Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 With Fix for iPhone 15 Pro Overheating

Yeah but it didn't persist after it was done updating in the past. My phone is now staying warm after the fact. I did another restart just to be sure. It is absolutely getting warm just idling.
I didn't feel this heat when I 1st setup my phone. Why would this small update cause so much indexing as to introduce more heat than before?
GB6 results here, in case anyone cares (as someone stated, extended load tests would be much more interesting but I don't have time for that).
17.0.2: 2925/7296/27334
17.0.3: 2962/7459/27341
A little higher after, likely due to the restart clearing some additional background stuff?

Just tried it. The highest multicore score I ever had since the purchase.
Interesting. Did you have heat issues before the update? I never had heat issues on my 15 Pro, so I have no idea what everyone is talking about.
You don't have to install every update. And with more people using smartphones today than 10 years ago, people are going to find issues more quickly. Consider the alternative: issues like this might have gone unfixed a decade ago.
No, Prior to this I was also like you wondering what they were talking about. This update seemed to do the opposite. The A/C in my work is pretty cold right now. ANd my phone is literally able to warm my hands a bit. It seems to have calmed down a tiny bit. I can definitely feel it's still a tiny bit warmer than it should be.
Well. It’s a hot fix. What did you expect? 😂😂😂
Mine was bout same heat as after setup and installing and the indexing for that from experience went on for several days although the heat went away sooner. Never too hot to hold but while I was installing and connected to USB-C it did stop charging due to the heat during the setup install indexing.
You don't have to do anything. Let your iPhone charge overnight, and at some point it will silently install the update without you having to think about it or do anything. Or you can just ignore the update. You have more control here than you think.
Yep the same for me but heat gone now the system was doing some indexing after the install.
I love how some people saw ONE screenshot score went down from one person test, to assume Apple is under fire. Come on guys.
First days 🔥 now ❄️
Coming at the wrong time. It’s getting cold in Germany now.
Just kidding. Phone was fine, I hope the update fixes the issues for everyone that have experienced some of them.

My 13 Pro has been running much cooler the past 24 hours or so since I installed the latest 17.1 Dev Beta. Battery life wise it's too early to say. So your suggestion may not be far off.
This also implies that at some magical point in the past, software was released perfect and without bugs or need of updates. That has never happened, even when software was a lot simpler than it is today. And nowadays, all you have to do is wait for a simple fix. Unlike the old days where you'd physically have to get new medium, and often do a complete reinstall, as there weren't Internet updates pushed back then. The very things people here are complaining about. Even as recently as the Win95 days, if there was an issue with your install? Too bad, you'll have to either get a new computer (which had a fixed OEM release), or buy a new floppy/CD and install the latest version.
I see this a lot with people complaining about "day one updates" for video games. As if NES games were released perfect and bug-free. They weren't. Some of the most beloved NES games can be speed run because people take advantage of bugs and glitches.
Well, my iPhone 15 Pro got unbelievably hot doing this update! Like the hottest it's ever got.
