Fall bugs affect Apple iPhone: one causes overheating, and another can cause a drained battery

Apple released the iOS 17.0.3 update to correct a bug causing iPhones, especially the iPhone 15 Pro, to overheat. 

A second update, iOS 17.1 beta 3 corrects a bug that drained iPhone battery life due to increased power consumption when the device was paired with an Apple Watch running watchOS 10.1.

Apple did not disclose the power consumption bug until after after the release of iOS 17.1 beta 3.
