iPhone 14 Pro Max Overheating after iOS 17.0.2 Update

I think I may have found a solution. I decided to shut off the Background App Refresh which is located under the General tab, and down eight lines. After I did this, I plugged in my iPhone with the an Apple charger that came with my iPhone 14 Pro, and my iPhone stayed cool throughout the entire charging time.

I thought it was an isolated case with my iPhone running on IOS 17.1 getting very hot during charging, until I ran into this forum of people experiencing the same. I am also very unhappy that the my battery that I had replaced last year by Apple, is now down to 92% on battery health. The iPhone is losing its credibility each and every day with me, so much so, that I may soon go over to an Android.

I am having the same issue! My phone never overheated until 17.0.3! I am really unhappy, I hope Apple can find the solution! I turned off instagram right now and it seems to be helping. This is getting out of hand though.

Im having the same issue too! My phone is heating up so fast as I am unable to do video calls with my love ones on messenger. Previous IOS version doesn’t have issue at all until IOS 17. From 99% percent battery health it is now down to 94% in just two weeks! I already did the tips and tricks on how to take care battery that I watch on YT and still nothing happened. Maybe this is kinda a bug or something. I hope someone in Apple can read this forum.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max has been heating up and losing its charge quickly. This is happening since the iOS 17.0.2 update.

Apple…please fix this before it does something to my very expensive phone! 😡

my phone 15PM overheats until battery drops down below 30%, then it cools a little bit. I have tried reset, updated to iOS 17.0.3, disabled background refresh app,voice over, always on display, i have my battery optimized and i have a screen time of 5 hours average. battery lasts half or a day. I dont know what to do

I've had the iphone 14 for about 10 months now and it gets so hot with normal use. I wake up at 7:30, use my alarm clock, and apple music otw to work and my battery is at 64% by 9:30am. I turned off automatic IOS updates, updated all my apps, and I restart my phone almost twice a day because of the glitches I experience. I don't know what else to do! There needs to be some sort of support from Apple because this phone was way too expensive!!!

After overheating problem I recharged via the cable instead of the induction unit and it appears to have corrected the problem.

I finally had to reset my phone and treat as a new phone. That did the trick. The heating has stopped and battery not draining is not as significant. Battery health still 90% but working much better!

Of course this was the one year that I didn’t upgrade to the new iPhone….

I am very much disappointed about my device. A premium phone worth rs 139900 is performing very awful. A-lot of bucks a faced, now the major issue is over heating, especially after ios 17.0.3 update. We can adjust if gets warmer when we playing heavy games or using camera for a while in hot exterior climates, but now it gets more warmer when its in a mild use. People should come forward against the cheap quality apple gives on their products now. Spending lakhs on a phone and get worried every minutes you using.

I have this and hate it too. I played around with various apps, settings, and so far have found that shutting off wifi on the iphone entirely helps massively. Am terribly annoyed, but my phone heats up to the point I can’t hold it

I can’t say for sure that this helps everyone else, but I have been having the overheating issue and premature battery drain for a while now.

It’s been getting so hot that I try to charge for about 30 minutes at a time and then unplug the cable to let my phone cool off.

Well, I just tried something new. I turned off the BLUETOOTH IN MY SETTINGS. I reconnected the charging cable and instantly my phone has stopped getting hot.

This obviously isn’t a long term fix because something is obviously wrong for the Bluetooth to affect the phone heating up. But at least it’s not heating up while charging.

That’s quite interesting you should have a look at the thread iphone 15 overheating the one with more posts. I’d suggest you to check your apps to see if they have an update, and hard restart it maybe
