The American-based company have claimed that the likes of Instagram and Uber were examples of apps that people had downloaded and forced iPhones to overheat, perhaps due to the storage and power needed to run them.

This update could not have come quickly enough for people around the world because it was claimed that numerous devices were overheating and even reaching temperatures of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit just after a few minutes of being used.
