Apple has announced that it will soon release a update for iOS 17 which will address the problem of overheating found on iPhone 15 Pro. Indirectly, Apple has admitted that there is a problem. But it seems like overheating is not due to hardware problems or to the new titanium material used in the device: an update will be enough to solve the problem. Although it remains to be understood whether this will have an impact on the performance of the device.
iPhone 15 Pro, Apple announces the update for overheating
Apparently, the overheating appears to be caused by a suboptimal resource management, with a particular focus on the behavior of third-party apps. Apple is working on an update, supposedly named iOS 17.1which should normalize the surface temperatures of the devices and reduce them to more acceptable levels.
It is important to note that the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max overheat does not pose any risk to the safety of the user or the device itself. However, it appears to depend on the use of USB-C power adapters rated above 20 watts and the background activity of third-party apps. Forbes (via Wired.it) reports apps like Uberthe game Asphalt 9 e Instagramwith the latter having released an update to address the issue.
Hopefully with the arrival of iOS 17.1, iPhone 15 Pro users will enjoy a more manageable temperature and an improved user experiencewithout slowing down performance. It remains to be seen how Apple will meet this challenge and respond to user expectations.
Apple assures that users will not see any slowdowns, but as always you should wait to test these claims. We will keep you posted.
