iphone 15 heating and battery draining

Today marks my first week with the phone, I didn’t have any issues beforehand after updating to 17.0.3 it just happens that today I’m experiencing the battery draining rather quickly and the phone has been extremely hot all day long. I unplugged my phone last night at about 12:10 and went to sleep half an hour later. I then woke up at almost 9:00 and was surprised the battery drained that much, I used it a bit more and charged it but then it just stopped charging because the phone was too hot, that never happened before so I let it cool for a while and plugged it in for a bit again, after I unplugged it 30% of the battery was gone (light usage, I don’t game on my phone since I have a ps4). I shut down the phone and when it felt cool to the touch I plugged it in again, I left it to charge and when I turned it back on it had 100% so I immediately unplugged it, left it for about an hour and when I came back battery was just going away, right now it’s 20:02 and I started using it at 18:38 with 96%, in less than 2 hours I already have 58%. It could be the charger I use (When I bought it the store didn’t have the original charger and so I went back on Monday and they sold me one that seems fake to me)

📱Facing iPhone heating issues? Here's what worked for me on my iPhone 12 Pro:

1️⃣ Backup on iCloud/iTunes

2️⃣ Log out of Apple ID

3️⃣ Erase (Keep eSIM Data)


❌ DO NOT restore from backups! Set up as new iPhone. Wait 2-3 days - no issue! That Indicates...

✅ No hardware/ iOS issue


Now...

📦 Restore data gradually

🔍 Find app/settings causing heat



My experience says this is purely caused by some third-party app that you may have installed.


I am not aware of the ambient temperature in which you are using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...


Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.


Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.
