iPhone 15 pro max overheating
Anyone still having issues with overheating? I bought my phone less than a week ago and I have the 17.0.3 update? It gets so hot that it stopped charging, and my screen now lags
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

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:
- Click on “Support” at the top of this page
- Go to Contact Official 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.
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.
You are also on an older iOS version. Go to Settings/General/Software Update and choose the current version 17.1.
