Anyone else experiencing overheating for iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro after iOS 17 update?


the two phones are overheating and battery health is degrading very fast after updating to iOS 17!


I even updated the latest to 17.0.2 hopefully any bugs would be fixed but still facing the same issue!

Possible solution: I shut off background app refresh, didn’t change anything. However, I noticed that the overheating and battery drain seemed to occur when I’m watching videos on the YouTube app. So, I uninstalled YouTube, shut the phone off, turned back on, then reinstalled YouTube app. The phone has stopped overheating and the battery usage has returned to normal, even while watching videos. I hope this helps others with the same issue. I was bumming thinking I was going to have to get a new phone.

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.

Today the battery health on my device dropped from 95% to 93% suddenly 2% in a few hours of usage , which is not normal at all, I don't want to think that apple is purposefully reducing the battery capacity of the devices, the device is charged exclusively with a wired 5 Watt charger mostly while sleeping overnight. losing 3% battery in 3 weeks is not normal at all and especially 2% during today's day.

How do you explain this situation and do you have a solution?

i feel sad buying this phone that it’s with a glitch that am automatically thrown out when running apps, like browsing safari am out to home just like that, browsing Instagram suddenly Rk home page…

even when with gaming apps …

and my battery life is down to 88 like how on earth it’s been few months and on top of that with it’s burning sometimes (not when kept charging ) even other wise it’s such disappointment….

I used Xr for almost 5 years, such a beautiful phone but this **** pathetic

sometimes with the camera clarity

so done
