iPhone 15 Pro overheating

I just bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max a few days ago, barely have any apps on it, and downloaded the new software as suggested. It has still overheated every single day at the end of the day. Has anyone tried bringing back to Apple at Genius Bar and has Apple done anything about this?? It seems like I just bought a defective product!! None of all the iPhones I’ve purchased in the past have overheated like this!!

All my settings are the same as yours - locations, notifications, etc. - besides normal use (calling and texting) I use the phone for social media, YouTube, and games. I had a 13 Pro Max before this and my device never got hot. As soon as I switched, the device overheated. It’s not individual users, it’s the phone and the software.

Bought my iphone 15 pro a few days back and while transferring data from my 14 pro to my 15 pro, the 15 pro got really heated but it was still on ios 17. But even after updating to ios17.0.3 the overheating issue has not been resolved. My 15 pro gets really heated while charging and also while using camera to make videos or taking pictures. So far not impressed with this phone and really miss my 14 pro. Hope this issue gets better in the future.

iPhone 15 pro max has an overheating issue. It has not been sorted out by the new software update. Also is it easy to break? Can Apple be honest about what’s going on. Why do we have to use a case with the phone? The Apple fine woven case is really bad! Hurts your fingers at the bottom.

I have been using iPhone 15 pro almost about a month now and even after the update I’m still experiencing overheating when first started charging the phone and also FaceTime’ing or maybe taking multiple pictures, recording videos etc.. These are basic features of the phone and it should not cause overheating up to 110F(sometimes more). Took it to genius bar and they run a “test” by not even connecting the phone to any device and they supposedly didn’t find any issue and suggested that I can return the phone… Apple admit you f’d up and recall the phones.

I recently bought the iPhone 15 Promax, but I've been having a major issue with it heating up near the action button. Although Apple has released several updates to fix the problem, the issue persists. I am considering returning the phone and sticking with my iPhone 11 instead.

hi hood morning

after 17.1.2 update my iphone 15 pro max charge even not feel hot its cold like not used . a big difference after this update battery drain little fast but charging time my iphone is cool .

but on facetime games and camera oprating its to hot compare to samsung s23 ultra

Apple had the audacity to call me back after an hour and a half of discussing to tell me that this was normal. (obviously did not accept that answer and had them schedule me to have it checked out at Apple Store) I have a brand new one day old from December 7 iPhone 15 Pro 256 GB. (On iOS 17.1.2) Phone gets piping hot when plugged into Apple OEM cable charger. Seems to be fine with wireless charge. This is bad.

Been into two different Apple stores in UK and was considering 15 pro but couldn't decide whether to get the Max so had tried both phones in the hand. In the end I walked away from the purchase as twice in a week I've picked up a 15 pro and it's not just been warm, it was hot. Checked the iOS version and both were surprisingly on 17.2. Not only were they hot but two had frozen screen. I pointed it out to the Apple store employee and his reply was, "these demo versions tend to be unreliable". Basically a phone running hot will degrade the battery in no time. I'm considering the 14 pro as it just feels like something is not right with the 15. I'm sure many people have a great experience and earlier updates did in the main solve the overheating issue that was widely reported, but not in all cases.

Oh, that's just propaganda from Big Physics! ;-)

I took mine back to the apple store and made them fix it. They sent to cali apple to look at it. I hope more people do the same thing. So Apple finally knows Something is wrong with iPhone 15 pro max. I am waiting for my phone to be sent back to me.

I got replacement of iPhone 15 pro max and still heats up. The store told me they done everything they could.. I was told to call 1800 Apple to get logs for the engineers. They sent the logs to them. The engineers.

said they feel nothing is wrong with the phone. I told them I am not the only one having this issue. I wrote a letter to the ceo office about this. I haven’t Heard back from them. I need more people to let Apple know about this.

Apple not going do nothing about it. They took logs from my phone and they see nothing wrong. The energies said if phone give warning or shutdown. It’s normal it warm up. Then I wrote to the celo office about this. Here is their respond to me.
