The fix won’t involve throttling performance, Apple says.
Apple blames iOS 17 bugs and apps like Instagram for making iPhone 15s run hot::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
It’s clearly iOS 17 and it’s compatibility with old apps that ran fine on 16. People have been reporting heat issues with Instagram since 17 beta 1.
If it was the A17 or the Titanium frame, it wouldn’t be impacting the base 15, which is the old A16 and aluminum enclosure. Also people wouldn’t be able to reproduce on older phones and iPads with iOS 17 / iPad OS 17.
Every major Windows, Android, iOS release has some apps that shit the bed and are incompatible with a big n.0 release. This is more of the same. Apple needs to step up their QA game, and this should be yet another a reminder of what happens when you jump into a new major OS update on week 1. The risk of broken 3rd party apps is high at that time. Always has been.
What nonsense pitchforking is this? It’s not “blaming” if it’s true. It’s right in the article that instagram pushed an updated version to try and resolve.
I’ve had no issues with my phone even feeling warm, and I don’t use Instagram. People are talking about so many different issues I’ve not experienced, thought maybe I’ve just been lucky.
Apparently the Pro and Pro Max don’t have the issue. Which either means hardware is at least somewhat involved, or the titanium chassis is better at dissipating heat.

Yeah. Are they trying to Judo this?

15 pm here and I also don’t use any of the social media apps (except voyager). No heat issues.

If it’s a purely software issue that’s very good to hear. Should be way less problematic in the long run, than a hardware design flaw.
