Customers of the Apple iPhone 15 express complaints about overheating while Apple prepares a cure
Apple is preparing a software upgrade to address users’ complaints about overheating.
Some users of Apple’s newest smartphone have reported issues with the gadget overheating, which has prompted the company to prepare an update to address the problem.
On September 22, the business unveiled the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. However, customers soon began to complain that the devices were operating substantially warmer than they should.
The issue doesn’t pose a risk to safety or harm and won’t have a negative impact on the phone’s long-term performance, according to Apple, which stated on Saturday that has found a fault in the iOS 17 software that’s causing the phones to feel hotter than they should.
Aside from the software flaw, the company claimed that iPhones often run hotter in the days “after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity” linked to data downloads and software upgrades for apps as well as the phone’s operating system.
Using a new iPhone for an extended period of time while playing games, viewing films, or using the wireless charging feature can also cause it to run hotter than usual.
Apple continued, “Another issue includes some recent changes to third-party apps that are overloading the system.
Uber and Meta’s Instagram are two examples of third-party applications that have caused the iPhone 15 to overheat. According to Apple, the apps were to blame for the phone’s overburdened system, and the company is “working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out.” Last Monday, Instagram updated its app to solve the problem.
Apple claimed that the titanium frame of the iPhone 15 isn’t the source of the heat problem and that when the phone is operating, the metal actually does a better job of dissipating heat than prior stainless-steel iPhones.
The business hasn’t stated a release date for the software upgrade to fix the flaw in iOS 17, however
