Apple has released a patch, iOS 17.0.3, to address the overheating issues reported by iPhone 15 Pro users. This software update includes security updates and bug fixes, specifically targeting the issue that causes the iPhone to run hot. The release of this patch comes in response to complaints shared online by users who experienced overheating or discomfort while holding their new iPhones.
According to Apple, the overheating complaints were caused by a software bug in iOS 17, rather than a flaw in the physical design of the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple also mentioned that recent updates to third-party apps like Instagram and Uber may have contributed to the overheating issues.
To download the update, users can navigate to Settings > General > Software Update on their iPhones. They can then tap on “Install Now” and follow the onscreen prompts. Additionally, there are some simple steps users can take to cool down their phones.
It is worth noting that Apple released iOS 17.1 beta 2 shortly after the patch was made available.
