Apple Says It Will Fix iPhone 15 Overheating Issues With Software Update

Apple has officially commented on overheating issues that some users are experiencing with their new iPhone 15 devices.

Here's what the company told Forbes this morning...

"We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity."


Additionally, Apple says it has found a bug in iOS 17 that is affecting select users and some third party code that is overloading devices.

"We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and will be addressed in a software update. Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system. We're working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out."

Instagram reportedly released a potential fix (version 302) on September 27 and Apple is investing if any other apps could have the same issue.

Notably, Apple says the overheating issue is not due to the new titanium material used for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Additionally, the company says that there is no risk to safety or to long-term performance of the iPhone due to overheating as there are protections in place.
