    In Jolly Roger's own words... Apple blamed everyone but Apple for the
    simple fact that Apple forgot to test the iPhone 15 before selling it.

    Contrary to the gleeful claims of the resident trolls here stating the
    iPhone 15 has a supposed hardware defect, Apple has confirmed that the
    recent spat of iPhone heat complaints is the result of an *iOS 17 bug*
    that will be fixed shortly in an update:

    Apple confirms iOS 17 fix for overheating iPhones is on the way <https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/09/30/apple-confirms-ios-17-fix-for-overheating-iphones-is-on-the-way>

    The iPhone 15 overheating issue is being worked on by Apple, the company
    has confirmed, with an iOS 17 bug and third-party apps blamed for some
    of the hot iPhone reports. Following the launch of the iPhone 15 and
    iPhone 15 Pro lines, Apple has had to face claims and reports about the
    new smartphones overheating in various situations. On Saturday, the
    iPhone maker has confirmed it is aware of the reports, and it's working
    to solve the problem.

    In comments received by Forbes on the matter, Apple states "*We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected.*" During the first few days of setting up or restoring a
    device, Apple advises some warmth can be expected "*because of increased background activity.*"

    This activity can include the iPhone redownloading apps and bought
    content, as well as a lengthy period of indexing all files for Spotlight search.

    Apple brings up software as a second port of call for the heat issue.
    "*We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and
    will be addressed in a software update,*" Apple says without specifying
    what the bug actually is.

    "*Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system,*" Apple continued. "*We're working
    with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling
    out.*"

    One prominent example of third-party app problems is Instagram, with it claimed to not only overheat the iPhone but to also heavily consume the battery for brief periods of time.

    Testing via YouTube personalities determined that there were occasions
    when using Instagram triggered overheating for up to 10 minutes at a
    time.

    While reports from the public focused on Apple's latest smartphone
    launches, it seems at least for Instagram that it affects other models
    too. Some iPhone 14 generation devices had the same heat issues as their iPhone 15 counterparts, again using Instagram and after updating to iOS
    17.

    Apple didn't advise when it would issue a fix for the situation, but
    there's a chance it could be incorporated into iOS 17.1.

    The record shows I never said Apple blamed anyone.

    The record shows Apple actually said they've determined a bug in iOS 17
    and bugs in some popular third-party apps are the cause of the issue,
    and that they are working to release an OS update and working with third parties to fix these issues.

    The record shows the only person talking about "blame" here is the
    resident man-child troll, Arlen (Wally J).

    Your own words are that you never say anything that isn't factual...

    ...and that the defect was in the iPhone 15 itself.

    Explain, please.

    Everything Apple blamed

    Apple didn't blame. They simply explained the cause and promised a fix.

    I'm going to ask _adult_ questions of you, Jolly Roger... is that OK?

    I wonder if it ever occurs to you that Apple clearly never sufficiently
    tested the defective iPhone 15 until the shit hit the fan in the news.

    When Apple was forced to test the defective iPhone 15 sufficiently...
    Then Apple found a ton of things that were causing the overheating problem.

    It doesn't even occur to you, Jolly Roger... that this is what happened?

    That's your response

    Yes, because you are a clown.

    It's interesting that the adults provide facts and the iKooks can't.

    The facts about Apple products are always what the iKooks can't stand.
    1. Apple produced a defective iPhone.
    2. The fact it's overheating is the defect.
    3. Apple never even once tested the iPhone for that defect.

    Then... when the shit hit the fan such that Apple had to act...
    A. Apple (for the first time!) tested the defective iPhone for overheating.
    B. And Apple found (much to their surprise) lots & lots of reasons for it.
    C. Such that Apple instantly _blamed everyone but Apple_ for those defects.

    Not only are those incontrovertible facts about what happened, but the fact
    is the iKooks _hate_ that adults not only noticed - but that adults
    remembered this is a classic pattern for Apple over the years.

    a. Apple _never sufficiently tested_ the defective iPhones
    b. Apple was eventually _forced to test_ the defective iPhones
    c. Apple _blamed everyone but Apple_ for the defects in those iPhones.

    Such is Apple.
