Apple says Titanium design not to blame for iPhone 15 Pro overheating issues

Prepend to the content

Highlights
  • Several Apple iPhone 15 customers have recently complained about unusual overheating issues from their new devices
  • Apple has finally acknowledged this issue while also confirming that the issue may be software-related
  • Unconfirmed speculation on the internet had previously suggested that the new Titanium design on the Pro models could be the culprit

The Apple iPhone 15 series has been available for a few weeks. In this brief period, there have been scattered reports about the new quartet of smartphones suffering from overheating issues. This led to speculation that the titanium design of the iPhone 15 Pro models was to blame for this phenomenon.

Apple has now set the record straight, telling multiple outlets that the overheating problems result from an iOS 17 bug and have nothing to do with the heavily advertised aerospace‑grade titanium design. It’s worth noting that overheating complaints have also been associated with the iPhone 15 Plus, which sticks to the older aluminium design and doesn’t feature titanium.

Here’s Apple’s statement in its entirety:

We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity.

We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and will be addressed in a software update. Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system. We’re working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out.

A fix is on the way

Thankfully for owners of either of the four iPhone 15 models, Apple said a forthcoming iOS 17 update should remedy these heating issues. Although the company didn’t specify which update would address this complaint, it rolled out iOS 17.0.2 initially for the iPhone 15 series, followed by all other eligible models last week.

So one can presume that iOS 17.0.3 would carry the fix for this overheating trouble, though Apple hasn’t confirmed this yet. The issues may not be fully resolved even with a new iOS 17 update, however. As Apple points out in its statement, third-party apps could also have contributed to the heating trouble. We recommend keeping a close eye on the App Store for app updates.
