Does the iPhone 15 have an overheating problem? If so, how can this problem be solved? While the answer to the question was wondered, a statement regarding the problem came from Apple.
THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED WITH AN UPDATE
Apple plans to release an iOS 17 update to fix a bug that may be contributing to the reported iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issue, according to a statement the company shared with MacRumors and Forbes reporter David Phelan.
Apple also said that some recent updates to third-party apps were overloading the system and contributing to the overheating issue, MacRumors reported.
The report noted that some of these apps include Instagram, Uber, and the racing game Asphalt 9: Legends, and that Apple is working with the developers of these apps to resolve the issue.
The report added that Instagram has already rolled out a fix as part of the app update released.
On the other hand, Apple said that iPhone 15 Pro models may run hotter than expected during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device due to increased background activity. However, it is stated that this is a standard and temporary situation for new iPhones.
The bug is expected to be fixed with iOS 17.1, which is currently in beta and is expected to be released at the end of October.
However, it is also quite possible that Apple will roll out the bug fix sooner with a smaller software update such as iOS 17.0.3.
THE PERFORMANCE OF A17 PRO WILL NOT BE REDUCED
According to the report, Apple will not throttle the performance of the A17 Pro chip as part of the temperature-related bug fix.
Apple also said that the issue is not a security risk and will not affect the performance of iPhones in the long term.
Apple also stated that the titanium frame and aluminum infrastructure of the iPhone 15 Pro do not contribute to the overheating problem. Apple said the titanium frame and aluminum infrastructure provide better heat dissipation than previous generation Pro models with stainless steel frames.
