MADRID, 2 Oct. (Portaltic/EP) -

Apple has acknowledged that the new iPhone 15 and 15 Pro are experiencing overheating beyond what is considered normal in the first few days of use, which they attribute to a bug in iOS 17. As a result, Apple has announced that it is preparing patches to fix the issue.

The first few days of using a new mobile device not only involve setting it up for the first time, but also reconfiguring and restoring backups of the most commonly used services for the user.

This configuration of the new smartphone can cause the device to overheat during the early days, as it has a lot of background activity, as explained by Apple to Forbes. But after that initial setup process, it is not so common.

"We also found a bug in iOS 17 that is affecting some users and it will be fixed in a software update," they confirm. And they add that there is another problem "related to some recent updates of third-party applications that overload the system."

Therefore, they state that they are "working with these application developers on fixes that are being implemented."

Although more attention has been given to the overheating issues of the iPhone 15 Pro series, it also affects the iPhone 15 series. Both were released on September 22.

In their first week on the market, users who managed to purchase one of these smartphones noticed that it overheated excessively, especially during battery charging and prolonged but not intensive use.

Initial speculation pointed to the A17 Pro processor as the cause of this problem, although Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo pointed to the design of the thermal system as the cause, due to "concessions made to achieve a lighter weight." Apple finally linked it to a bug in the operating system, iOS 17.
