iPhone 15 overheating

It still does not explain , why phone getting heated even when not being used and no apps running. That cannot be iphone functioning as intended. I do not expect the iphone reaching a 115 F temp when i am in a call or browsing internet, cannot be intended functionality, none of the prior model had this issue. The first step of solving the problem is acknowledging the issue, so pls acknowledge their is a over heating issue and provide a fix, we cannot have customers paying 1700 USD for a device and it having heating issues..

Apple is not reading here and is not going to "acknowledge" anything here.

My brand new iPhone 15 pro max overheats in less than 2 minutes when I try to play Amazon music via a Bluetooth speaker, but it’s absolutely fine when I do the same with YouTube music. Could it be that the Amazon music and or its bluetooth drivers are not optimized for apple? How do I resolve this? It crashes the app and makes the phone super hot!

Be careful, I picked up a display model iPhone pro max at the Apple Store and burned my fingers today! 11/27/24 not resolved.

Display units in an Apple Store are on a charger 24 hours a day and used hard throughout the day by hundreds of customers in the store. This is not even close to how a Pro Max would be used by an individual.

I have owned iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, since the day they were launched and have had absolutely, positively, No, None, Zip heating issues on either iPhone.

I do hope your doctor can provide some medicine to heal your burned fingers. I've heard the Aloe Plant produces a sticky substance, which can be very effective in helping burns heal faster.

What you experienced in no way demonstrates that the overheating issues which were fixed more than a month ago, with iOS 17.0.3 haven't solved the problem for those who may have had issues. I never had any issues. And no one I know had any heating issues either on a 15 model iPhone.

Ok, interesting point, possibly the store had not updated the display models. That needs to be followed up on for the safety of others. On this community, trying to find out how to follow up with a store manager, so it gets resolved and found that.

Having been responsible for the display models in a cell phone store for years, I can tell you that lobsterghost1 is correct. You are not seeing a normal phone under normal conditions. They are plugged in constantly and they are also running software constantly. The screens never lock. I never had a problem with iPhones wearing out but did have an ongoing issue with Samsung tables on display regularly needing to be replaced.

There are many reasons of overheating. It may be due to opening multiple chrome tabs like 100+, the other reasons is charging the mobile thorugh non stable electricity. Someone recommend me a solar system which provide 100% stable power i think I read about that company on this website https://calowatt.com/. You can also check and resolve your problem.

That’s not great advice. Most people here are expressing that this is happening multiple times not just within the two days of getting a new phone and transferring a bunch of data. An $1,100.00 dollar device should not be randomly spiking in temperature with a month of purchase.

Same issues. Just recording a short video gets it almost too hot to touch. Even just texting and scrolling. Ridiculous that a $1200 phone has these issues. I’ll be returning this expensive hand warmer. Get it together apple.

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.

Brand new IPhone 15 Pro, December 2023. Never had such a hot phone except when my SE was heavily used with gps. This one is hot and I am not even using it. I have to take it back, as it was 2000$ including apple care.

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.
