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.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max is getting really hot just by doing simple stuff on it like listening to music or scrolling web pages. My last phone was iPhone 13 Pro Max and I did not have any issues.


Went to the authorised service in my country but they told me there’s nothing they can do since Apple hasn’t agreed there’s a heating problem.


I explained to them that my phone isn’t usable this hot and that my 13 Pro Max is performing much better than my 15 Pro Max to which they stupidly answered me “Those two phones are very different”.


What the ****? I am very disappointed with my purchase. Has anyone received a replacement?

I purchased iPhone 15 Pro Max, recently from Sharaf DG Dubai. The phone is heating up while kept on charge the battery, similarly in-spite of cold weather and Air Conditioning control of temperature the handset is overheating and the left-side (with volume control button) and body areas below the camera is very overheating up and not comfortable for holding. Similarly, after charging while speaking over the phone it was so heated that can’t be held near the ears, means it was so hot the ears felt burning.

Please update the reasons and how to control this hindrance. It’s really a big suffering.

This is ridiculous but also does not work. I have 2TB of cloud storage and I bought an iPhone 15 pro max with 512gb of data. Less than 10% of it is used.


Apple, we shouldn’t have to put our phone in the fridge every time we use. I haven’t even finished setting it up yet and it’s 4 times hotter than this iPhone 12 Pro Max I’m typing in now.


ITS FEB 2024 and this still isn’t fixed…
