Apple has verified that the overheating issue affecting some iPhone 15 models is caused by a bug in iOS 17 and certain third-party apps. The company is working on a software update to fix the bug, and has advised users to update their apps to the latest versions.

In a statement to the media, Apple said that the overheating issue is not related to the iPhone 15’s hardware design, including its new titanium frame. The company also said that the issue is not widespread, and that only a small percentage of users have been affected.

Apple has identified a number of third-party apps that are contributing to the overheating issue, including Instagram, Uber, and Asphalt 9. The company is working with these developers to fix the issue, and some updates have already been rolled out.

In the meantime, Apple has advised users to take the following steps to reduce the risk of overheating:

Update all of your apps to the latest versions.
Avoid using demanding apps for extended periods of time.
Take breaks from using your phone if it feels hot to the touch.
Avoid using your phone while it is charging.
If your phone does overheat, turn it off and let it cool down before using it again.

Apple expects to release the software update to fix the overheating issue in the coming weeks.

Additional information:

The overheating issue is most likely to occur when using demanding apps, such as games, video editing apps, and augmented reality apps.
Users may notice that their phone is overheating by feeling a warm or hot sensation on the back of the device. The phone may also slow down or become unresponsive.
If your phone overheats, it is important to stop using it immediately and let it cool down. You can do this by turning it off and placing it in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Apple apologizes for any inconvenience this issue may cause.
