So far Apple did not comment on the problem or share its concerns.

The company mentioned that some increased background activity is causing the issue.

Apple highlighted that the heating issue will be felt during the early days of using the iPhone.

[{"selector":"#anim-0efad909-2fcb-4556-9b19-a8e1e06c461d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cfd7b735-bc73-40b4-8bec-d22fdc79af4d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2d856893-b7ce-4fdd-9d1d-e1892d6f45a5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The company has also observed a bug in iOS 17 which is pushing the levels of some third-party apps.

[{"selector":"#anim-f5864211-0e25-47de-a222-ad1cede4c119","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ae12907-d935-41a9-90af-519d568cac70","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6e11bfc7-05e0-4243-81f8-2f120ceb155e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It will roll out a software update to fix the issue.

[{"selector":"#anim-0f9ad93d-9afe-44b8-bc5a-05558f98f366","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a93e3ba-a5fb-4dcc-a5a2-52008f9d57f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5daf6c29-afb1-45df-bd44-21aa8d02d71f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

And it will also help the third-party app developers to reduce the heating impact.

Apple confirms that charging the iPhone 15 using a higher adapter with more than 20W will increase the temperature.
