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.

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.

Everything Apple blamed
Apple didn't blame. They simply explained the cause and promised a fix.
That's your response
Yes, because you are a clown.
