My iPhone 15 Pro Max heats up when charging

Lawrence, you are doing your best in explaining this catastrophe. It’s difficult to defend this over heating of iPhone 15 pro max. I have one now but trust me I regret buying it. Why are other iPhones doing well with managing heating? I honestly think Apple should swallow the pride and help people with those devices.

You seem to be a smart person but right now you’re being a troll. So as the old adage goes, if you have nothing nice to say then it’s best to say nothing at all. You’re really not providing anything further to this forum. You’ve given your explanation of it. What it comes down to is that it’s not something unheard of, it’s an actual issue, and there’s a flaw if it’s so inefficiently charging and it’s only with the 15 Pro. So please, if you don’t have a solution don’t frazzle the rest of us further to try and play up your intelligence because you’re making yourself out to be a smart *** not smart.

Hey I’m with you on this! I just got the 15, not plus or pro just plain Jane and it gets HOT when charging. I too had a iPhone 12 plus no problem with it getting hot at all. I was just running out of memory and thought it might be nice to get a new phone. I think I’m going to return this pos. Maybe go with a different brand all together. Because what Apple is saying is BS!

If Apple take too long to fix this issue then I will be returning said iPhone 15 Pro Max to my carrier. They know it’s a major issue and if they are blaming software there is no reason why they cannot fix this very quickly. This phone I have gets very hot that I have to place it down whilst it’s charging. Never have any of my iPhones done this and I have had an iPhone ever since Apple released them.

My old iPhone 14 Pro Max uses the same charger but the cable being a lightning cable is the only difference and never ever did this iPhone got that hot I cannot hold it.

Apple expect people to hold on but when you are paying well over £1100+ for a device it should be working without issue right out of the box imo.

Are there any fixes yet? got a brand new iPhone 15 pro with the same issue. Overheating when charging, can't even think of using it in that time. It also overheats with several apps like adobe Lightroom and X. Super disappointed

Hi guys, seems people don’t believe how super duper hot the 15 pro max gets. Warm is not anywhere close to how hot my phone gets too. I seriously feel I burned my hand. I immediately released the phone onto my desk after taking it off the charger. This actually feels hotter than the hot your phone gets when you accidentally leave it in the sun.

My bf and I both got the new IPhone 15 max pro. He got his 2 months ago I got mine one month ago, we will both go to bed and plug in our phones and mine will be normal temperature and his will be so hot that you can’t hold it for longer than a couple seconds that is 100% not normal or OK for an iPhone and mine does not do that at all, but I will say that in the past two days my phone only has started randomly just turning off in the middle of me using it and it’s progressed where it does it like 10-30 times a minute it’s doing it right now as I type this is very annoying. Don’t like that we paid $1300 each for new phones and they are junk.

(Pasting this here because I actually replied to a comment instead of putting my own post.)

So you want me to charge my phone slower than it already is , just so it doesn’t heat up. It’s not a response as to why it’s getting hotter the reason it gets hotter is because it’s messed up and it’s a flaw which apple should have fixed pre-release. My iPhone 13 Pro is also 5g so don’t start on that or anything , it doesn’t merely get heat anywhere near the same amount as my 15pro

Did you use a 20 watt charger with your iPhone 12? Are you using a 20 watt charger with your iPhone 15?

Original Apple cables and 20 watt charger for every scenario. iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 15 and the 15 pro. Only one with issue is the 15 pro as mentioned.

That’s exactly right my iPhone 14 and 13 Pro Max never heat up. They only get slightly warm when I charge it and don’t use it the iPhone 15 Pro Max I have now he’s like a pan.

Well said Dave, my point as well!!

Mine heats up even while online

So you’re saying the iPhone 15 pro/pro max is an inferior product when comparing to the 13/14?
