it never creates thermal issues thus comparing GB results is not indicative at all.

Am I the only one who’s been getting these overheating instances on an 11 pro max? It all started with iOS 17. Especially when booting the devices gets really warm for a few minutes. The battery got replaced about 1 year ago.

On older devices I have noticed that battery life is decreased compared to iOS 16.

But then again we are comparing a mature version of a year-old OS to a new one that just came out and is unoptimized. If we still have these issues in say, 17.4 or 17.5 then it's cause for concern.

Uhhh, this introduced heat. My phone is still warm after the update. WTF? I never experienced excess heat prior to this. I hope this update didn't break something.

So I guess it comes down to whether or not we think all these updates and bugs are worth it. Because looking back to iOS 6, the first update didn't come out for two calendar months. Then it took three whole months for the next three to drop. There was also a total of just ten updates during the course of its lifespan. Compare that to iOS 16, where you get the first three updates in less than a month, and twenty updates overall. It's just insane. We're bathing in updates. It's almost never-ending.

Is it worth it? I don't know. I had a 4s. It didn't do what my newer phone does, sure. But I can't say I'm doing much more on it personally than I was before. So I'm not sure the benefits outweigh the hassle for me.

It’s just letting the users and analytics of usage and logs take care of the quality control. We’re just de facto beta testers of all the x.x.x versions that should never have been released. Much cheaper for Apple. Better for shareholders.

And apple is not the only ones doing it. They all do it.

It means Apple’s excuse is full of ****, at least partially filled with it. If an iOS update is going to fix anything then it is global, regardless if any app has done something wrong. If the new iOS 17 demands some changes that an older version of the app not updating to a new API or something, we would have seen the issue much more wide spread, or that Apple will say it.

ALL software releases have bugs from EVERY company. It was fixed quickly and if it harmed any phones Apple would replace them immediately. Overreaction much?

I don't remember a bug in my Apple IIe. It just worked. It made sure that I was bug-free when I died of dysentery.

BL.

LOL people saying it's unusually warm after this update. Every iOS update on every iPhone I have ever owned has resulted in a pretty warm phone (well maybe not the rapid security ones of course). Confirmation bias, perhaps?

Is there really nobody else on here that's had indexing issues with the 15 Pro/iOS 17? There's a reddit sub with a handful of users that are having issues with their phone not indexing. Doesn't look like anybody is talking about it on here...
