iPhone 15 overheating

When using bluetooth to connect with my mediasystem in the car the iphone 15 pro gets really warm, not comfortable to keep in your pocket.

Also google maps does not connect automatically with carplay with the iphone. Maps needs to be switches on on the iphone to get a location on the car screen.

Same here. And it’s really upsetting. I waited so long for this phone. I wanted to upgrade my old one 6 months ago but I told myself if I waited I could get this one because it’s supposed to be amazing. I’m deeply concerned that I just paid a small fortune for a phone that could double as an electric stove top because it gets sooo hot. I have to keep the brightness down to its minimum and it hardly helps, in the time it took me to write this it’s already almost too hot to handle. I really really hope they fix this issue because otherwise, I’m going to return it and go with Samsung. I’ve been an apple user since smart phones first came out but I can’t justify the price of this phone if it’s not going to operate properly. Sad Face

These phones are getting abnormally HOT. Mine is getting so warm during charging that the display dims. I have been using smartphones since 2010 and have never experienced overheating like I am on this new iPhone 15. There is definitely something going on.

Was using the 15 pro max to make a call and after 30 min it used 1/3 of the battery and was very hot. I hope there is an update to fix this soon.

had the phone go into overheat protection when delivering for uber eats, and talking on the speaker phone and charging at the same time.

iPhone 15 Pro Max has been getting extremely hot while using it normally and especially while charging it. Having to charge it multiple times a day. The phone also arrived with scuff/discolouration-looking issues with it as well, and the silicone case I bought for it is misaligned. Very upset and disappointed in Apple... I called customer support and spoke to several different people (over 1.5 hours) - no one proposed any helpful solution other than to wait until November-ish for a new phone to come in stock... they wanted me to return the only phone I have from them in the interim, even though I run my business off of this phone! What an awful experience....

I also have heating while doing calls on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Hope it will just a software issue.

otherwise the will be a big exchange wave for apple for all the iPhone 15 Pro (Max) models. Let’s cross fingers !

I’m giving it a few days now as well but also visiting the apple store tomorrow.

All of us still have a 14 day return policy and with this much press, apple will surely come out with a statement or fix it. I’m probably giving them too much credit. My surface temperature right now is above 100 degrees after surfing and charging for a few minutes.

My iPhone 15 Pro stops charging when connected to CarPlay. It’s uncomfortable to hold when texting and listening to music. When it gets this hot, I can watch the battery life % drop each minute. I upgraded from 13 Pro because of poor battery life. Then to 14 Pro in hopes of an improvement. Now the 15 Pro is the worst of them all. Why is Apple making their new worse than their old ones?

Same here. Got it at day one and was burning hot during restore at the point charging was suspended until it cooled off.

Now running pretty warm EXCEPT during calls. If more that 10 minutes it gets very hot 🔥. A call of approx 1 hr depleted my battery from 50% to 18% 😱😱

I’m having the same problem. Phone is getting really hot. I’m not using a case and notice it right away when using the camera. Was outside testing out the camera for about 10 min in 20 Celsius weather and it was uncomfortably hot in hand and in pocket. Seriously considering returning my phone. This is not a problem I’m ok with in a phone at this price point.

My iPhone 15 Pro's battery is going haywire! There's no background stuff happening, and it's not getting too hot, but the battery's still dropping like crazy even when I'm not using it. Left it at 89% last night and woke up to a 78% this morning. I didn't even set an alarm to snoop on what's causing this, but in just 7 hours of chill time, it lost a bunch without me even touching it. What's up with that? Also, it's not getting as hot while charging anymore.

Well, this was NOT fun to hear and read.

I live in Sweden and have ordered a new iPhone 15 Pro Max that should come around October 18. But after everything I read and saw on YouTube about this overheating issues, I think I will not buy it, at least not until we know if it´s a software issues that Apple can fix, or if it´s a hardware issue that can´t be fixed. Then it´s better to keep my 14 Pro Max, that phone never gets hot for me!

Neither for me!

I did restore from backup and my 15 Pro specially during call is burning hot and therefore the battery drops.

Before returning the iPhone to Apple I was thinking to do a clean install to see if the problem is still there.

Anybody started from scratch and still has the overheating?

Thanks for answers, helpful indeed!

It´s VERY scary to buy one now. The phone hasn´t started to burn like Samsung did, but it´s dangerous close.

My 14 Pro Max never get anywhere close to hot if I´m not in the sun!

It´s odd that a factory reset would help you gigimotown, but glad it did for you!

I do hope that Apple read threads like this and also knows about it. VERY odd that they didn´t find out during the manufacturing process...

Anyway, I keep my 14 Pro Max and hold the 15 back a while, at least until I hear any news from Apple about this.

Have your phone issues resolved yet ? I also got the iPhone 15 Pro and it’s been a nightmare. Overheating , not receiving iMessages and text messages, indexing won’t finish etc. I agree with you, I’ll give it until the end of the week and if it’s not resolved I am returning the phone as well.
