  Did you read the article?

  Having read this article and The Verge’s article, it’s clear that they won’t be making changes to the processor clock speed. The iOS 17 bug is likely related to background processes and specific apps that initiate them but don’t let them go. As someone who doesn’t use any of the apps in question, I can say that my phone doesn’t get hot in the ways mentioned. A friend of mine is a heavy Instagram user, and his 15 is hot all the time.

    But that means the heat comes from high load, meaning that stressing the CPU even after the update will cause the device to get very hot.

      The overheating issues shouldn’t have happened in the first place, but there is no high-end phone in existence (except maybe some gamer phones with active cooling) that is actually able to sustain high clock speeds without overheating. They all throttle and some point, this might really be just a bug that is fixable via software.

      All CPUs throttle at certain temperatures. The question is, at what temperature should the iPhone throttle? And why are some apps behaving in a way that doesn’t end strenuous loads when the phone heats up?

    I know what they said. It’s not like the have a history of throttling devices due to poor software.

    The Verge is 100% bought and paid for by Apple. They have been for over half a decade.

      Even if that were the case, there are plenty of people that have shown that simply opening Instagram on your phone immediately raises the temperatures for iOS 17 devices, and that, allowing it to remain open in the background raises the temperature to the level described in recent articles. You may think that the verge favorably reports on Apple, fairly or unfairly, but the evidence is out there, and in this case, it seems to be the truth.

    „related to background processes and specific apps“ I notice that a lot on my iPad, too. With Safari for example

  Nah,they’re just going to activate the cooling pumps sooner.

  If so, best believe it will be on full display in benchmarks and reported everywhere immediately.
