Why is your brand-new Apple iPhone 15 heating up
Apple has attributed the new iPhone 15’s overheating on a problem in its operating system and updates to apps like Instagram.
Some consumers have complained that the newest smartphone model is becoming too hot to handle when it first went on sale in September.
When iOS 17 was updated on the phone, according to Apple, there was a glitch.
However, it also stated that updates to third-party programs “are overloading the system”
Due to the amount of processing power being consumed and the phone working overtime, iPhone owners have become accustomed to their handsets getting hotter during initial setup or when they are being backed up. However, these problems with the iPhone 15 have been worse.
Social media was used by users to protest that the new phones were scorching.
In the first few days “after setting up or restoring the device due to increased background activity,” Apple warns that the iPhone may feel warmer.
The company claims that “We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhones to run warmer than expected.”
This has a bug in iOS 17, Apple’s most recent operating system that works with its most latest devices.
The business went on to say that “another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are overloading the system,” adding that it is working with app developers on solutions that are now being distributed.
According to Apple, the problematic apps include Instagram, Uber, and the video game Asphalt 9.
The problem with Instagram’s app was previously resolved last week.
The next bug fix for iOS 17 won’t slow down the iPhone’s performance to deal with the temperature issue.
Apple emphasized that the stainless steel used in earlier devices’ casings, which is now replaced with a new titanium casing for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, is not the cause of the overheating phones.
It also denied rumors that the new USB-C port, which allowed it to comply with a directive issued by European authorities, had anything to do with the overheating issue.
Apple claimed the problem poses no risk to health or safety and won’t have an effect on the phone’s functionality in the long run.
