iPhone 15 - Freezing and Glitching Issue

Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

i just got my IPhone 15 Pro Max and for whatever reason while i’m using my apps my screen would sometimes freeze momentarily or freeze indefinitely. I also have trouble pressing options/buttons located in the corner of the screen in some apps. For example, when watching a video in full screen i would have to press the “back” “skip” or the “<“ options more than 3-4 times for it to register my touch. Another example would be when browsing through shopping apps i would have to keep pressing the “back” or “<“ option/button, usually located in the corner of the screen multiple times or even have to end/close the applications altogether. Not sure if this is an issue with the actual iPhone screen not registering the touch or an IOS 17 issue.

I just traded in my 12 pro max for a 15 pro max. I experienced all that was shared about the hot temperature of the phone. As well as the freezing of the screens in the different apps. I called Apple, and I was told that I had to back up my new phone to my MacBook and wipe out the phone back to factory settings. They did this with me, and it seems to be working better. Sometimes, the apps can cause a problem.

Another Update:::: I just took this screen recording of my phone and I was checking the weather channel as you can see in the video all the distortion going on and what I’m dealing with with this iPhone… I also had an online doctors appointment and the appointment was only halfway completed when I got disconnected from the appointment, thats the first time that has ever happened!!

Ohh my god I can so relate to you. I bought my iphone few weeks ago and I am experiencing the same issues and apple is not doing anything about it. My apps keeps crashing and my phone automatically switch off. It got frozen to touch, while taking the pictures and unresponsive. I am really frustrated with this phone, its giving me hard time.

I bought the phone from vodafone store and they are saying they are unauthorized to exchange the phone. When I call apple they say go to apple store and when I go to apple store they are saying go to vodafone store. This is the worst experience I have experienced so far. I have been using apple from 3,4 years but this time apple did very bad. I am not happy with the product. Its really affecting my work as a content creator. I got no options rather than complaining on fair trade. If anybody facing the same issues and you bought the iphone from vodafone store please help me guys what to do.

I've had the exact same problem as a lot of people have highlighted, but today was particularly weird. My iPhone 15 pro max (which is costing me a fortune), completely froze, I couldn't do a thing, so I've asked SIRI to turn it off. Massive issues with the browser but particularly crazy problems with Apple Music. I've got a lot of memory too so it can't be that.
