Apple Releases iOS 17.0.3 To Fix iPhone 15 Pro Overheating Issues
With iOS 17.0.3, a new update is now available, which is primarily intended to prevent the new iPhone 15 Pro (Max) from overheating. In addition, Apple speaks of important bug fixes and security updates that also apply to older iPhone models.
iPhone 15 Pro Cools Down via software update
The interaction of iOS 17, the new Apple A17 Pro chip, and various third-party apps have caused considerable heat problems since the iPhone 15 Pro (Max) was launched, including the temporary emergency shutdown of the devices. Now the error should be fixed with a software update to iOS 17.0.3.
In the comparatively brief patch notes, Apple speaks of important bug fixes and security updates as well as the solution to an unspecified problem “that causes the iPhone to overheat.”
Initially, well-known Apple analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo, among others, assumed that the overheating of the iPhone 15 Pro (Max) was caused by “compromises in thermal design” and that Apple’s developers would only be able to reduce the processor performance Effectively solve heat problem.
Apple itself then stated that the combination of titanium housing and aluminum interior would offer significantly better thermal performance compared to previous iPhone models and that they have no plans to throttle the performance of the A17 Pro chip. However, it is still unknown which adjustment screws iOS 17.0.3 will turn.
