   I have amended my answer to what Apple will do.   
      
   First they will blame the "small" amount of customers who are having   
   this overheating problem for their configuration of the phone and the   
   incorrect way it's being used/charged.  Next they will provide a   
   software fix which will throttle the CPU during those excessive heat   
   cycles, claiming it's for the customer's own protection.  In the   
   meantime they will furiously redesign the iPhone 16 at great cost to   
   the final product.   
      
   Obviously they can't make any hardware design changes to the iPhone 15,   
   and providing the customers with a new phone will not make any   
   difference if they continue using it the same way.  The fix has to be   
   something other than hardware changes.
