Apple will issue a software update to address iPhone 15 overheating complaints::Apple said that the new iPhones were running hot because of a combination of bugs in iOS 17, bugs in apps, and a temporary set-up period.
So they’re going to soft limit the performance, and make the phone slower.
What do you mean? Apple is pushing an amazing new patch which will make your battery last longer and outperforms all other phones! And it runs cooler now too! Wow Apple.
Bet anything it’s by slowing down the processor and lowering performance
Did you read the article?
Having read this article and The Verge’s article, it’s clear that they won’t be making changes to the processor clock speed. The iOS 17 bug is likely related to background processes and specific apps that initiate them but don’t let them go. As someone who doesn’t use any of the apps in question, I can say that my phone doesn’t get hot in the ways mentioned. A friend of mine is a heavy Instagram user, and his 15 is hot all the time.

The overheating issues shouldn’t have happened in the first place, but there is no high-end phone in existence (except maybe some gamer phones with active cooling) that is actually able to sustain high clock speeds without overheating. They all throttle at some point, this might really be just a bug that is fixable via software.
All CPUs throttle at certain temperatures. The question is, at what temperature should the iPhone throttle? And why are some apps behaving in a way that doesn’t end strenuous loads when the phone heats up?
Instagram isn’t an inherently processor intensive app, so it’s not like the strain is coming a result of expected or normal use.
„related to background processes and specific apps“ I notice that a lot on my iPad, too. With Safari for example
I know what they said. It’s not like they have a history of throttling devices due to poor software.
The Verge is 100% bought and paid for by Apple. They have been for over half a decade.
Even if that were the case, there are plenty of people that have shown that simply opening Instagram on your phone immediately raises the temperatures for iOS 17 devices, and that, allowing it to remain open in the background raises the temperature to the level described in recent articles. You may think that the verge favorably reports on Apple, fairly or unfairly, but the evidence is out there, and in this case, it seems to be the truth.
Nah,they’re just going to activate the cooling pumps sooner.
If so, best believe it will be on full display in benchmarks and reported everywhere immediately.
Everyone seems so happy about this in the thumbnail.
It’s winter?
So if you use the device extremely heavily it’s still going to get too hot to touch?
