As the MacRumors article said:
So the 17.1 is in progress with a beta 2 Oct 3rd or 4th (6-7 days), but it's a "might also make" with 17.0.3 patch. So I am a bit pessimistic to how fast Apple will work the issue because of the below text. It might be more that all these impacted app vendors need to fix issues by updates then a 17.0.3 patch soon?

the fact 17.0.3 hasn't showed yet in the algoryhthyms makes me think we won't get it immeadietly like this week. I'm thinking early next week
I had the same thought. It may be that Apple just has to tell them (the responsible app developers) how to rework their code to eliminate the problem.
What are these "algorhthyms" you keep referring to? I'm not referring to your misspelling of "algorithm", but what are you referring to substantively? Server logs?
Yeah I guess so there has been no sign of them working on 17.0.3 yet. I don't think they will be able to fix it quickly enough to get it out this week
My speculation is that they are close to releasing a fix for the overheating. The fact that they acknowledged this on a Saturday leads me to believe they already know how to fix it. I don't think the acknowledgment would have been made public if they weren't close to a solution.
This statement from Apple addresses everything they are acting on:
If Apple was to do this correctly they need to be comprehensive several ways not just spit out a patch. Given that there was a initial 17.0.1/17.0.2 patch, then all non iPhones 15's went to 17.0.2 a few days later, I tend to doubt that Apple would want to just release a 17.0.3 quickly as it would be seen as fixing only a few things, then expecting maybe a 17.0.4 patch before 17.1 goes public. Yes this can look bad if not done right.
Maybe, I think Apple needed to acknowledge it quickly, to keep new customers happy that a fix was coming, and to also keep sales pushing, helping stop people freaking out about the Titanium frames… or that product would have been a sinking ship.
I agree about them needing to say something....we'll see in the next few days what they release (or not)
Be interesting to see if the fix is left in 17.1 and released end of Oct, or they push out a 0.3 build.
Hope we’ll get beta 2 today and 17.0.3 tomorrow
I’m thinking it will likely be the reverse. 17.1 b1 was released last Wednesday. I suspect they will stick with Wednesday releases.
We sure do. Not often, but there’s been plenty.
I have a feeling 17.0.3 and 17.1 b2 will drop today. The overheating is big news so they will want that fixed ASAP, and they’ll want it fixed in a dev beta before it goes to public beta.
the Beta will be tomorrow so it's probably going to be Thursday or next monday for 17.0.3. I've been saying for awhile they are probably taking their time with this update
Heat wave in California tomorrow, so I bet this will spur Tim to stay up late tonight working on a fix so that he can get it out by tomorrow. 🥵
