Why are some iPhone 15 models overheating and what is Apple doing to fix it?

TECH NEWS — Following reports of overheating issues with some of its iPhone 15 models, Apple has confirmed it is working on a software fix to address the problem. While the company said there is no safety risk and the long-term performance of impacted iPhones will not be affected, it added there are several circumstances causing the overheating.

These include recently updated third-party apps, such as Instagram, Uber and arcade racing game Asphalt 9, as well as a bug in iOS 17.
