Apple is attributing the heating concerns with its recently released iPhone 15 models to a software bug and problems associated with popular apps like Instagram and Uber. Reports of the devices becoming uncomfortably warm have sparked complaints among users.
iOS17 System Update in the Works to Address Overheating
In response to the complaints, Apple announced that it is diligently working on an update to the iOS17 system, which powers the iPhone 15 lineup. The aim is to prevent the devices from reaching uncomfortable heat levels. Apple is also collaborating with apps that are overwhelming the system, causing it to overload.
To mitigate any potential overheating, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Instagram, owned by Meta Platforms, has already made adjustments to its social media app. The modifications were made to ensure the device does not heat up when running on the latest iPhone operating system.
Uber and other apps, including the video game Asphalt 9, are currently in the process of rolling out their updates. Apple did not provide a specific timeline for its software fix but assured users that using their iPhone 15 devices while waiting for the update poses no safety issues.
Apple Identifies Conditions That Contribute to Overheating
According to Japan Today, Apple acknowledged identifying specific conditions that may cause the iPhone 15 to run warmer than expected. While the devices can naturally generate heat during initial use or when restoring from cloud backups, the overheating issues experienced with the new models extend beyond these typical scenarios.
Apple, however, stressed that the issue does not stem from the sleek titanium casing used in the high-end iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
No Connection Between Overheating and Charging Port Change
Apple dismissed speculation that the overheating issue in the new models is linked to the switch from Lightning charging cables to the more widely used USB-C port. The transition was made to comply with a mandate by European regulators and does not contribute to the reported heating problems.
