Apple acknowledged a software glitch in iOS 17 that caused the iPhone 15 Pro to overheat and released the iOS 17.0.3 update to fix the issue. While some users have reported a decrease in overheating after the update, others still experience excessive heat compared to previous iPhone models. The cause of the overheating problem and the specific changes made in the update remain unclear.
Reports have emerged of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max continuing to overheat even after updating to iOS 17.0.3, with users experiencing issues during phone calls, gaming, pocket storage, music playback, and camera usage. Some users have also reported screen burn-in problems. While Apple claims that the new models have improved heat dissipation and that third-party apps may be causing the overheating, these reports suggest potential quality control issues. However, there are also users who have reported that the update resolved their overheating problems. Apple advises affected users to contact Apple Support for assistance and recommends limiting fast-charging to protect long-term battery health.
Apple's iOS 17.0.3 update not only addressed overheating issues on the iPhone 15 but also resolved a lesser-known problem with the front-facing camera. The issue, which disabled certain camera features after a repair, was attributed to Apple's policy of serialization, where specific parts are paired with the logic board and cannot be replaced without losing functionality. However, a repair specialist discovered that the disabled camera features returned after updating the device to iOS 17.0.3, suggesting that Apple may be rolling back on parts pairing. This comes amidst recent backlash against serialization in Apple products and the company's endorsement of California's right to repair bill.
