Apple has acknowledged user complaints that iPhone 15 and 15 Pro phones are overheating, reports Forbes, but said that contrary to speculation, it has nothing to do with the phone’s hardware design. Forbes noted an update to Instagram has already rolled out with version 302, released September 27th, to address some of the issues.

      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.

          It’s also just really hard to design devices at scale. Users will always come up with creative ways to blast your hardware apart.

          That use-case was pretty obvious in retrospect, but it’s still hard to test and design for how hundreds of millions of people will use it. I think the entire industry learned from that debacle.

        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?
