iPhone 15 overheating

Mine is heating up just listening to music

Streaming music, watching video, playing a game, all cause the battery to work harder and when a battery works harder it generates heat. It's normal.

Took my brand new 15+ max exactly 1 hour to overheat. I got a warning that it would no longer charge or display the map until it cooled down. Very disappointed. this is not software. This is a fundamental design flaw.

In my case, they have documented in the log files that iPhone is heating up now they want me to do another experiment that I will sign out of my iCloud and just use the phone as a dummy and report again if the phone is still heating up. After paying them almost close to $1500 I am working as a guinea pig for Apple which I find is pathetic.

I just upgraded 4 phones in our family to Apple 15 Pro-max. When I charge it using a wall power socket the phone gets very hot and the i-phone turns the charging off, so it never gets to full charge but only about 75/80%. There is certainly a BIG problem with charging/power management, hardware or software both. Apple is playing a deceitful game here by not acknowledging the problem and acting as if all were fine. This problem must be addressed by Apple because denial or lies or blaming customer will not solve it. The problem is less severe when charging from a laptop socket. I did not have any such issue when charging my prior i-phone.

Are the iPhones on display at the Apple Store "indexing all the new data?" They're in demo mode. I just went to the Apple Store near me to buy a new 15 Pro Max. I held every 15 Pro Max on display. They were all very hot. Sadly, I did not buy one. I really wanted to but not until they fix the issue. Please correct me if any of my assumptions are incorrect. Thank you.

This is honestly the most odd thing i have heard about optimised battery charging today :/

If you have used Apple products, you would know OBC has a separate notification, and this is coming for me even when OBC is off :(

Even when OBC is off, your phone stops charging, but instead of at 80%, it's at 100%. It then lets the battery cool and drain slightly. Again, that warning does not mean your phone is overheating. If your phone was overheating, you'd get a big error message on the screen telling you it was overheating and shutting down.

This new iphone 15 promax is hot while it charges. Only iphone we possess that this has occurred with...But it charges relatively quickly and has not shut down as yet.

That would make sense, especially if you are fast charging the phone. The faster you feed power to a battery, the warmer it gets. It's physics.

Has there been a specific response from Apple about this?

Apple's participation in these forums is minimal and largely focused on ensuring everyone sticks to the rules. If you want to discuss the matter with Apple, use the Support link at the bottom left of every page of these forums.

Mine is overheating too (very warm even when ‘at rest’ sometimes, hot to touch after using it on phone calls or other for a few minutes, in normal ambient temperature).

Battery also runs out fast. Brand new iPhone 15Pro.

My Overheating issue is back and my Amazon Music app is again crashing within a minute because of the overheating or the app is still not optimized?

When you say the phone is "overheating", do you mean that you get the warning on the screen that the phone is too hot and it's going to shut down? Or do you mean something else. If you mean something else, please be specific about what is happening, what error messages you're seeing and how you are diagnosing this as overheating.

Does the phone overheat if you delete the Amazon Music app?

You aren't writing anyone from Apple on this user to user only forum. But it's quite normal for an iPhone to get warm when charging. Anytime you charge a battery thermal dynamics of batteries naturally get warm. So this is normal and nothing to fix.

"after 1 or 2 weeks their iPhone has finally downloaded these 60,000 pictures from iCloud and it’s now smooth and cool as it should be"

It is not. I still get overheat randomly (or not, but I don't know the cause). I don't even play games on iPhone.

titanium not only being the cost of light weight for the phone but also the heat will be less insolated meaning you will most likely feel it harder then normal id just put a case and call it a day as long as im not getting a warning saying its to hot ill be fine.

Got mine this months, overheated when setting up then warm at times. But the battery drain is stunning. Worse than my 2020 SE with 85% health! Each time I grab it drops 2 percent. No instagram no Uber no Facebook. Also people cannot seriously believe that just because it is titanium it should get warmer ot it can handle it. Any heat in any electronic phone, above 25C is bad for the electronics and especially the lithium ion battery. Heat kills batteries to begin with.

Dear Apple, I am having the exact same problem like others. My phone 15 pro is getting over heated while using. Even though I don’t have any heavy use my phone is heating. Please fix
