Bet anything it's by slowing down the processor and lowering performance
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.
The overheating issues shouldn't have happened in the first place, but there is no high-end phone in existence (except maybe some gamer phones with active cooling) that is actually able to sustain high clock speeds without overheating. They all throttle at some point, this might really be just a bug that is fixable via software.
