Apple will be pushing an update to fix the bug without hampering performance.
Shortly after its first sale on September 22, the iPhone 15 Pro series made a number of headlines over its heating issues.
Some users complained that the device became uncomfortably hot to handle, while others even measured the phone's temperature with thermometers.
However, only half of iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users have faced this issue, with the other half claiming that their devices were running fine.
Why are phones heating up?
Speculation arose that these heating problems were linked to its new titanium body, a first for Apple, in both the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Nevertheless, Apple has attributed the issue to a bug in iOS 17.

The tech giant explained that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro may experience initial heating during setup or restoration due to "increased background activity."
Furthermore, the company mentioned that a bug in iOS 17 and updates from third-party apps could also contribute to the phone's overheating.
Apps like Instagram and Uber are also causing some issues.
Apple has assured users that a forthcoming software update will address the iOS 17 bug and resolve the heating problem, with no expected impact on the performance of the iPhone 15 Pro models.
Apple stated to CNET, "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 impacts 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."
On titanium frame changing colours Previously, Apple had mentioned in a support document that the titanium body of the iPhone 15 Pro might be temporarily affected by the oil from a user's skin, leading to a change in colour.
However, this alteration is reversible and not a cause for concern.
Apple provided guidance on restoring the original appearance of the iPhone 15 Pro, recommending the use of a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Apple also addressed concerns about other iPhones with glass finishes, noting that they might exhibit "material transfer" from objects in contact with the device, which can sometimes resemble scratches.
This, too, can typically be removed.
