iPhone 15 overheating

Hi everyone. I’ve recently purchased the new iPhone 15 pro max and it is heating up even when I’m not using it.

I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if it maybe a setting that is causing it that I can turn off?

Any advice is appreciated. :)

This metod does not help me at all, i’m still experiencing very hot phone around chip position especially during phone call, after 5-10 minutes on call via mobile service provider phone gets abnormally hot (Phone was not plugged on charging ). I’ve also tried phone call via facebook and instagram and got the same problem, phone gets abnormally hot around chip, can not even hold it in my hands.

I tried everything even factory reset with fresh installation without backup.

Do you prefer contacting apple service or just wait till next update?

It’s heating up!


Natural Titanium 15 Pro Max here 48hrs out of the box. The back of the unit felt hot after periods of non use and even hotter during everyday use (email/web/text). Took the dogs to the river today and my wife was capturing some video and remarked that the unit was too hot to hold after shooting three thirty second clips THEN the camera app alerted her that the phone was too hot and needed to cool down.

Telling Apple to fix anything here is about as useful as shouting in the wind. This is a user to user only forum. You are not addressing anyone at Apple. You or anyone in this thread who is concerned about your phones, should schedule an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and let Apple run diagnostics.


We've had our iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max since Friday and they operating flawlessly. Sure they were a tad warm during the setup and after while indexing all the data, but they are now working great.
