“We have targeted some things that may cause the iPhone to run hotter than expected,” a spokesman said on Monday, after multiple tests pointed to an overheating problem in new models.
The Apple brand mentions that it is normal for smartphones to appear warmer during the configuration phase, the first few days.
We also discovered a bug [le logiciel d’exploitation de l’iPhone] iOS 17 affecting certain users and will be fixed in a software update, the company said.
Applications pointed out
Another factor is overheating of some devices, especially recent updates of third-party applications, which lead to system overload. “We are working with these application developers on fixes that are currently being deployed,” Apple says.
According to specialized websites, Instagram, Uber and certain video games such as Asphalt 9 (car racing) help heat up the device.
The titanium shell of the iPhone 15 Pro has also been questioned, 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 range in mid-September (new window). The base model, the iPhone 15, starts at $1,130, while the most expensive professional model, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, costs at least $1,750.
