Apple may have eliminated \u201cbendgate,\u201d but does its new iPhone 6s have an overheating issue? Some users report that their handsets are getting too warm during use \u2014 so much so that the device will not allow the LED flash to activate when taking pictures.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlash is disabled,\u201d reads the popup seen by some early adopters. \u201cThe iPhone needs to cool down before you can use the flash.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new A9 processor inside the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, which make them the fastest iPhones to date by a mile, runs hotter than last year\u2019s A8 chip, according to reports. While the average temperate of iPhone 6 was 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the iPhone 6s runs up to 102 degrees.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear what\u2019s causing this right now, so it\u2019s difficult to tell how easy it will be for Apple to fix it. But it certainly doesn\u2019t appear to be a widespread issue, with only a small number of people reporting this issue since the iPhone 6s made its debut on Friday.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Apple will likely be monitoring this situation closely now that it\u2019s out in the open, and looking at ways in which it can prevent iPhones from becoming too hot. In the meantime, there\u2019s probably little to worry\u00a0about unless you\u2019re seeing this error on a frequent basis.<\/p>\n
