Apple, this is how we will cool the iPhone 15 Pro processor. The impression of excessive heating of the iPhone 15 Pro is caused by a bug in iOS 17 and, as suspected, by some specific applications that excessively load the A17 Pro processor. he topic that has been occupying Internet sites and social media pages for a few days now Apple intervenes and has released a statement to various American sites, clarifying the contours of the matter.
Not all USB-C power banks work with iPhone 15
The rumors started with the impressions of the first reviewers of the iPhone 15 Pro. The reports spoke of an excessively hot back and temperatures higher than those reached by the predecessor iPhone 14 Pro. Subsequently, a series of reports appeared with normal customers who, thermometer in hand, certified the processor overheating.
Various hypotheses have arisen around these reports, some elaborated by technicians, such as those put forward by Vadim Yuryev Youtuber author of the Max Tech channel who pointed the finger towards the high consumption of the A17 Pro and those by Ming Chi Kuo according to which the iPhone 15 Pro in effects would heat more than the previous ones due to titanium which dissipates less heat than aluminium.
Now we know that it is none of this but “certain conditions due to which – says Apple – iPhone becomes hotter than expected”. Among these “conditions” there are no titanium edges and aluminum structure. Indeed, the new materials dissipate heat better than the previous ones.
The problems would arise primarily from the operations that the iPhone performs in the first few days after setting up for the background activity. Secondly, a bug in iOS 17 that specifically impacts some users and “which will be fixed in a software update,” Apple says.
Finally, some recently updated third-party applications cause an overload of the processor and consequently increased heating of the device. Among the applications mentioned by MacRumors are Instagram and Uber and Asphalt 9.
The developers are already working on some ad hoc updates. For its part, Apple will release an update including it in iOS 17.1 which should arrive at the end of October. It’s also possible that there will be a minor update soon to reduce heating.
If anyone is thinking that Apple lowering the temperature of the A17 Pro will reduce the performance, they are wrong. Cupertino explicitly says that the update will not affect the performance of the processor or affect its long-term performance and there will not even be any risks to the health of the processor.
For our part, as we write in our review of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, we can only say that in the first few days of set up we actually had the impression that the iPhone 15 Pro ran a little hotter than the iPhone 14 Pro, but after a few days the temperature of the two devices became perfectly the same.
