As the heat controversy continued surrounding the Apple iPhone 15, which was released less than two weeks ago, Apple unusually acknowledged the problem and announced that it would quickly resolve the issue. Apple’s position is that it will solve the problem by updating the software (SW), but controversy has arisen once more among users over whether this method is appropriate. As there is no update schedule yet, domestic users who have been waiting for the new iPhone are in trouble.
Apple “heating is due to iOS 17 bug”

According to the information and communications (IT) industry on the 2nd, Apple is preparing an update to iOS 17 to solve the heating problem that occurred in the iPhone 15.
After iPhone 15 sales began on the 22nd of last month, there was a series of responses from iPhone users that the product was overheating, and Apple issued a statement on the 30th of last month, despite it being the weekend, saying, “We acknowledge that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models overheat easily. “We will resolve it soon,” he announced. Apple explained that heating problems may occur due to increased background activity due to bugs in the latest iOS 17 operating system and updates to some other companies’ apps.
In particular, Apple emphasizes that the heating problem is not related to the newly installed titanium.did. Since it is not a hardware (SW) level problem, the problem can be solved with a SW update. Apple emphasized that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are made of titanium and are resistant to external shocks. However, Apple did not announce when the iOS 17 update would occur.
Suspicion raised that Apple is distributing GOS

As the update has not yet been distributed, users are expressing various opinions regarding Apple’s official announcement. especially The reaction is mainly comparing it to the Galaxy S22 released by Samsung Electronics last year.. In the information and communications (IT) community, one user posted, “Isn’t this an update to the official iPhone version Game Optimization Service (GOS)?”
Controversy arose when the Galaxy S22 was forced to operate GOS, a software that limits maximum performance to manage heat, without informing the user. At the time, suspicions arose that Samsung Electronics was trying to solve the heat problem with software rather than hardware, such as heat dissipation materials, in order to reduce costs. This led to a loss of trust in premium products that cost well over 1 million won, and eventually Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Han Jong-hee officially apologized at the general shareholders’ meeting. Samsung Electronics strengthened cooling in the Galaxy S23 released this year by incorporating a wider vapor chamber (vapor heat sink).
“If the problem cannot be resolved, sales will be negatively affected.”
On the 13th of last month, when the Apple smartphone series iPhone 15 was released, an iPhone 15 pre-order notice was posted in front of a mobile phone store in Jung-gu, Seoul. Newsis
Apple emphasized, “To solve the heating problem of the iPhone 15 series, we will make sure that the performance of the device is not degraded through the upcoming iOS 17 update.”
But I am well versed in Apple news. Ming-Chi Kuo, researcher at TF International, Taiwanwrote on his blog, “The main cause of this problem is the result of Apple compromising the thermal system design to achieve lighter weight, such as reducing the heat dissipation area and using a titanium frame,” which is likely to have a negative impact on thermal efficiency. “It is high,” he analyzed. In fact, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max weigh 19g less than their predecessors. The iPhone 15 Pro Max weighs 221g, making it the lightest Pro Max model ever.
He continued, “Apple is expected to solve the problem through a SW update, but as a result, unless Apple lowers the performance of the processor, the improvement effect may be limited. If Apple does not properly solve this problem, iPhone 15 sales will be affected.” “It might have a negative impact,” he added.
