iPhone 15 overheating

People relax!

the over heating problem has gone away on my apple 15.

I noticed it only happened for the first two months

expensive hand warmer !!

apple definitely needs to take care his customers

especially because most of us are buying a new phone every two years!

Yeah me too the 2nd day of getting the new phones from Apple Store . Was heating up without using it . I think there is something wrong . The phones not acting correctly. Glitches . It takes kinda some time to respond .

Except it’s continuing to happen weeks after I did my phone switch. You might be right that folks don’t post updates when an issue is resolved but the continued comments on this thread long after people swap phones and apple released the software update “fix” should tell you it is not as simple as your reductive summation.

This is from Sept 24 - can you give an update?

My iPhone 15 Pro Max overheated from the get go, then calmed down, and now it works perfectly.

Advice to all: Update the software and wait 2 weeks until all the things it wants to do at setup are done.

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.

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.

That works too. I also noticed that when the iPhone was completely turned off it did not overheat or drain the battery as much. It is definitely a bonus versus all other phones that do not overheat to begin with. Also we have winter here so a pocket or palm warmer is an asset as a normal phone actually turns off in -10C in just minutes. I returned mine and am enjoying my older one with a new battery.

The battery drain was too much for a new iPhone 15 Pro. I returned mine and that resolved the issue. At some point I was averaging 1-2 % drop just grabbing the phone and opening safari. No other Uber instagram Facebook I do not have them as apps. Email was not set. 15 min browsing I had lost 22% reserve. Mild warm feeing if plugging it in. Definitely very different than the family’s 15 iPhone non Pro.

bring it in to the Genius Bar and have it tested there. But note that for all my iPhones going back 10+ years I patented and used cases with holes to enable battery cooling and that always worked for me. Most cases contribute to overheating as the polycarbonate traps the infrared. But if you feel it unusually hot, book an appointment and they can plug it and test it on the spot. I would also test with a clean, non back up image.

Also check for certain apps navigation gps , if any Facebook etc . Some apps can be resource intensive. Some apps worked on a previous platform but not another. Why not try a clean no app install, 24 hours then a careful backup ?

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.

I believe this is preparation for a whole new product line of cases that advertise to make $$ off of. Maybe some kind of USB cooling pod/dock? I just got mine today and it's on fire. I'll see how it goes after 1 week.

There's nothing to fix. Apple specifically suggests that when you get a new iPhone, for the first few days it will run warmer than you might expect. It takes a few days for the phone to index the millions of bytes of data on a new iPhone. And if you are also using to do other tasks while it's indexing, it will definitely run warm to hot. After a couple days, it will settle down as expected.
