Apple fixes iPhone 15 Pro, Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issue with new iOS 17 update

Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max have been facing heavy scrutiny since the launch due the overheating issue. Apple was quick to acknowledge the problem in the new flagship devices and to fix the overheating issue, the company has now rolled out a new iOS 17 update. The iOS 17.0.3 update “addresses an issue that may cause the iPhone to run warmer than expected.”

It is worth noting that not all iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max users have experienced overheating, and it’s unclear how many users have been impacted by the issue. Apple has identified a few conditions which can cause new iPhones to run warmer than expected, including a bug in the iOS 17 software update and some third-party apps like Instagram.

According to reports, iOS 17.0.3 also comes with two important security fixes, including a fix for a breach that had been actively exploited. An attacker with access to the device could elevate their privileges to run malicious code. “The issue was addressed with improved checks,” Apple said in the security update.

The security update also fixes a WebRTC exploit where attackers could use a buffer overflow to execute code arbitrarily. iOS 17.0.3 and iPadOS 17.0.3 are now available for iPhone and iPad model compatible with iOS 17 and iPadOS 17. (with inputs from IANS)
