Apple has put such an emphasis on increasing the performance of their mobile chips and honestly I just don’t know why at this point. I don’t need nor want to play Resident Evil 4 Remake on my phone. I much rather have more battery life. With that said I suspect this is probably a software issue and can probably be resolved with an update.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
On the hand, I agree. But on the other hand, I love the innovation here, because it could lead us to a day where your phone is your computer. Plug it into a keyboard and monitor and get to work.

Software easily would take all gains in hardware performance. I did not measure in seconds but I have a strong impression that an app (a ticket booking service, nothing which should require a powerful CPU) become considerably slower in the last couple years. So phones have to become faster and faster just to keep the same user experience in the face of increasing software bloat.

What does Windows really do now more than my Windows 95 PC? It connects to the network, browses files and can load a web browser. Why does it need to be so bloated just to sit there ready to load a web browser

Not just talking scaling to whatever, or running a phone app on my laptop, but a complete "reskin" of the application for environment that is currently executing it. If we're talking Word, i want the mobile word experience on my phone, but the full blown desktop experience when docked into a monitor with keyboard/mouse.
You could even take it one step further and make the dock indicate the intended purpose, i.e. you'd have a dock in a meeting room that suggests "presentation mode" or "meeting mode" and instead of blasting your desktop to the screen/projector, it instead shows as a second presentation desktop.
My battery life is considerably improved over my previous iphone.

One idea I’ve been playing around with quite a bit lately has been offloading computational data and even OS- obviously I’m not the first one on this, but I think at one point just turning our phones in to input/ receivers for some sort of cloud based OS- where basically all our phones have are an input module, battery, a strong receiver, and a storage for caching.
Then you could start making super light hardware- computers, tablets, phones all accessing on singular OS that just reformats depending on the device. And we wouldn’t need to upgrade our personal hardware anymore we could just upgrade the racks. Once everything is interconnected we wouldn’t even need cell plans either, we could just communicate through the existing cloud devices.
Anyway, that would be cool.

The market has already spoken.
It’s not thought to be a CPU/A17 issue and in fact their chip designers are probably a bit angry now to be drawn into poor light after all their hard work.
So with these reports, pay attention to if it’s about a Pro or not. They’re (thermally) completely different phones.
If true and complaints loud enough, I’m sure Apple will try to mitigate it with iOS updates, new throttling curves or whatever which will open its own can of worms (“here’s the inside scoop on why your 15 Pro got slow, be sure to click like!!”) OR more careful updates where the effect will be more limited and this will be a design generation lost to thermal issues.
