Let’s define “overheating”. If an iPhone overheats it shuts down so it can’t be used, and displays a message saying it must cool down before it can be turned on, and it will probably be unusable for an hour or so. If you are seeing this it is a hardware problem and you should contact Apple support: 


Note that both of the above have options to receive a callback or chat



If you are not seeing this your phone has not overheated. However, if you fast charge your phone may pause charging at 80% and display a message saying that charging has paused, and will resume when the phone cools down. This is NOT overheating, and is normal when fast charging. It also won’t prevent you from using any app you have on your phone.


Also, some apps that use a lot of energy or that use cellular data rather than Wi-Fi can cause the phone to run warmer.

iCloud is not free, so if you have a lot of data on your phone you have to subscribe to iCloud and pay for as much as data you have on your phone. I have been backing up my iPhone on my Mac and have never used iCloud subscription. If you are already using iCloud you might be ok. But the technician was explaining that I should NOT restore from iCloud. I should sync with it. If you decide to do it, you might gather a bit more info first.

Hi everybody


Yesterday i read somewhere that the US iPhone 15 Pro's is not overheating as much as the European ones.

The EU iPhones have a sim card slot and thats why they get even hotter where the US does not have a sim card slot. I wonder what Apple can do with this issue other that calling them all back and fix it for real.

I'm waiting for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. They say it will be send to me around Oct 30 so i'm really really tempted to cancel the order :(

This is so bad of Apple releasing new iPhone when stuff like this is not really working right. Shame on them.

Did everything people said it would help : got the lastest software update, minimize the storage usage, turn off background refresh and turn off phone when it’s overheating but none of those helps. My iPhone 15 pro even gets overheating without charging and only using iMessages, album and setting. Very disappointed. My previous iPhone X performs much better managing the heat. It’s 5 Celsius here but the cold weather couldn’t even cool down the phone.

It's my iPhone 15 Pro's 2nd week with me and I'm happy to report that I haven't experienced any overheating issue. The day after it was delivered it was used to take videos and photos of a 2-hour concert. My friend, who took the videos and photos on my behalf, said there was no overheating whatsoever. I use it daily to check Instagram, X, emails, YouTube, Spotify and it runs normally. I also monitor it when charging but have only experienced the usual warmth level when charging iPhones. Nothing funny and unusual which I'm thankful for.
