Reports that Apple is releasing an update to fix the problem have been circulating the internet for days.
And now, users plagued by overheating smartphones can finally find some relief.
The new iOS 17 update too contains bug fixes and security updates.
Moments after Apple pushed the software update, YouTuber zollotech shared a demonstration video to test it.
He took temperatures from an iPhone 15 Pro before downloading the new software, showing 100 degrees on the front and back.
However, with the new software, the smartphone reached 107 degrees at the front and 105 degrees at the back.
He said that the smartphone did not feel excessively warm after the updated iOS was installed.
“It doesn’t feel warm in my hand, and it cools down very quickly… We’ll have to give it a few days to see if this fixes the issues people are having,” the YouTuber said in the video.

Tech experts believed the problem was related to the iPhone 15’s new processor or the titanium casing that houses the high-end iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
An Apple spokesperson told DailyMail.com that users may notice that their iPhone 15 Pro feels warmer when they set it up, restore it from a backup, charge it wirelessly, or use graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps.
The tech giant has said that a bug and other issues such as using popular apps like Instagram and Uber caused the newly released model of the iPhone to heat up.
Instagram released an updated version of its app on September 26 that claims to fix the overheating issue.
Users shared their frustration with using the Instagram app on their iPhone 15 Pro for just a few minutes and found it becoming incredibly popular.
Uber and other applications, such as the Asphalt 9 video game, are still rolling out their updates.
