Apple released the iOS 17.0.3 update the other day, which aims to alleviate the overheating problems experienced by users on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple said that the update would not cause any negative effects on the performance of the A17 Pro. It appears that the iOS 17.0.3 update does not cause any performance loss.It is stated that third-party applications such as Instagram, Uber and Asphalt 9: Legends are responsible for the overheating problems experienced on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Instagram has released an update that seems to solve this problem, but no statement has been made about other applications yet. Since the problem is apparently caused by apps, it wouldn’t make sense for Apple to do something like throttling the A17 Pro’s performance, and testing bears this out.

In tests conducted on Geekbench 6, it was determined that the iPhone 15 Pro Max did not experience any performance loss after the update. iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.0.2 scored 2914 and 7199 in the synthetic test in single and multi-core respectively. In the test performed a few hours after the iOS 17.0.3 update (the device was waited to cool down after the update), the results were 2941 and 7523 points, respectively.
It is recommended to install the update
We still don’t know exactly what Apple did to solve overheating problems, but for now, it is stated that the overheating problem has been solved with the iOS 17.0.3 update.
Apple also said that some apps, such as Instagram and Uber, can cause the iPhone to overheat and that it is working with developers to address the situation. However, this does not eliminate the fact that many users who do not have these applications installed are experiencing overheating problems with the iPhone 15 Pro. Therefore, time will tell us whether the problem is solved after the update. The best thing you can do right now should be to update both iOS and the apps installed on your iPhone 15 Pro.
