Bug in iOS 17, updates to third party apps, and increased background activity described to be the possible reason of overheating by Apple

Ever since the Apple iPhone 15 series was launched in the market, the tech world has been buzzing with its overheating problem. A number of posts surfaced online claiming this problem with their brand new iPhone 15 series phone. Users also came forth to put their possible explanation behind this issue but none of them felt digestible until a known analyst Ming Chi Kyo presented the possible reason.

Ming wrote in a blog post that “The primary cause is more likely the compromises made in the thermal system design to achieve a lighter weight, such as the reduced heat dissipation area and the use of a titanium frame, which negatively impacts thermal efficiency”.

For the first time, Apple has come forth to make a statement regarding this issue. Apple said to Forbes “We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity.”

Further Apple said “We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting 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.”
