Since Apple’s iPhone 15 hit the sales counters almost a week ago, there have been increasing reports from users that their new smartphone is running hot.
The Wall Street Journal also mentioned this overheating problem in an article after testing the iPhone 15. In general, it is not unusual for newly set up iPhones to initially feel warmer when, for example, they are restored with backup data stored in the cloud. The devices can also become hot when using applications that require a lot of computing power.

Software bugs warm up iPhone
But the overheating problems of the iPhone 15 models have probably surpassed these typical situations. Apple itself has now announced that these are due to software errors that will soon be fixed. “We have identified some conditions that could cause iPhone to be warmer than expected,” the company told the AP.

On the one hand, a problem in the new iOS 17 operating system was the trigger for some users, and on the other hand, a few apps such as Instagram and Uber caused the phones to become warmer than usual. Third-party apps causing the problem include the game Asphalt 9, Meta’s social media app Instagram and the ride-hailing service Uber.
Update should cool things down
While Instagram fixed the problem with its app on September 27th, Uber and the video game are still rolling out their updates, Apple said. Apple did not initially provide a timetable for the release of its own software fix. However, there are no security issues that should prevent iPhone 15 owners from using their devices while they wait for the update.
The reports of iPhones heating up had sparked speculation that the new titanium housing or the newly developed chip could have contributed to this. Apple, however, emphasized that the titanium frame ensures better heat dissipation – and that the processor should not be slowed down during software corrections.
