But that means the heat comes from high load, meaning that stressing the CPU even after the update will cause the device to get very hot.

The overheating issues shouldn't have happened in the first place, but there is no high-end phone in existence (except maybe some gamer phones with active cooling) that is actually able to sustain high clock speeds without overheating. They all throttle at some point, this might really be just a bug that is fixable via software.

All CPUs throttle at certain temperatures. The question is, at what temperature should the iPhone throttle? And why are some apps behaving in a way that doesn’t end strenuous loads when the phone heats up?

Instagram isn’t an inherently processor intensive app, so it’s not like the strain is coming a result of expected or normal use.
