Apple to Address iPhone 15 Pro Overheating Issue With iOS 17 Update

For a lot, it was normal. The issues are only affecting a subset of users.
People overheated more than the phone itself.
Learn what? To write instagram’s app for Meta so that it isn’t an inefficient resource hogging mess?
At this point, I’m convinced that major 3rd party devs should be given early access to new hardware so the software can be optimized.
My fear as well. Except that the article specifically said that the update would not affect the performance of the A17.
With all of these testing sites, wouldn’t throttling be easily identified by an independent third party?
Well, mine gets very hot, not warm, hot, when making phone calls and the battery drains like crazy, so for me, yes it is a “real problem”.
read the article, apple specifically mention the fix will NOT include throttling.
Definitely not normal, “We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and will be addressed in a software update.”
It also goes to show how crappy the instagram app must be if it breaks after every new iPhone release but other apps are fine.
The fix is “nerfing“ the CPU by 20% and GPU by 50%. No more overheating guys and girls.
Sticking to my 14PM
Battery is great for me - today it dropped to 99% after 1 year.
Hoping to see more substantial changes next year to justify the upgrade - for what I am using the phone.

Ah yes, it‘s so easy for Meta to go the Apple Store and buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max with a 2 month waiting list.
Maybe Apple should have tested the iPhone 15 Pro Max themselves with the most popular apps used by people and informed Meta that their latest iPhone isn‘t working with Meta.
I did my normal morning walk a few days ago. It is 3.2 miles. On that walk I use the Runkeeper app to track my miles while listening to a downloaded Podcast. My 15 Pro was in my back pocket and was hot to the touch at the end of my walk. Also the battery had dropped 30% in that hour on my walk.
So this morning I did the exact same thing, same walk, same apps used. The phone was warm but only dropped 4% battery. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️

Yeah, but I would guess that those apps are also not doing something that should obviously draw a lot of power (and apparently previously didn’t), so I suspect Apple might carry some blame there as well.
Yep. Looks like many of the people responding here didn't read the article. Apple specifically pointed out the Instagram app as one of the culprits. So that YouTuber was right. But Apple also said that Instagram released a fix on Wednesday.
And, yeah I might start eliminating Meta apps as well. I just got a notification from my phone warning me that the Facebook app had full access to my photo album for the past six months or whatever. Who knows if they were actually doing anything with that access. Wouldn't put it past them
I'm just curious, but do you use wireless charging often? I wonder if all of the heat generated by wireless charging is what's decimating people's batteries.
this sounds like a bit of a cop out by apple.
The iPhone has to have been tested or one would hope that it has. Its not like Apple wouldn't be releasing the phone independent to the development of IOS17
The second consideration is that apps running inside of IOS are all sandboxed. So the OS itself doesn't allow the applications to directly communicate and connect to the hardware inside the iPhone. this is why everything is so much slower and less functional compared to an Apple silicon mac. Apple controls the x-code and swift programming interface inside of IOS and releases this to the developers. it's not like the developers of any app can just write anything. So to blame third party apps for doing something that the xcode allowed them to do points the finger back at apple for not developing the IOS or the way it interacts with their own designed chip.
So like clockwork, Apple released a half baked, not properly tested IOS with new hardware support that wasnt ready for release like they have every year that I can remember. Wasn't there the same issue in 16, 15, 14 ... it's like its an apple right of passage to the bleading edge adopters to get a phone that doesn't work properly.

Since not everyone experiences the issue, it’s clearly not hardware.
Yeah because a profit base company never lied before let’s wait for the YouTube videos and we’ll know if its throttled or not
