iPhone 15 hot when charging

Hi everyone


Iphone 15 gets quite warm while charging with apple 20W adapter, on the left side it is difficult to even touch, as soon as it reaches ~75% battery level, it starts cooling down and this problem is not observed after 75% charging (even at 90 or 100%), only till 70-75% phone gets heated.


Did anyone observe the same? software is updated.

I noticed my Iphone 15 overheating when using a USB-C / USB-C cable. I could charge my phone from 1 to 100% in about 90 minutes. However it got very warm, especially early in the charging cycle. That kind of heat can't be good for the battery over time. So, I tried charging with a USB-A / USB-C cable and charged my phone from starting near 0%. No over heating, but much slow charge cycle (about 4 hours to fully charge). That's not a big deal for me since I usually charge my phone over night or plug it in when sitting at my work desk. I'm just thrilled that my phone is no longer heating up while charging (and hopefully the phone battery will thank me by lasting longer).

Same thing. Using cmf charger. What I have observed is if it's idle and not in use it doesn't heats up much. But most times like 90% the side on left is hot. Like you can feel the burn when handheld to check for a few seconds max. Is this normal apple. Everyone is facing the same issue. Kindly update dilegently and if this requires update or replacement?


Not only worried about the longetivity because charging is minimum twice per day or so. But also about the user experience. Can't use a phone worth a price for long with such issue.


Kindly escalate this as a complaint.

Thanks.

Hi, I am facing issue while keeping iphone 15 on charge, its getting hot however, battery reaches above 85% I am getting warning that the charging is on hold once the iphone is on normal temperature the charging will be resumed. Today I faced the issue when the battery was 87% and yesterday when the battery was 96%. OS is updated still its happening, what's the solution.

The Service centre at Khar, Mumbai- India just did my phone formatting and updated software but the heating issue while charging is persist. They even kept my phone for 1 wholday under observation and returned saying there is no heating problem. But from the time I have phone back (past 3days) the heating issue is still there. @iphone community pls suggest how to resolve it?

my I phone has the same heating issue.

although I haven’t checked exact % where heating is more,still I can say that it can’t be normal.

while charging with a 20w fast charger the phone heats up to such level that I can’t take it near my ears to talk.

apple must do something about it as it may severely effect the sensitive parts like motherboard and cpu including the battery.
