iOS 17.0.3 Battery Drain & Overheating

I have had the iPhone 15 pro since launch day, and I haven’t experienced any overheating issues at all. Battery life has been fantastic also. Until updating to 17.0.3 a few days ago. Since then the battery life is terrible and the phone is constantly hot, even in airplane mode. I can’t use the phone for more than a few minutes without it getting too hot to use. Instead of fixing the issue, this update seems to have caused the issue it was supposed to fix? Is anybody else having this issue, and what do you recommend?

Sadly, this is the worst update I have experienced in years, by any company. Apple is well aware and as with most companies these days, they rushed out a low quality product, I am sure to meet some schedule. Apple, do better and fix this buggy trash please. We pay a lot of money for your products, do the right thing and honor that. Please do not reply to this with your lame “adjustment” or “setting” suggestions or try to explain yourself out of the corner. You messed up, own it, fix it.

I have had my iPhone 15 for about a month now and never had issues until last night. My battery would last 1 day or more without a charge (and I only had it charging to the 80%). My phone is now ridiculously overheating since last night when I was on FaceTime and now I have been playing Spotify in the background (no other apps running) and my phone is overheated and my battery went from 79% to now 22% in less than 2 hours. Insane. I would listen to Spotify in the background just as of last week and did not have these issues and I have the most up to date iOS. Anyone have any suggestions or updates?
