Apple on Saturday said it has identified a few issues which can cause new iPhones to run warmer than expected, including a bug in the iOS 17 software which will be fixed in an upcoming update.
I'm still quite curious what caused the issue for Instagram on the iPhone 15 to use more resources than the previous phones. They're not that different I think.
On user devices that may be the case, but display units don't have it installed, and all of them were still almost uncomfortably hot at times, in my local store
As with all companies now striving to do more with less and do it faster, they've released a flawed product. Could QC have found this? Or is quality control something they deemed sufficient by simulation? The tech industry is eating itself alive right now with this crap.
With software is kind of hard, you can't be proactive, you can only be reactive. Especially with such a huge amount of applications. You can't predict what each application will do and how it will affect the rest of the system. Only thing you can do is wait for issue to happen and react fast. And am not even defending Apple, it's just the way it is. You can test and try and have things work for you but cause issues for others.
Great take. One of the main reasons I switched to iOS this year after always using Android is Apple’s relatively faster fixes. (Yeah Google is fast with the Pixel, but I’ve got more reasons.)
I don’t blame Apple. I wanted to share this article because some posters who experienced this were lambasted/mocked for claiming their phones overheated.
