iPhone 15 Overheating Concerns Addressed by Apple with iOS Update

The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro have recently faced user complaints about overheating and bugs. Apple has acknowledged these concerns but clarified that it's not due to hardware design. The company mentioned that issues with apps like Instagram, Uber, and Asphalt 9 can cause the devices to run warmer. Moreover, a temporary set-up period and a bug in iOS 17 contribute to the heat generation. Apple assured users that a software update, expected with iOS 17.1, will address these problems without throttling performance. Despite the thermal issues, the iPhone 15 models have been in high demand, and Apple is actively working with app developers to resolve these overheating issues.

Tesla's Q3 Deliveries Dip Amid Factory Upgrades, High Interest Rates

Tesla's Q3 vehicle deliveries didn't meet Wall Street's trimmed expectations, with 435,059 units delivered against the anticipated 440,000-455,000, amid planned factory shutdowns for upgrades and an electric vehicle demand dip due to high interest rates. Although a 27% increase from last year, it's a notable drop from Q2 2023's 466,140 deliveries. The pause in production, paving way for a Model 3 revamp and the forthcoming Cybertruck, alongside high interest rates, are perceived as speed bumps. However, with price cuts resonating well among consumers, Tesla remains optimistic for a rebound in Q4 deliveries, eyeing a strong year-end especially in the Chinese market.
