The previous iOS 17.0.3 update addressed heating issues specific to the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models, with Apple stating that it provides essential bug fixes, security updates, and resolves an issue that caused the iPhone to run hotter than expected. Apple’s official statement on the matter explained that the iPhone may feel warmer during the first few days after initial setup or restoring the device due to increased background activity. Additionally, a software update will address an issue affecting some iOS 17 users. There’s another issue related to certain app updates that overload the system, and Apple is working with app developers to address this matter. It’s important to note that the heating issue is not related to the titanium body.
