The Cupertino, California, company said on Saturday (Sunday NZT) that it is working on an update to the iOS17 system that powers the iPhone 15 lineup to prevent the devices from becoming uncomfortably hot and is working with apps that are running in ways “causing them to overload the system”.
Instagram modified its social media app earlier this week to prevent it from heating up the device on the latest iPhone operating system.
Uber and other apps such as the video game Asphalt 9 are still in the process of rolling out their updates, Apple said.
The devices also can get hot when using apps such as video games and augmented reality technology that require a lot of processing power, but the heating issues with the iPhone 15 models have gone beyond those typical situations.
The downturn has affected iPhone sales, which fell by a combined 4 per cent in the nine months covered by Apple’s past three fiscal quarters compared with a year earlier.
Apple is trying to pump up its sales in part by raising the starting price for its top-of-the-line iPhone 15 Pro Max to $2499, an increase of $200, or 9 per cent, from last year’s comparable model.
Investor worries about Apple’s uncharacteristic sales funk already have wiped out more than US$300 billion in shareholder wealth since the company’s market value closed at US$3 trillion for the first time in late June.
