Users started to complain about the new iPhone’s overheating shortly after it started to ship. Apple now attributes a problem instead of the new titanium hardware.
According to Apple, the overheating of the recently announced iPhone 15 Pro is being caused by a software problem and a few specific apps.
Multiple media sources were informed by the business that it is now working on a patch for the iOS 17 flaw that it believes is to blame for the overheating. Recent updates to third-party applications like Asphalt 9, Instagram, and Uber, among others, are overtaxing the device’s processor, claims Apple.
“Due to increased background activity, the device may feel warmer the first few days after being set up or restored. We have also discovered a flaw in iOS 17 that is affecting some users and will be fixed in a software update, according to Apple, which was quoted by CNET.
Another problem is that certain third-party apps have received recent updates that are overtaxing the machine. On fixes that are currently being rolled out, we collaborate with the developers of these apps.
At its yearly event on September 12, Apple initially announced the new iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro model has a more potent A17 Pro chip than the ordinary iPhone 15 model, which was also launched on the same day. Apple bills this chip as the first three-nanometer semiconductor in the market.
According to the manufacturer, this chip has a significantly redesigned GPU and can play console games like Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding on smartphones.
This chip brings in a “new chapter of performance and games never before seen on iPhone,” according to Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior VP of global marketing, at the time.
According to Joswiak, “iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max represent the best of Apple design and industry-first innovations to help enrich the daily lives of our users while enabling them to unleash their creativity.”
The phone boasts a titanium build to give it a sturdy but lightweight feel, however, when it began shipping, numerous consumers across the globe began to complain about the gadget overheating shortly after use.
At its Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this year, Apple launched iOS 17, which it claims is to blame for the issue.
