Apple will release an iOS 17 update to address the iPhone 15 Pro’s cooling issue
According to a statement the firm provided to MacRumors and Forbes reporter David Phelan today, Apple intends to deliver an iOS 17 update to fix a flaw that may be related to the alleged iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issue.
A few recent modifications to third-party programs, according to Apple, have overburdened the system and caused the overheating problem. According to the article, some of these applications include Instagram, Uber, and the racing game Asphalt 9: Legends, and Apple is collaborating with their creators to find a solution. According to the source, Instagram previously made a patch available as part of a Wednesday app update.
According to Apple, due to increased background activity during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device, iPhone 15 Pro models may run warmer than anticipated. This is a transitory issue and typical behavior for new iPhones.
Apple’s statement:
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. 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.
With iOS 17.1, which is presently in beta and is anticipated to be published in late October, the bug ought to be fixed. With a smaller software update, like iOS 17.0.3, Apple might also make a bug fix available sooner.
The rumor claims that as part of the bug repair for the temperature-related issue, Apple will not be decreasing the performance of the A17 Pro chip. The problem, according to Apple, poses no threat to user safety and won’t affect the performance of the afflicted iPhones in the long run.
Apple ruled out a hardware issue by claiming that the titanium frame and aluminum substructure of the iPhone 15 Pro do not contribute to the overheating problem.
It’s unclear how many consumers overall are affected by the issue, and not all iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users have reported overheating, but it should soon be fixed.
