iPhone 15 Pro overheating after iOS update to 17.3

Hello,


Anybody who's experiencing as well these issues I'm encountering after updating my Iphone 15 pro IOS version to 17.3?


  • My Iphone becomes hot
  • Battery drains so fast
  • camera flash and flash lights are disable due to phone temperature


I already turned off "Background App Refresh" and on "Low power mode" but still I have these issues. Before my phone works normal, this only happened after I update IOS version to 17.3


Other recommendations to address this issue?


Thanks,

📱Facing iPhone heating issues? Here's what worked for me on my iPhone 12 Pro:

1️⃣ Backup on iCloud/iTunes

2️⃣ Log out of Apple ID

3️⃣ Erase (Keep eSIM Data)


❌ DO NOT restore from backups! Set up as new iPhone. Wait 2-3 days - no issue! That Indicates...

✅ No hardware/ iOS issue


Now...

📦 Restore data gradually

🔍 Find app/settings causing heat



My experience says this is purely caused by some third-party app that you may have installed.


I am not aware of the ambient temperature in which you are using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...


Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.


Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.

This 17.3 update caused my iphone 13 to be completely unusable! Battery hot, no reaction, not even able to reboot. Had to wait until battery was empty. The iphone is still slow and does not behave like before the update. Apple, why do you deliver such extraordinary bad quality? I‘m p….d off with Apple quality and how you as a company communicate and treat your customers.

I have an iPhone 13 and I'm not sure if it's post the latest update, but the problems I am having are rendering my iPhone as almost useless.

I am having issues with phone calls connecting/reception issues, sms/iMessages not sending sending, and wifi connectivity, to name a few.


It is literally draining my phone credit as I have had to resort to using data roaming, even when at home where I have 300mbs fibre broadband.


My iPhone also overheats quickly and I'm having to charge my iPhone at least twice a day.


I have just tried to send a 3 minute video on WhatsApp and it has taken almost one hour to download about 10%.


Apple, this is not acceptable.

I am having so many issues since the iPhone 17 update. Silly things like :

even if I’ve closed down all my apps (which I do) when I tap on contacts or messages, it’s it shows me the lady message or person that I looked at. There are so many other little annoying things going on snd just want things back the way they were working before Apple decided to change everything.

My wife has an iPhone SE 2nd gen and her phone was purposely set to not auto update and had not even been updated to iOS 17. Then a few days ago her phone updated over night to the latest iOS. Now her iCloud is greyed out and she lost all her iCloud in for like photos contacts ect. And her battery has a severe degradation warning. Apple literally just got sued for this and it appears they’re doing it again. How on earth can we not even access iCloud

I doubt it. Not a word from Apple so far, despite what appears to be the most problem-plagued IOS update ever. My phone has been completely unusable since the update. I put it in a drawer & had to buy another phone, despite only having bought my wrecked one only few months ago.


Seems like Apple just hopes we'll all just go away.
