Or it could just be better thermal management, i.e. slower ramp up.

It could also be as simple as a bug causing the CPU to waste additional cycles in a specific set of circumstances, which would also partially explain the reports of excessive battery usage.

Considering that the iPhone 15 Pro is basically just "last years phone" in new clothes and with a bigger battery, i find it hard to believe that it would suddenly go from no overheating issues to massive issues.

New titanium casing could be an issue.
