iPhone 15 overheating

In my visits to the Apple Store I have not once seen an overheated iPhone in spite of the fact that the stores were full of people trying them out.

All I’m reading are speculative posts by some early adopters and many chiming in with their thoughts and ideas of what could or could not be the issue.

I will keep and use the iPhone 15 Pro when I receive it with the AppleCare+ cover.

I am sure Apple is a reputable company and will do what’s right and address this.

This is an expensive phone that Apple has promoted has a lot of power. The thing can run PS4 quality games and I don’t see where the ventilation is for the heat. So if there’s a problem with the design, and it will take a software update to fix, which may mean Apple will have to adjust the power used, then it wouldn’t be quite the phone they advertised. So I will wait because I’m not buying something if the solution is to limit capabilities of the device. I’ll just get the 14 instead or wait for the 16.

How is this acceptable support? Referring us to help forums that we’ve already tried is not helpful. Apple needs to do something on its end. I’m not that loyal to their products so chop chop or get the chop apple and lose your core (base). Not going to thank you yet when you’ve done nothing.

Yes, they're generally not spreading click-bait. And, it could be a combination of things, which is always aggravating to trouble-shoot. Could be a subset of the models have an issue that's triggered by an app, could be demonic possession.

Well, I'm a good boy, and most definitely not possessed, nor is my new iPhone 15 Pro Max.

So you claim...... But, if you were possessed, would you admit it? Especially in a public forum? ;-)

I guess I wouldn't........Buahahahahahaha!



15 Pro 256GB owner here. I experienced the same overheating issues within the first 3 days of my purchase, but now it's pretty good. I tested it by playing Call of Duty and Genshin Impact for a total of one hour and didn't notice any overheating problems. Other apps like Instagram, Safari and Camera works well too. However, I'm still worried and following this thread for the latest news.

I have iPhone 15 pro & it is overheating while on video call for 10 minutes, front & back both overheating..

Getting warm and "overheating" are not the same. An iPhone which overheats puts a message on the screen saying you can't use it until it cools off. If you're not seeing such a message, your phone may be warm, but it is NOT overheating.

That's a good thought, but currently there is no notification that indexing is complete. And for the most part, it doesn't matter much. Unless people are pushing their new toy really hard when they first get it, while its doing its thing.

So if I understand you correctly, this is no longer going to be an issue after the phone is completed with its initial indexing? Just wanna make sure because you sound like you know what you’re talking about.

Please stop posting these comments telling everyone that nothing is wrong. You cannot be certain that all of these comments are not due to something serious occurring within the phone. I do know that titanium retains heat much better than steel or aluminum so I wonder if that titanium outer shell is trapping more heat than it should?

I wish i was not adding a comment but that is exactly why I came here to find out if I was alone. At this point I am going to get phone insurance. First it was difficulty in transferring data, now its heating… who knows what next!

Everyone is complaining of this very same issue. It's very common for this iPhone. Best thing to do limit your time with using the phone and use the essential apps until Apple releases an iOS update or statement on this issue.

"Everyone" is not complaining. I'm not complaining and I'm someone. And there are now literally millions of iPhone 15 model phones in the hands of people all over the world. The posters in this thread are actually statistically insignificant in relation to the number of people with an iPhone 15. You also say its very common. I now know multiple people who own an iPhone 15. Not one of them is having heating issues. So no, "everyone" is not complaining.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max is overheating more than any device I’ve ever experienced. It’s reached a point where I’ve become seriously concerned about this products ability to remain free of permanent damage.

As for those who commented that it’s not really overheating we just aren’t understanding, the screen is also dimming when it overheats which, if I recall correctly, is an indicator that a safety feature is in progress in response to overheating. A procedure that was implemented several years ago when there were reports/concerns of iphone batteries exploding. This procedure reduces unnecessary power output in an attempt to cool the phone down before permanent damage occurs, hence the dimming of the screen. So no, not me misunderstanding.

I also fear that any software changes to correct this overheating problem will reverse what small amount of improvements we were able to obtain by upgrading from the A16 to the A17 chip. In essence I will have upgraded my 14 pro max to pay for what will essentially become a 14 pro max that overheats. Way to waste $2200 ($600 paid on 14pm and $1600 for 15pm)

I’m now locked into a “contract” for the next 36 months with Verizon on this 15pm which means I won’t be able to upgrade when the next iPhone comes out now. Who knew the unprecedented would happen and I’d be stuck with a dud!? I wish now I would’ve just kept my 14 pro max!

please for all those who want to be the apple advocates doubting what millions are going through. You can do that outside this community where all the Samsung users are waiting to troll! The phones are overheating and the least you can do is downplay that!
