On Saturday, Apple acknowledged that some new iPhone 15s are overheating.
Today, just four days later, the company rushed out a fix.
iOS 17.0.3 is now available for download with a bug fix that prevents iPhones from running “warmer than expected,” as the company put it. The update also fixes other bugs and addresses security vulnerabilities.
It might be a good idea to install it.

One more thing ...
[Steve Jobs’ dad found marijuana in his son’s car.] ‘What’s this?’ he asked. That’s marijuana. That was the only real fight I ever got in with my dad. He wanted me to promise that I’d never use pot again, but I wouldn’t promise.
