Apple killed my iPhone Xs with iOS 15.5 (battery drain, overheating, camera low quality)

Just updated Xs from 13.6.1 to 15.5

What I received: overheating every 5 minutes of simple using, battery life -30% lower, camera pics and videos became blurry, autofocus is not working good.

Why did you start killing devices so clearly and brazenly?????????

Please people never update your Apple devices

iPhone XS, iOS 15

iOS 18.2 destroying my phone My iPhone 14 Pro was so mint before iOS 18, I was under the impression that iOS 18.2 was meant to fix all the issues but my phone is still freezing in safari, and getting so hot for no reason and I’m worried it’s going to explode. And I’m still charging my battery 3 times a day. Which was never an issue before the update, I could spend absolutely all day on my phone no problems. When are you going to do a recall and replace everyone’s phones that you have destroyed??? I haven’t even paid my phone off yet

18.3 killed my phone This is the third phone these updated have destroyed in as many years. Battery issues on them all to the point they need to be plugged in continuously. Sporadic and glitchy function, freezes, drop screen content, reverse/negative pictures, auto rotate nonfunctional, can’t send txt, loss of sound, became slow and did a lot of buffering. And yes I have check and rechecked my settings!!! My FRUSTRATION level is Maxed out. I had to switch to an iPhone to be able to control medical equipment because Android wasn’t able too, as I tried it but did it poorly. So I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place… Make your updates to function properly and put some time in it and do it right instead of update after update that are buggy and another update is needed to correct the update.

New iPhone 16 pro max issues I recently purchased a new 16 pro max and am having all the issue I see on-line. Over heating to the point of concern and warning message, black screen when trying to use camera to the point you can't see the image or controls, battery life while told it was to be much better than my previous phone is 1/2 of what life was with my 13 pro. Try and use your fingers to manage camera screen zoom and it starts taking a video. This phone is really a POS and I should of kept my 13 pro max. I recently missed such beautiful picture opportunities while on a trip because of the camera problems. Has anyone had success with a meeting with the genus bar at an apple store to get problems fixed. OR were you just blown off and told it's all in your mind and user error? Oh yes i have the current updates 18.3.1 thank you

Hello Trevi2412,

After reviewing your post, it seems like the iPhone is getting hot. You can also use the second article to manage the battery usage on the iPhone.

Do you receive a warning message that the iPhone is too hot?
