How is it that? It looks the main issue is a patchable OS bug that will be addressed in 17.1, or sooner.
It’s unlikely to be a hardware design flaw. It seems to be sporadic, and hit both the new enclosure materials and CPU, as well as the 15’s with the last generation CPU and old aluminum enclosure.
“Ew, you ran an APP on it? No wonder it over heated”
Ugh you ran OUR firmware on it? Well that shits too buggy
It's like the thing where PCs work a lot better if you don't install any applications.
This is almost certainly an iOS 17 issue, and it looks like it’s going to be patched soon.
Blaming the titanium doesn’t make sense. People are also reporting the issue on the iPhone 15 models that are all aluminum and are running an iteration of the old A16.
This will be a non issue in a few days.
Edit: People are also reporting that these apps heat up the logic board of older hardware, iPads, etc. This looks like a good old fashioned case of a bugs in a new n.0 OS and apps that have not been updated to run smoothly in a new OS.
We have people on YouTube reproducing these thermal issues or iOS 17 and iPad OS 17 devices. The new aluminum phones, old stainless phones, iPads, etc.
There are clearly issues with iOS 17 and some apps that needed to be updated to play nice with the new OS.
A lot of people are experiencing this because Instagram is one of the apps that was heating up logic boards with iOS 17. And in the case of the Insta example, Instagram should’ve caught this earlier. Meta clearly fucked up. People have been reporting this bug in the betas for months, it’s easy to reproduce, and they should know that auto update is aggressive AF on iOS
They should have noticed it with QC terrible excuse
Consumers are Beta testers now
Yeah, let’s be real. It’s something that isn’t impacting most people, a lot of folks in the various Apple forums can’t reproduce it, and it’s going to be patched shortly.
Of the stupid shit Apple has done, this is pretty low on the totem poll.
iPhone runs like a newly installed stove, and Android refuses to dial 911...
Wonderful world we're all living in...

Didn't they blame tight pants for the 6 bending?
I had a 6, and that bending thing was entirely blown out of proportion. I had no problems keeping it in my back pocket, yet YMMV.
I love people putting out the "everyone is wrong because I didn't have a problem" response like there weren't tens of millions of devices sold.
I watched multiple tech reviews bend the thing in their bare hands. Just because you didn't damage yours doesn't mean it wasn't a huge issue
It was really the 6 plus that had banking problems. Was your a plus or regular?
I only have a 13, but iOS 17 was the buggiest OS drop I can remember.
Well they’re not wrong; Ive got an Xr and a 13Pro on 17, and they both ran hot for the first two versions. And I don’t even have Instagram installed….
The official Reddit app launched an update that did this to my then-few months old iPhone 12 Pro Max back in early 2021. Switching to Apollo immediately fixed the problem.
And now here we are. No problems since then, but TBF I haven’t used any other terrible apps that sloppily force as many ads through my phone as fast as possible.
Apple might actually have a point here.
That implies a problem with Apple’s scheduler and/or thermal management
The kernel should never allow a user space processes to overheat the hardware
Fight! Fight! Fight!
