On the other hand, not everyone is over the moon just yet. One user has said, “After downloading 17.0.3 today and spending the entire day with it, it is WORTH IT! I went form having a phone with a battery that I would literally watch the number in the battery going down by 1% every 2 minutes of use and the phone very hot to the touch to the phone’s battery staying SUPER strong and the phone being cool to the tough the entire time.” Another commented that their iPhone 15 Pro never suffered from overheating but that the update seems to have extended battery life “by about 1.6x.” This isn’t the final verdict, you understand, as the release is still unfolding but the initial indications are mostly very positive. You can test the beta versions by signing up at the Apple Beta Software Program, here. The next update, bar another emergency issue, will likely be iOS 17.1, which is already in its second beta, and brings new control capabilities for StandBy and enables the brilliant Double Tap feature coming to Apple Watches with watchOS 10.1. Very few are seeing more serious issues, so the need to protect against security encroachments outweighs these.Ĭheck back for the final verdict in a week’s time, especially if you’re cautious and want to wait, though I’d strongly recommend updating now. And multiple sources suggest there’s no loss of performance-which is key. Others are saying the overheating issue is sorted. This is my interim verdict, but there seem to be few complaints beyond suggestions that what was hot before is hot now. You can read Kate’s full details on the security aspects here. Again, it’s something that is already under attack, by spyware vendors, for instance. Second, there’s an issue with multiple browsers and beyond. Apple says it’s been addressed with improved checks. This flaw is already being used in the real world. Apple says an outsider could “elevate their privileges” if they can get hold of the iPhone. First, one that concerns the Kernel, which as Kate O’Flaherty says, is “at the heart of the iOS operating system”. Here’s the reason that updating seems like the very best idea: there are two security flaws that are addressed here. Similar tests done by Apple Insider have similarly shown no loss of performance after the update. Obviously, a hot phone reduces battery longevity, so the two are related. Other users have commented that the iPhone 15 Pro Max “only feels hot while charging,” and that “phone is not heating as before,” and several have said that the battery life is better. These seem to show that the performance is not diminished by the new software, though again it’s too early right now to know for sure. And How About Performance?Īpple has previously promised that fixing the heat issue will not come at the expense of performance and 9to5Mac has run benchmarks on the new software. It will take a day or two to know for sure if the fix has worked. Soon after the release, there were reports of overheating continuing, though this was during the updating process, where higher temperatures are not uncommon while the phone goes through indexing procedures, for instance.

Note that Apple does not specify iPhone 15 in this sentence and has separately said that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are better at heat dispersal thanks to the titanium/aluminum design. “This update provides important bug fixes, security updates, and addresses an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected.”
