Apple has identified several issues causing the new iPhone 15 series to run warmer than expected, with one being a bug in the iOS 17 software.
According to Apple, the warmth issue may be more noticeable in the first few days after setting up or restoring the device due to increased background activity. Recent updates to certain third-party apps, including Asphalt 9, Instagram, and Uber, have been identified as culprits causing the overheating problem.
Apple’s collaboration with app developers
Apple is actively collaborating with app developers to roll out fixes for the overheating issue caused by third-party apps. An upcoming iOS 17 update will address the software bug responsible for the overheating, without compromising device performance.
Apple assures users that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are not prone to overheating due to design enhancements, including improved heat dissipation with titanium shells. The company emphasises that the overheating problem poses no safety or long-term performance risks to the affected iPhones.
