Did you read the article?

Having read this article and The Verge’s article, it’s clear that they won’t be making changes to the processor clock speed. The iOS 17 bug is likely related to background processes and specific apps that initiate them but don’t let them go. As someone who doesn’t use any of the apps in question, I can say that my phone doesn’t get hot in the ways mentioned. A friend of mine is a heavy Instagram user, and his 15 is hot all the time.

But that means the heat comes from high load, meaning that stressing the CPU even after the update will cause the device to get very hot.

All CPUs throttle at certain temperatures. The question is, at what temperature should the iPhone throttle? And why are some apps behaving in a way that doesn’t end strenuous loads when the phone heats up?

Instagram isn’t an inherently processor intensive app, so it’s not like the strain is coming a result of expected or normal use.

I know what they said. It's not like they have a history of throttling devices due to poor software.

„related to background processes and specific apps“ I notice that a lot on my iPad, too. With Safari for example
