Since the release of iPhone 15 Pro, there has been a heating problem, especially when playing mobile games, the problem of mobile phone heating is more serious. According to CNN, Apple has officially admitted that its iPhone 15/Pro series mobile phones have overheating problems. Apple claims that signs of overheating in the mobile phones "will not cause safety risks" and "will not affect the long-term performance of the iPhone."

However, after some foreign media tested mobile phones: the iPhone 15 Pro series will have problems with heating or even overheating, whether in daily use or playing games. It can reach about 40 degrees Celsius in daily use. Sometimes after gaming, the body temperature can reach about 48-49 degrees. It’s scary to think about it. However, Apple recently rolled out an update to iOS 17.0.3, which is said to resolve the issue. In order to verify this statement, I decided to use the iPhone 15 Pro I just bought to test whether Apple has solved this problem.

iOS17.0.3 version is of great significance for solving the heating problem of iPhone15Pro. Through this test, we will be able to understand whether the update effectively solves the heating problem in mobile games such as Honor of Kings. This will provide users with a better gaming experience. First, we will use an infrared thermal imager to test the temperature of iPhone15Pro when running the Honor of Kings game. We will record temperature data for different time periods, and we will also test other common mobile games. So, "Pesticide", start!
Test environment: 24 degrees Celsius indoors, mobile phone turned on to about 70% brightness, game playing in WiFi environment
Test version: iOS17.0.3
When I started playing a game, the phone didn't feel noticeably warm for the first few minutes. I can feel that the phone generates some heat while running games normally, but the overall temperature is still within an acceptable range. However, as the game progressed, after about five to six minutes, I started to feel the phone heating up significantly. The back and bezel of the phone started to gradually heat up, and I could feel the phone getting hotter in my hand. This temperature feeling gradually increases, but it is not to the point of feeling uncomfortable.
Although I did not use an infrared thermal imaging camera to accurately measure the temperature of the phone while playing the game, I could clearly feel the temperature rise of the phone. I still wonder if the phone will overheat and shut down automatically after a while?
After playing King of Kings for an hour, we used a professional infrared thermal imaging camera to test: the average temperature of the back panel of the phone was around 38.7 degrees, and the highest temperature was 43 degrees. Overall, it was not too hot. After playing for half an hour, the temperature of the phone still remained at around 42-44 degrees. But the battery of the mobile phone also dropped from 43% to 19%.
We are pleased to find that iOS 17.0.3 version has significantly improved the heating problem of iPhone 15 Pro. The update successfully solved the problem of serious phone heating when playing mobile games such as Genshin Impact, providing users with a better experience. According to the testing of mobile phones by foreign media users: the daily use temperature of iPhone15Pro before the update was as high as 107.1 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius). After the update, the temperature of the phone dropped sharply to 93.8 degrees Fahrenheit (33.8 degrees Celsius). It can be seen that this upgrade and repair was very successful.

The success of this update is the result of Apple’s efforts in technology research and development and user feedback. They continuously improve and optimize their products to ensure that users can enjoy more efficient and stable performance. Although I was a little confused at the beginning about Apple selling the phone before it had solved the optimization problem, I still feel very relieved that the current problem has been solved after the new version update.
For users of the iPhone 15 Pro series: this update brings good news. Everyone can use their mobile phones without worrying about it: they don’t have to think about how to control the temperature all the time, and they no longer have to worry about overheating. Enjoy the fun of "original" and "agricultural". As an Apple user, I still hope that they can maintain an excellent customer experience. After all, if you spend 10,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone, the user should get the best experience.
