Apple has acknowledged user complaints that the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro phones are overheating. reports Forbes, but said that, contrary to speculation, it has nothing to do with the phone’s hardware design. Forbes noted that an Instagram update with version 302, released on September 27, has already been released to fix some of the issues.
Bloomberg notes an anonymous Apple spokesperson who specifically mentions Instagram, Uber and the game Asphalt 9 as examples of apps that could make devices “run hotter than normal.”
Apple also says that there is no security risk from thermal issues, but that other factors, such as USB-C power adapters with more than 20W charging and background processing that occurs shortly after a phone, they can make a phone warmer than an iPhone. the user might be used to it.
The company also said Forbes that the fix, which should come with iOS 17.1, will not reduce performance, something that some, such as Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi KuoHe said, it was a possibility.
Apple made some big changes to the iPhone 15 phones, including the new A17 Pro chip made using TSMC’s 3nm process and the use of titanium in its frame construction. The chip and its new six-core GPU is supposed to be one of the big selling points of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, as it makes it possible for the game to run graphics-intensive games like Resident of the bad townwhich will be released later this year, almost with console fidelity.
