iPhone 14 Pro Max Overheating after iOS 17.0.2 Update

Yes. I've been having a lot of problems with my iPhone 14 Pro Max overheating. It will stop syncing photos, even stop charging. It would be great to hear from Apple as to why this is happening. Often I wonder if cases are part of the problem in that they do not allow heat to escape. The graphics processor is very powerful and draws a lot of power. While I was in Italy outside in 96 degree heat, I often had my iPhone shutdown while taking photos due to overheating. I would remove the case for awhile to let it cool down, but it kept happening.

It’s the update to iOS 17+ if anyone tells you different, they are just regurgitating answers from tech support. I’m sure plenty of people are smart enough to know about battery optimization. If it came down to “settings” not so many people would be having the same issues as there just happens to be an influx of reports of overheating and battery drainage.

@Apple please fix these problems!

Same here, phone gets really warm, sometimes randomly.

I had my phone in my pocket during dinner and literally had to take it out of my pocket and turn it off because it was so hot in my pocket. It wasn't even being used and it was hot enough that I noticed it even while distracted.

My phone is about a year old and is already at 89% battery health. I have determined this is my absolute last iphone (and I've had iphone since the very first model). They don't even give you a standard charging set up when you purchase the phone. Now that they have no innovation they have to nickel and dime people.

My iphone 14 pro max is literally heating up after the latest ios update. This is just frustrating a solution needs to be out and solved. Also the phones stops charging after 80% and heats up so fast that could be felt in hands. This is my first iPhone which I purchased and thought the battery life would be great compared to my Samsung now i am regretting buying it. I would also suggest my friends not to purchase iPhone due to this upcoming issue which can even cost them if phone overheats or the battery life is short.

Hopefully apple fixes these issues asap.

My 14Pro Max after iOS 17.2.1 update decrease performance significaly ,gaming , apps, or just watching the movie after 20mins decrease brightness to like 50% i am 100% shure its Because of the iOS update also i suffer some Stutters when scroling. Apple should increase thermal threshold border a bit with update and let the device heat up to 2-3Celsius more so we can have higher performance for longer and not just cut Down the brightness and frequencies when device is still not so hot, i see my 14 pro Max decrease performance when hit 40c and That is not much . Let it Heat to 45 and after that reduce the performance but give us some time to Enjoy for what we payed .

It is more likely than not that your iPhone(s) will have higher than normal processor usage as the software upgrades complete their background tasks. That will almost certainly lead to reduced battery charge duration and some temperature increase for a day or two. This is completely normal and I expect they will return to normal with cooler running within a short time.

I have been using the iPhone 14 Pro Max for the past 8 months without any problems related to overheating. However, after I upgraded the software to iOS 17, my phone started to overheat and would not charge until it cooled down. Even after upgrading to the latest software version, iOS 17.03, the problem persists.

I usually charge my iPhone 14 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the Apple Duo Charger every day. Before going to bed, I would put both devices on the charger and leave them there for 7 to 8 hours. When I would wake up in the morning, both devices would be fully charged. However, after the latest updates, this is no longer the case.

Please advise on how to resolve this issue.

Couple of observations from my side. I have purchased Iphone 14 Pro 6 months back from US. After recent OS version upgrade heating issue is very frequent and Apple support is asking to disable/modify location, brightness, text, privacy etc etc just to hide the exact issue.

1. Phones having dual e-sim and whenever network is not good, phone heating starts and it drains your batter immediately.
2. If you call someone and call get disconnected and if at the same time call is coming from someone, phone is getting stuck, freeze and heating starts
3. phone is working fine in AC atmosphere and when wifi network is good. but the moment you step out of home and environment conditions plus network condition changes, this phone is incapable to handle such change and absorb heat from the atmosphere like a good conductor metal and start draining your battery.
4. Apple support is providing various justfications and measures to solve this issue , but so far this is the worst experience i had.

Yes I’ve done that multiple times. I took off the instagram app and it cooled down pretty quick. Maybe like a lot of people have been saying, it has a lot to do with how instagram is reacting to iOS 17. I hope it’s just the instagram app cuz I am receiving my iPhone 15 Pro in a couple days.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max over heat and battery drain a lot quicker I notice this since I updated to 17.0.3 can someone advised me the where things is a hardly use my phone was I work most of the day also an error message come up in my setting saying unable to determine if my camera is a genuine apple part it come up when I also update the software

I'm having the same problem with my 14 Pro Max as well. I've NEVER had an overheating issue until the IOS 17.x.x update. Along with battery degredation and usage drains much faster now. I constantly do the hard reset and that helps...for a while. If it helps at all. I also close out all apps as well. Quite frustrating. I've removed my case to charge to see if it continues to overheat. Note, I use wireless charging 99.9% of the time. While it is charging the temperate of the phone is heating up! Ugh. @Apple, wth!! I've been using iphone for years.

I am also facing the same issue post upgrading it to 17.0.2 with my 14 pro max. its also impacting the battery performance. Seems the 15 pro over heating issue fix has resulted this now in 14 pro max. can we really look into this issue.

I’m having the same problem. My phone is HOT to the touch. And it gets hot in less than 10 minutes on the charger. I first thought that the newer 20 watt charging block was the problem. But … It also Happens when using the small Apple charging block or the USB connection on the back of my IMac.

It’s obvious that Apple has a bug and the solutions given out about background apps is bogus. This never happened until the 17 update.

i just got the update 17.1 and its overheating while on my wireless charger; as well as not charging. started at 80, and as it hasn't left the charger its down to 77 in the past hour, without any applications besides messaging being open.

did the standard turn off and on, and it is still hot to the touch.

iphone 14 pro

I have also encountered the overheating situation since the update. I don’t use instagram though… all apps have been updated and is still happening. I keep soft resetting it but it does not help the situation of battery draining. Please help
