“We have identified some factors that may cause the iPhone to run hotter than expected,” a spokesman said Monday after several testers reported an overheating problem in some new models.
The Apple brand mentions that it is normal for the smartphone to “seem” warmer during the configuration phase, the first few days.
“We also discovered a bug in iOS 17 [le logiciel d’exploitation]which is affecting some users and will be resolved in a software update,” the company said.
Apple also mentions another factor: “Recent updates to third-party applications causing system overload. We are working with these application developers on fixes that are currently being deployed.”
According to articles from influencers and expert testers, Instagram, Uber and certain video games like Asphalt 9 (car racing) help heat up the device.
Some observers have questioned the titanium shell of the iPhone 15 Pro, but Apple assures that this material, combined with aluminum and a new design, on the contrary, allows better heat dissipation.
The American technology giant introduced its new iPhone series in mid-September. The base model, the iPhone 15, starts at $800, and the most expensive professional model, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, costs at least $1,200.
