Apple released the iOS 17.0.3 update today, writing in the official update log: “This update provides important bug fixes and security updates, and resolves an issue that may cause the iPhone to run slower than expected. The problem of higher temperatures.”
Apple officials have previously stated that the cause of overheating of iPhone 15 Pro models is not hardware or design defects, but software and subsequent updates will not reduce the performance of the A17 Pro chip.
With this question in mind, foreign media 9to5Mac conducted a comparative test on the iPhone 15 Pro Max model before and after the iOS 17.0.3 update.
The table here as follows:
From the running score results, after upgrading to the iOS 17.0.3 update, the GeekBench running scores are even better, but it is only a preliminary indication that this update will not affect the performance of the iPhone 15 Pro model.
The media also made it clear that this was just a single-point test, and that continued battery life performance needs to be further tested by running intensive processing tasks. The media found that the changes in performance were similar to before in the preliminary test, but the details require further in-depth testing.
