A couple of tech influencers are pointing to one app as the culprit for their iPhone 15 Pro models overheating.
Since Apple launched its iPhone 15 family of smartphones, the Pro and Pro Max models have come under fire for overheating. The issue was first reported to happen while charging and under a heavy workload, but now some tech influencers are pointing to Instagram as the possible culprit.
Tech influencer Marques Brownlee recently pointed out that his iPhone 15 Pro was overheating while listening to music and using the Instagram app. He remarked, «For like 5 minutes the phone just gets really hot and blasts through like 5% battery.» He added, «And then it’s fine again afterward.»
@iPhonedo has also seen an issue with overheating while using the popular social media app. However, unlike many others, Faruk Korkmaz says he did not see any overheating issues with his iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max until he updated to iOS 17.
