Overheating after 17.3.0 update

I have iPhone 14 pro and user since last 7 months. Haven’t experienced overheating since the installation. I use wireless charger without cover since beginning and had completely no issue with overheating since last 6 months unless I updated to 17.3.0. My battery health dropped to 99% from 100%. Since the update, battery drains quickly, need repetitive charging, and even overheating with regular wired charger (All authentic apple products). Using shortcut notification alarm to avoid charging more than 80%. I have my background data refresh off, iCloud disabled and authentic chargers. I’m not satisfied with this experience. Please give tips to resolve this. Is the new update 17.3.1 useful? Or should I skip this update as well?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

📱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.
