Top Stories: iPhone 15 Pro Overheating Fix, Apple Watch Double Tap, and More

Installed the 10.1 public Beta for ability to pause and restart my timer. It works perfectly for that. What it won't do is stop those irritating wrist vibrations once it times out, for instance when removing food from the oven.

Update .. On a more recent event I double tapped twice and it stopped the wrist vibrations. Now it does stop those vibrations after a single double tap. It appears that the watch is doing some AI learning and adjusting. Cool!

My 15 PM still gets hot. Doubt this is hardware, that would be very strange.

It gets hot doing basically nothing, just using an app for a few minutes, which my 11 pro does without any drama or even warming up.

Pretty strange.

Which app? Apple has been working recently with software developers to fix some of known Apps that contribute to overheating. You need to check if app involved has a recent update.

My 15 PM is still heating up on 17.0.3. Most notably in the Home app and Find My app but there are others. Top left corner.

I just got the overheating alert again… At 8:30 in the morning, only 47° outside, and cloudy/foggy, so no sun glare at all. The only thing running on my phone was navigation. Literally no reason at all I should be getting an overheating alert. See images attached.

I think 17.0.3 fixed the major problems on my IP15 PM. I still think it runs hot, however, I was riding for an hour in the sunlight with the sun shining on the phone the entire time, no problems at all, battery didn't drain significanly more than the old iPhone either.

I still think it sometimes gets hot, but it's more a feeling now, less obvious.

iOS Camera mostly.

Whenever I take a pic, camera got hot. Both with the iOS Camera app, and when using Whatsapp or Telegram to take a picture - so the offending code must be having to do with the new sensors and image processing. Which makes sense since that's one of the big differences to the iPhone 14 pro. More pixels are being processed, by a new processor, with new algorithms - chances are there's bugs in there.

I think they fixed some of that in 17.0.3 thogh - it still gets warm - which no iPhone I've had got warm from the camera - but it's more contained now.

In general misbehaving apps should not be able to cause battery issues. Especially if they're not causing them on older versions of iOS and older phones. If that happens Id consider it an OS bug.

I think most of these bugs are software and OS related. iOS 17 is really buggy on older phones too.
