Taking cognisance of the issue, Apple shared with MacRumors that the new iPhones turn warm due to background activity after the initial setup and data restoration process.

The tech giant added that it will roll out fixes in the future.

And in the latest move, while introducing iOS 17.0.3 for users, Apple said: "This update provides important bug fixes and security updates, and addresses an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected." Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed the new iPhone overheats due to the compromises in the "thermal system design," and lowering the CPU performance would fix the problem.
