Apple releases a software update addressing iPhone 15 overheating issues

Apple acknowledges iPhone 15 overheating issues due to a bug in iOS 17 and recent third-party app updates. A software update is on the way to fix these issues.

As reported by 9to5Mac, since the debut of iPhone 15 on September 22, numerous users have reported overheating during standard operations such as charging, browsing social media, and gaming.

Apple has officially acknowledged the overheating issues, attributing them to a glitch in iOS 17. A software update was released to resolve this issue. Apple reassures its users that this update will not compromise the device’s performance while rectifying the overheating problem and emphasises that there is no safety concern nor impact on the phone’s long-term functionality. Preliminary tests confirm that the performance remains unaltered.

Third-party apps contributing to system overload

Alongside, Apple points out that recent updates to specific third-party applications have been overloading the system. Notable mentions include Instagram, Asphalt 9, and Uber. The tech giant is collaborating with these app developers to rectify the problems.

Titanium design not at fault

In the previous week, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo speculated that the titanium frame of the iPhone 15 Pro might be reducing the device’s thermal efficiency. Contrary to this, Apple clarifies that the titanium design enhances heat dissipation compared to previous models.

Here’s a snippet from Apple’s official statement regarding the matter:

“We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity.

We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and will be addressed in a software update. Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system. We’re working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out.”
