The new iPhone 15 overheats due to a bug in Apple’s operating system and updates to Instagram.

Some users have complained that the latest smartphone model is too hot to touch since September.

When updating iOS 17, Apple said there was a bug.

The company also claimed that third-party apps are overloading the system.

As a result of the amount of processing power used and the handset working overtime, iPhone users have become used to their devices becoming hotter during set-up and backing up.

Social media users complained the new phones were hot.

Due to increased background activity, the device may feel warmer after setting up or restoring.

We have identified a few conditions that can cause iPhones to run hotter than expected.”

It includes a bug in iOS 17, the most recent version of Apple’s software.

In addition, “some recent updates to third-party apps are overloading the system,” and the company is working with app developers on fixes.

According to Apple, Instagram, Uber, and Asphalt 9 are among the culprits.

Last week, Instagram fixed the issue.

To address iPhone’s temperature, iOS 17’s upcoming bug fix won’t reduce performance.

According to Apple, the warming phones are not caused by the titanium casing instead of stainless steel on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

In addition, it denied speculation that the overheating problem had anything to do with the new USB-C port.

The issue will not affect the phone’s performance in the long run, Apple said.
