iPhone 15 overheating blamed on iOS 17 bugs and specific apps

Apple says iPhone 15 and 15 Pro phones are getting too hot, but says it’s a software problem in both iOS 17 and third-party apps that is already being addressed

This is almost certainly an iOS 17 issue, and it looks like it’s going to be patched soon.

Blaming the titanium doesn’t make sense. People are also reporting the issue on the iPhone 15 models that are all aluminum and are running an iteration of the old A16.

This will be a non issue in a few days.

I have a titanium flashlight and it sucks for heat dissipation. It overheats very quickly. I would bet it has something to do with it.

The Ti in the new pros is just a band around some aluminum, and this issue is being reproduces on the aluminum phones, old stainless steel phones, iPads, etc.

All signs are starting to point to software now.
