Apple Confirms No Hardware And Titanium Frame Issue Behind iPhone 15 Heating — Fix Coming Soon With iOS Update

In response to reports of new iPhone owners encountering excessive heat issues, Apple announced on Saturday its intention to release an iOS 17 software update aimed at addressing this concern, or at least a portion of it.
An Apple spokesperson stated, "We have identified several conditions that can lead to the iPhone running warmer than expected."
These conditions include: It is normal for iPhones to generate warmth during the initial setup phase as they download data.
However, some users, including myself, have observed heat concerns with the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max even after the setup was completed.
Apple has acknowledged the presence of a bug in iOS 17 that will be resolved through a forthcoming software update.
Importantly, this update will not compromise device performance.
Recent updates to certain third-party apps have been causing system overload issues.
Apple is actively collaborating with these app developers to implement fixes that are currently being rolled out.
Notable apps in this category include Uber and Instagram, with Instagram having already issued a fix earlier this week.
Apple has also clarified that the issue is not linked to the use of titanium in the frame of the Pro models.
Despite some speculation by analysts and experts that the new material might contribute to the heat problem, Apple asserts that titanium actually provides better heat dissipation compared to the previous stainless-steel Pro models.
The heating issue should be fixed with iOS 17.1, which is currently under beta testing and is projected to be officially launched in late October.
Apple may also opt to expedite a bug-fix solution through a smaller interim software update, like iOS 17.0.3, before the release of iOS 17.1.
Further, Apple has clarified that the iPhone 15 Pro's overheating problem is not related to its titanium frame and aluminium substructure, effectively ruling out any hardware-related concerns.
