I really thought they had to throttle the new SOC. Now if it’s identified software problems. Will other iPhones receive the „cooling“ patch too? What exactly was the culprit?

It might be related to how these apps cause the OS to boost the CPU cores or schedule those background tasks on the more powerful (and higher power) cores instead of the efficiency cores. I've seen the opposite issue on Linux and Windows with newer CPUs not boosting high enough.

Apple's own apps might have had the same issue, which would explain why the update was hundreds of megabytes instead of just the kilobytes or megabytes need for a core os update.

Then again, I haven't worked on os stuff in a long long time, so I'm pretty much just making it all up.

iPhone 11 here. Got the patch.

It’s an os bug, not a hardware issue. Actually it’s a nothing burger, so let’s move on.

So the software was fine on the previous phone. But now all of a sudden instagram is a chip cooker? Highly unlikely. Smells like spin to me.
