This update is hot!
A nitpick indeed, but still annoying when patch notes in Software Update on the phone detail a fix for something that is not an issue on my phone. Give me details for why I have to patch my phone, whether it be security update, performance optimizations, or whatever. iPhone 15 Pro overheating fix, okay, but why do you have to tell me that when I go to update my iPhone 12 Pro?
If it was a software issue which is sounds like it was, the problem likely was present in all phones, but the iPhone 15 pro is just runs the hottest.
Probably causing battery life issues for everyone that were harder to perceive.
According to iPhonedo (Youtuber) the issue was with Instagram, and their most recent update fixed it. He has several good videos showing the exact problem and solution. For him, the iOS update didn’t fix it, but the IG update did.
It would be great if what Apple says is true. My iPhone 13 often has overheating problems, and I often use Tuneskit iOS System Recovery to solve it. If the iPhone 15 pro didn’t have overheating issues, I would probably buy it to replace the iPhone 13.
