iPhone 15 - Freezing and Glitching Issue

I bought my 15 Pro Max on 9.22 and when I Updated to iOS 17.0.3 I started having this exact same issue. This has been the worst launch of an iPhone, with the overheating and now this. I just hope is OS related cause I have done every single troubleshooting possible, I usted to work as tech support agent in Google so I think I know my way around all the options, they even exchanged my device in the Apple Store and I’m still having the same issue. I think this is unacceptable for the top of the line and most expensive unit, and for a company as big as apple. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP

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?

I feel you, same here… I traded in my 12 pro max on this 15 pro max. My 12 was in prefect condition. I like phone on this 15 pro max but didn’t buy it for the phone. I got it for the upgrade features. But if it DON’T WORK what good is it???? E1951

It is hardware fault with some of these phones which only solved once the phone was replaced. I tried almost every solution in this thread and recommended by the customer service executives at Apple. The diagnostic repair was conducted but it still didn't work and I was asked to come the next day, but I persisted. In the meanwhile the phone just kept on glitching. It took too many hit and trials to get the backup of it. Right now I'm on replaced phone and seems like the problem completely gone. Only its running a bit hot is experienced but at least it just stays on. So far so good. Hope Apple acknowledges the hardware bug and quality control issue with some of these devices. Thanks all!

just experienced this on my phone that i’ve had for a little under 2 weeks. it froze for nearly 1 hour with all apps opening to white screens, even the hard restart didn’t register. had to lock, ask siri to turn off my phone & legit hit the turn off button like 10 times before the screen registered.

Experiencing the exact same issues on my iphone 15. Often the corners dont work. If there is an x in the top right i have to hit it multiple times for the phone to register the touch. just today my phone completely froze and started to get warm. The up down power button did the trick but i hope this is resolved with a software update

Mo_Magic,I have used this apple advised tip for clearing bugs- press ‘fast’ up volume then press ‘fast’ down volume let go quick then ‘fast’ press power button hold this in until you see apple logo appear then let go and wait for ph to prompt you then swipe up then you will be asked to punch in passcode. This has cleared up a lot of little problems. Sometimes more than once I do this. There will always be problems with the systems but this has helped me much. Do you have the iOS 17.0.3 update. That is designed to fix problems along with regular clearing the system might be the ticket for you?? Good luck on this it must be hard to handle spending so much and having this to work out. Try the above and add to your tool box.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max that I got a few days ago does the same thing. Video, live or not, freezes. I was about to return my iPhone 11 and checked that out when my 15 froze. The 11 worked just fine without freezing. I’m seriously thinking of keeping my iPhone 11 and returning the iPhone 15 Pro Max until Apple sorts this out.

Me too. I haven’t sent my iPhone 11 in trade yet. It works perfectly. I may keep that and return the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Regarding the display, the AMLCD screens don’t suffer burned in images like OLED screens do. What does it matter if the colors are better if images burn in? Apple has exacerbated this problem with the option of the always on screen. Apple, please get your act together.

No accusations. I don't have inside info.

Agile Framework is all the rage in the IT world. and relies on short sprints of developments and decisions are influenced by business metrics.

So you can be pretty sure that the APP devs are doing the same thing.

So without pouring over code dumps you cant point the finger solely at Apple.

Also the final factor is the end user. Do they keep all their APPs updated? Do they allow the APPs to phone home with user data on crashes etc.

Bugs if they are caught often are “fixed” in the next release in order to make the delivery date.

The idea is sold on being able to deliver enhancements faster to the end user.

It’s also very hard to do what Apple does in supporting older models way longer than the competitors.

That increases the testing efforts and one of the reasons why this ancient Apple user sticks with them. It’s why you can still trade in your older phones.

Hope this helps.

Hello! I have upgraded my iPhone 13 to 15 pro max and you can imagine how many problems I’ve been having with my phone.

it get hot constantly, the pictures are extremely dark and the worst pic ever, grey, dark and the person you can even see because is blurry.

the battery only last for 3 or 4 hours and when I put it to charge, I can use it because it get really hot!!

not sure what I have to do…. But I hate this phone… and it cost a lot of money!!!

My iPhone 15 pro is two weeks old and keeps freezing, the screen turns white when on WhatsApps calls. I was trying to input a calendar entry and when I save it the time scroll was showing as a watermark in the background????

Mine is doing the same. In addition, the volume buttons on the left side do nothing when pressed. They worked at first but the last few days they stopped working. All I’ve done is install updates. I’ve changed nothing.

I got the 15 pro max 1tb. So far.. I’m thoroughly unimpressed. Random lockups, freeze while web searching, constant Bluetooth disconnects, and initially extremely hot. Had I known all this, I believe I would have reconsidered. I have yet to realize any big tech advance.

Ios 17.1 seems to be working for the freeze issue. Last night pre upgradr I experienced the heating issue but I am pretty sure photos / icloud was banging away at the 65k photos and videos in the library still.

i wish we had a monitor for cpu out of the box.
