Apple says it will fix software problems blamed for making iPhone 15 models too hot to handle::Apple is blaming a software bug and other issues tied to popular apps such as Instagram and Uber for causing its recently released iPhone 15 models to heat up and spark complaints about becoming too hot to handle
Apple apologists in these threads are ridiculous. When Samsung or Google has even the smallest issue everyone (including those of us with Samsung or Google phones) piles on and we have a good laugh at the fuck up made by a hugely successful company.
Apple makes a mistake, and it’s just waves of defensive people downplaying the issue.
It’s just fanboys being fanboys. Doesn’t really matter what brand it is. I just think there happens to be many many more apple fanboys than there are for other brands.

I think people are annoyed because of all the threads where people really wish that this was a hardware problem. It doesn’t look like that’s the case. It’s bugs.
We should be shitting on Apple for releasing yet another major release with a critical issue. Apple’s software quality has very much gone downhill during the Cook years. Every major release seems to have some court of critical bug that fucks over a lot of people. Example, iOS 16 decimated everyone’s HomeKit setups.
Uhhhh well let’s wait and see what actually happens before we say anything confidently, Apple is TELLING us it’s a software issue but that doesn’t mean it’s not hardware. Their “solution” might just be throttling the shit out of their processor. Which, to be fair, might not even be that noticeable as iPhones have processing power to spare.
Remember “antenna-gate”? Apple told us they could fix it with software there too, and it ended up being bullshit. That was a pure hardware problem, but their PR people are trained to say “we’ll fix it with an update” before they actually have any real info.
The reason I say it’s a software issue is because the broader community has been trying to reproduce this over the past week, and folks can reproduce it on a broad array of iOS 17 and iPad OS 17 devices. It’s not just the 15 Pros.
Fair enough, but I still say we wait and see before we say anything confidently. Apple has lied to us in the past.
Given that it’s reproducible on old iPhones and iPads, and there are reports of iOS 17 compatibility issues with apps that go back to Beta 1, it seems like hardware is probably not the big culprit.
The big giveaway should’ve been when people were reporting issues with the Pros and the base 15. The base phone is basically year old hardware.
People should be shitting on Apple’s software QA.
You are hilarious. There’s like 3 of you responding to each other multiple times in multiple threads.
Can we please stop posting and upvoting these comments that simply seek to offend other (groups of) people for their choice of product/brand? It’s disgraceful and adds absolutely nothing of relevance to the discussion.
