Apple has accepted the complaints of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users about the devices heating up more than expected.
In a statement, the company said a software update will be coming soon to fix the overheating problem.
The problems appear to be caused by bugs in iOS 17 and recent updates to some third-party apps, including Instagram and Uber, that overload the A17 Pro chip.
Apple said it is working directly with app developers like Instagram to roll out fixes.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo argues that Apple has compromised on cooling in its quest for a lighter iPhone 15 Pro.
In addition, some reports suggested that the iPhone 15 Pro's new titanium frame design could contribute to overheating.
However, Apple claims that the new materials provide better heat dissipation than previous stainless steel iPhones.
Apple emphasises that overheating is not a security issue and will not affect long-term performance.
The company said it is normal for new iPhones to run hotter at startup because they index photos and other content in the background.
