Apple has rolled out the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS, namely 17.0.3. For those with an iPhone 15 Pro, this update is essential. As previously mentioned, certain users have reported overheating issues with their iPhone 15 Pro, which Apple attributes to faulty app updates and a bug in iOS 17. The release notes for iOS 17.0.3 state that these issues have been addressed.
This latest version includes crucial bug repairs, security enhancements, and resolves a problem that could result in iPhone overheating.
If you own an iPhone 15 Pro, be sure to update your apps to avoid any potential issues. Notable popular apps such as Uber and Instagram have recently released updates, possibly related to the issue.
Even if you do not own the newest iPhone, it is still recommended to download this update. It addresses two security vulnerabilities, one of which has already been used to exploit earlier versions of iOS. The update was released in late July as iOS 16.6, and the fixes will also be included in the upcoming iOS 17.1, currently undergoing testing and expected to be released later this month.
