Apple released a software update for iOS 17 aimed at fixing a bug that was causing the new iPhone 15 smartphones to overheat and feel hotter than expected.
Apple released a software update on Wednesday to address an overheating issue affecting the new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max smartphones. The update will impact devices running Apple’s iOS 17 operating system and provides "important bug fixes, security updates, and addresses an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected," the company explained.
Apple added that the iPhone overheating was partly caused by "some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system." Among the third-party apps were Meta’s Instagram as well as ride-sharing app Uber. Over the weekend, Apple said it was "working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out." Instagram released an update to its app last week that was aimed at addressing the issue.
Although there was some speculation that the iPhone 15’s titanium frame was contributing to the overheating, Apple said the metal is actually better at dissipating heat when the phone is running than older stainless-steel iPhones.
