Apple Identifies Problems Causing iPhone 15 Getting too hot

Apple has said that the device may feel warmer in the first few days "after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity."

The upcoming iOS 17 bug fix will not reduce performance to address the iPhone's temperature

Washington: Apple announced on Saturday that it has uncovered a few vulnerabilities that may cause new iPhones to run hotter than planned, including a fault in the iOS 17 software that will be resolved in a future update.

After reports that the new phones are overheating, Apple has stated that the device may feel warmer in the first few days "after setting up or restoring the device due to increased background activity."

"Another issue includes certain recent modifications to third-party apps that are causing them to overwhelm the system," Apple explained, adding that the company is working with app developers on remedies that are being handed out.

According to the business, the third-party applications triggering the issue include the game Asphalt 9, Meta's Instagram, and Uber. Instagram addressed the problem with its app on September 27.

The impending iOS 17 bug update will not impact performance to address the iPhone's temperature.

The Cupertino, California-based business stated that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max do not overheat owing to the design, rather the new titanium shells result in superior heat dissipation compared to previous stainless steel versions.

Apple also stated that the issue poses no safety or harm risk and would have no long-term impact on the phone's performance.
