iPhone 15 - Freezing and Glitching Issue

I have another comment on this thread, but sharing the exact method I used to get me out of the glitch (lasts over 30 min now). The normal power off method didn’t work for me, so this is what I needed to do instead.

1) Volume up then down

2) then hold lock

ofc we shouldn’t have to do this… but this is what worked for me when I almost threw my phone directly out of the window 🙂

I bought the iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB for my wife. Her previous phone was a Samsung, and sadly, this one is riddled with issues already mentioned on this thread. Freezes randomly and stops responding to touch. The volume up down buttons don't work when using WhatsApp. There are workarounds, such as killing the app and restarting, or rebooting the phone, but I am quite unhappy with having to do all this with what is pretty much the most expensive phone in the market of any kind. I am just glad that it is still within the return period.

As above, I would recommend you make an appointment to have it examined; your phone should never zoom on its own, certainly no iPhone I've ever owned has.

You don't have to wait for your battery if your phone ever gets "stuck":

I have had a 15 Pro Max since launch date and have never experienced any of the issues described in this thread.

Update your iPhone.

Issues stopped after the fixes, many months ago.

poor network coverage is related to your carrier services, not the iPhone.

Take your phone into your local Apple Store to have it examined.

I am facing issue with my iphone 15 pro max, since i updated to iOS 17.0.3 my phone started hanging and just stops responding, i have to force restart it couple of times, i never faced any overheating issue or anything when i got my iphone but since the last update i am facing this issue, is there any solution to it or should i wait for another update for the fix?

Everyone while you register your experience pls tell us what version of IOS and what version of the app that you were using.

Keep all your APPs updated. Some don't like to do that. Those folks are better not buying a phone until 4 months or so after the release.

also, if you’re buying an app in the App Store, check to see the last date or version of IOS it was updated.

This is a complex ecosystem, and not all vendors of third-party apps are as diligent or have the resources to stay totally current.

After my initial frustrations, similar to all of the ones above, I have not had any problems, but then again, I only use mostly the Apple apps plus Instagram and Adobe apps.

I use my 15 PM all day, every day and have never had anything freeze, even once.
