Apple has reportedly explained how you can 'keep using your device' amid overheating issues from their new iPhone 15 line-up.
Hand gloves might not be needed this winter as owners of the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Max, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, have been reporting issues of their devices overheating to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one user said that the 'iPhone 15 Pro Max gets so hot sometimes, that if you're using it caseless you can't even hold it'.
Another tech fan complained: "Heat issues horrible, this is not what I was expecting (15 Pro Max)."

While someone else said: "I knew I wasn't tripping. Immediately noticed as soon as I turned it on. 'Hot core' just keeps getting hotter."
In a statement to Forbes, Apple confirmed that it was working on the issue after it had 'identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected'.
It continued: "The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity.
"We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and will be addressed in a software update. Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system.

"We’re working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out."
Now, until the new iOS 17 update comes out, an Apple employee has reportedly provided a potential short-term charging fix, that might work for some people.
"These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when the process is complete or when you finish your activity," an Apple spokesperson explained to the Daily Mail.
"If your device doesn't display a temperature warning, you can keep using your device.

"You can charge your iPhone with a USB-C cable and power adapter compliant with the USB-C standard, including USB Power Delivery - such as the cable with your iPhone.
"These cables and power adapters are widely available from Apple and other manufacturers.
"Connect the cable to your iPhone's USB-C connector and a compatible USB-C power adapter. Then, plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
"If you have a 20W USB-C power adapter or higher-wattage USB-C power adapter - like the one that came with your Mac laptop - you can use it with your iPhone for faster charging.
"You can also charge your iPhone by connecting it to the USB-C port on your computer."
