iPhone 15 overheating

I also purchased one in late Oct and exchanged it the next day for another iPhone 15 because it overheated while it was charging, thinking that it must just a faulty battery. But this other one has been also getting pretty warm to hot over the past two months especially when being charged. It's more than likely that there's faulty wiring in these new IPHONE model.

There is no evidence of any throttling or reducing performance. A few years ago a group including ArsTechnica myself etc engaged Apple and Mr Cook agreed to the battery issue and full universal free swap for a year I think. Back then we had a clear code evidence of throttling. In the present situation the 15 processors work as intended. Also a reminder that a more efficient cooling frame will be warmer as it evacuates more heat. The hardware in the 15 Pro is extraordinary in terms of performance and a 120 Hz screen . If indeed the phone was overheating versus design you would have clear rapid battery health issue with the State of Health and State of Charge. Also anyone loving an in-line 6 S M Performance BMW knows that it is way hotter than an inline 4 but as intended. So unless noticing major battery health issues, sudden shutdowns, erratic behavior and freezing, the hardware performs as intended.

Yes my iPhone 15 pro less than two months old overheated today after I put it in my cars wireless charging pad it only was on there about 15 min and it gave me the overheating message

What was the specific message? Did it say it was going to stop charging until the battery cooled? If so, that does not mean the phone was overheating. It just means that optimized battery charging was letting you know it was doing its job.

If, on the other hand, the phone said that it was going to shut down, that means it was overheating.

Hey, I started using 15 pro 2 weeks back. It heats up while charging from the first time.

All rechargeable batteries heat up while charging. Are you charging in on a hard, well ventilated surface? Is it getting too hot to hold? Is it giving you a warning message telling you it's going to shut down?

My iPhone 15 Pro heated first time up big time this afternoon. I unhooked it, thinking it was being overcharged and got hot. I closed some apps and continued to use it. The battery got low, so I put it on a magnet charger for a couple of minutes. It cooled down.

WHAT THE HECK is wrong with these brand new iPhones???

I just got the IPhone 15 Pro today and it’s so hot i can’t even hold it for very long! Hope they resolve this.

This has been happening to me too and I just got the phone. I realized quickly that it was hotter than my previous phone.

I got the iPhone 15 pro as well and it’s overheating when I’m on a phone call for like 8-10 minutes.

I just looked in my Accessibility settings and VoiceOver is already turned off, so it's not that for me. :/

Was taking pictures and it keeps shutting down due to over heating.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max heats up way more than my previous iPhones .

I’m thinking there’s a defect , I’ll keep an eye on the news.

The same problem here with my 15 Pro. Don’t know what to do ? Any suggestion please?

I have the same. I thought maybe it is ios17 but seeing more people experience this its concerning. I paid almost €1600… battery goes very fast as well considering it being 2 days old

I’m having the same issue when taking photos—message appearing is telling me the iPhone needs to cool down before using!?!

In addition is anyone else experiencing fast battery drainage?
