According to a report from Forbes, Apple acknowledged users’ complaints that their iPhone 15 Pro phones were overheating. But he also said that, contrary to speculation, this has nothing to do with the hardware design of the phone. According to Apple, the reason for the heating is some applications and some minor bugs in iOS 17.
Bloomberg notes that an unnamed Apple spokesperson specifically mentioned Instagram, Uber apps and the Asphalt 9 game as examples of applications that could cause devices to “run hotter than normal.”
Additionally, Apple says that there are no thermal issues, but other factors, such as USB-C power adapters with more than 20W charging and background processing that occurs shortly after the phone boots up, can make the phone hotter than an iPhone user is used to.
Countering claims suggested by some people, such as Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, that Apple will have to reduce the processor speed, the company told Forbes that the fix that should come with iOS 17.1 will not result in decreased performance.
Apple has made some big changes with its iPhone 15 phones, including the new A17 Pro chip manufactured from TSMC’s 3nm process and the use of titanium in the structure of its frame. The new chip and six-core GPU, which enable graphics-intensive games such as Resident Evil Village, which will be released later this year, to be run at console-like quality, were expected to be the most attractive features of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.
