This makes sense. From specific games doing this on an Xbox or PlayStation to an app on an iMac hogging up all the CPU. Glad it’s an easy fix. It’s possible Instagram or the other apps only started doing this after the updates so it couldn’t be caught earlier.

Apple Says iPhone 15 Pro's Titanium Frame Does Not Contribute to Overheating Issue

Apple uses the alloy Ti-6Al-4V (ASTM Grade 5) which is about 6.7 W/m K
That’s what Apple says, do you have a shred of evidence otherwise?
…what? Apple doesn’t want to allow side loading because of privacy and security issues, not because bugs exist and sometimes performance isn’t optimized. AFAIK there are no requirements that apps in the Store run perfectly under all conditions, nor is that a realistic expectation.
Titanium has poor heat conductivity I believe, so did Apple used their $$$$ to create a new kind of Titanium alloy that is not like this?
I believe if Apple made the iPhone 15 Pro Max out of Aluminium, the phones would be less likely to overheat.

No, it was stainless steel inside out
No, the 14 Pro was machined from a block of stainless steel, with the components attached to the back. With the 15 Pro, Apple rearchitected the entire device to have an aluminum midframe fused to the titanium rail.
Classic Apple defending themselves again of course it’s a hardware issue and titanium is that issue
Should clarify that higher numbers are better here 😅
You can't test all real world usage scenarios ahead time. And often times, developers (for whatever reason) are late getting OS updates pushed.
Do you have proof it is a hardware problem, or you just complaining to complain?
Every day, perhaps a few times per day, I go through and close all the apps on my phone. No overheating issues yet. It got a little warmer when I was setting up the iPhone 15, but no issues since then. I don't know why I have to close the apps myself, they should just close themselves after non-use for a certain amount of time, but if that's what I have to do..... It's a great phone and nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, is ever going to be perfect. That's life!
Apple put out some document a couple years ago where they touted how great their app review was and how you wouldn't get that with side loading or 3rd party app stores. Not so great now, when they're approving "high quality" apps that cause your device to heat up to the point where it could almost burn your skin.
The reality is, if this were happening with a 3rd party app store or side loaded apps, the response would be the same. The developers would be doing what they're doing right now, working to fix their issues.
This will be greatly disappointing to all of the drama queens that were foaming at the mouth over all of this.
I asked a question. I didn't defend Apple in my post to you. I will ask again, do you have proof the heat problems many people have been having is directly caused by the hardware of the phone?
iOS has shown heat problems on older hardware too. My 14P gets hot anytime the camera is turned on. And really hot if it's on a long time. (like when the camera is turn on inadvertently when I put my phone in a pocket, which happens at least a couple times a month.)
Remember when Apps had to run on the latest SDK by date X? What happened to that?
Maybe they didn't know the meaning of 'dissipation' and thought it meant something like 'accumulation'?
You don’t have to manually close apps. iOS automatically closes them when it determines the app no longer needs to be open. Having the apps show up on screen when you swipe up doesn’t mean they’re open and running. There’s no benefit to closing them manually.
Exactly.
Titanium layer is quite small (~1mm). But their fusing result is quite masterpiece of engineering.

Better at dissipating heat at a focused area into your hand.
There is a small rim of titanium around this phone. The vast majority of the external surface area is glass and on the inside it sounds like most internal components are next to aluminum not titanium.
There was never any plausible way that the switch to titanium was significantly impacting the thermals of this phone.
