Apple will issue a software update to address iPhone 15 overheating complaints::Apple said that the new iPhones were running hot because of a combination of bugs in iOS 17, bugs in apps, and a temporary set-up period.
So they’re going to soft limit the performance, and make the phone slower.
What do you mean? Apple is pushing an amazing new patch which will make your battery last longer and outperforms all other phones! And it runs cooler now too! Wow Apple.
So if you use the device extremely heavily it’s still going to get too hot to touch?
Everyone seems so happy about this in the thumbnail.
It’s winter?

Bet anything it’s by slowing down the processor and lowering performance

Did you read the article?
Having read this article and The Verge’s article, it’s clear that they won’t be making changes to the processor clock speed. The iOS 17 bug is likely related to background processes and specific apps that initiate them but don’t let them go. As someone who doesn’t use any of the apps in question, I can say that my phone doesn’t get hot in the ways mentioned. A friend of mine is a heavy Instagram user, and his 15 is hot all the time.

But that means the heat comes from high load, meaning that stressing the CPU even after the update will cause the device to get very hot.

I know what they said. It’s not like the have a history of throttling devices due to poor software.

The Verge is 100% bought and paid for by Apple. They have been for over half a decade.

„related to background processes and specific apps“ I notice that a lot on my iPad, too. With Safari for example

Nah,they’re just going to activate the cooling pumps sooner.

If so, best believe it will be on full display in benchmarks and reported everywhere immediately.
