If you are one of the few who experienced heating issues with the newly launched iPhone 15 Pro series, be sure to install this update, as it will reportedly resolve the problem, according to Apple.
Apple has issued a new software patch for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max to address the device’s heating issue. iOS 17.0.3 is currently being rolled out to eligible iPhones.
In addition to resolving the heating problem, the update also addresses other bugs and enhances iPhone security. According to the official changelog, iOS 17.0.3 will tackle the issue that caused iPhones to run warmer than expected.
For users who are already on iOS 17.0.2, the iOS 17.0.3 update is approximately 420 MB in size. If you are one of the few who experienced heating issues with the newly launched iPhone 15 Pro series, be sure to install this update, as it will reportedly resolve the problem, according to Apple.
Apple released the iPhone 15 series back in September, with the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (review) featuring the cutting-edge A17 Pro chip and a new titanium body. After these phones went on sale, several users began to complain about excessive heating issues even with normal usage.
Various reports have suggested that the new heating issue may be due to the use of titanium, which is a poor conductor of heat compared to steel and aluminium. Similarly, some have also suggested that the new A17 Pro chip could be behind the excessive heating, as this issue was not observed in the baseline iPhone 15 series.
Apple then issued a press statement, attributing the problem to a software bug and unoptimized apps, and confirmed its intention to release an update to address the issue. The brand has now delivered on that promise.
