iPhone 15 overheating

I just got my apple IPhone 15 pro max on the 28th and it gets warm / overheat when I charged or even when I’m not using it. So is anyone having the same problem. Is there a solution? Is Apple doing something about the problem.

There are different kind of people … who loves to solve problems and play with new tech, who prefers something stable that’s working perfectly, and who loves beta software. The first like me change iphone every year it’s an hobby I enjoy myself, people like you shouldn’t preorder but wait a month or so when the main problems are already fixed…and there’s people that love betas and want the OS before it gets released having fun messing up the phone…

A few here kept trying to gaslight and deny other’s reality. And when Apple finally acknowledged the overheat issue, they tried to downplay what they insisted “that everything was fine, the users were using it wrong, useless to speak out your experience in public”.

I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max and realized it was heating up more than normal. I was charging my phone under my pillow when I went to sleep and realized the pillow got heated up like crazy. I returned it today before it caught fire and blowup my home

You are simply wrong. I have two of them. They DON'T overheat. I now know several people with an iPhone 15 Pro. Not one of them is having any heating issues. If they were ALL overheating, why doesn't mine or the people I know NOT overheating? Until you've personally evaluated every unit of the Millions upon Millions of them in users hands, you cannot validate your claim, which is simply, utterly, completely wrong. I get you're not happy. But DON'T make claims you have absolutely NO data to backup.

WTF, people are charging phones under a pillow? Are you running some stress thermal testing or doing dumb things for no reason?

I have 15 Pro and it’s not overheating. There were some instances where the phone was warmer, but nothing to be concerned about.

No handheld hardware device should overheat no matter what app is used or what OS it runs.

Same goes when charging a handheld device

If Apple made a statement it means there is smoke. Where there is smoke there is fire.

If Apple made a statement, it means Apple made a statement and they determined why "some" people, not "all" people were having an issue and how they plan to resolve it. You believe whatever you want to believe. It doesn't matter to me what narrative you choose.

Fine with me, lobsterghost1

I will assume you will agree with what I wrote “No handheld hardware device should overheat no matter what app is used or what OS it runs.

First has to be assessed if that was overheating and for how many and why, any mobile phone can overheat if used beyond their capacity, it’s like for a PC why not running a 3d modeling software on a cheap laptop….

Bug or not in iOS or a faulty app are non-factors. A bug may regress in a future fix, app may not stumble on this bug but another resulting in a likewise heat issue. no hardware is to overheat when stressed on handheld devices.

For all this I returned my iPhone 15 pro and my decision is to wait if they are able to solve the problem without lowering the performance of the chip, but my feeling is they are going to solve the problem in the production of new batches from now on, and unfortunately the affected devices what has been produced so far will remain as it is without much option for improvement. 

I think you have a wrong understanding of software/hardware engineering. Nothing is perfect, while no app should cause hardware overheating, doesn’t mean it can’t. An OS should have a better handle of it. Hopefully Apple will improve OS based on the lessons learned.

That's a noble, but completely uninformed statement. Any battery when pushed hard, will generate heat. As I said before to you, when you create a battery which cannot generate heat when pushed hard, you'll win the Nobel Prize for Engineering. I look forward to you doing just that. Not understanding the science of batteries however, is not an excuse for making assumptive statements, which aren't true.

Don't bother, he/she'd be better off with a less powerful and less sophisticated smartphone in my opinion, usually Oppo and Doro and of course other makes like Nokia..etc are addressed to people that just need a phone to call and run Insta maybe couple of games
