As you may remember, especially if you are one of the lucky owners of an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, a few days ago we reported on a problem out of a variety of circumstances that caused these new generation Apple smartphone models They will reach high temperatures outside without the user performing particularly demanding tasks, which was admittedly worrisome.

Apple was quick to respondconfirms receipt, informs about the reasons for this problem and announces that it will soon provide part of the solution through an update of the operating system, an update that we just learned yesterday is iOS 17.0.3 and which Apple has already implemented They have implemented it, they have tested it, to make sure it was somehow holding back the background processes that were, as they reported a few days ago, one of the reasons for the problem.

Now we can confirm that the response was really fast because, as we can read on ZDNet, iOS 17.0.3 is now available and it really solves iPhone 15 Pro heat issues and very importantly, it did so without software that would reduce the performance of the smartphone, a concern that has been gaining ground in recent days, but which the aforementioned publication dismissed in its tests.

On the left, the minimum, average and maximum temperatures (in Fahrenheit) of the iPhone 15 Pro before updating to iOS 17.0.3. On the right, the same measurements on an already updated device. Images: ZDNet.

To verify this, the media measured the temperature of the iPhone 15 Pro before and after updating to iOS 17.0.3 and, as you can see in the image above, the difference is quite evident. The temperatures in it are expressed on the Fahrenheit scale, so below you will find their equivalents on the Celsius scale:

As you can see, the drop is more than evident, especially if we look at the maximum temperature before (left image) and after (right) the update installation, Well, we’re talking about a drop of 7.4 degrees Celsius. What’s more, even in the coolest area of ​​both images, which is a few centimeters away from the iPhone 15 Pro in both cases, we can see that the amount of heat being dissipated has dropped by just over two degrees.

We therefore give a Approved with a note to Apple for the speed and efficiency with which it responded to the role it played in this iPhone 15 Pro thermal issue. Now, of course, services whose apps also have a negative impact on this aspect are releasing corresponding updates to further improve the usability and efficiency of Apple’s new flagship product.

And if you want to know more about one of the most anticipated and requested devices of the year, our colleague Javier tested the new iPhone 15 Pro very thoroughly, in a very complete review that you will find here, which will undoubtedly satisfy all your doubts. The only problem, of course, is that after reading it, you can’t resist the urge to run to the nearest Apple Store. And as you can see, it is an option that values ​​perfection.
