iPhone 15 overheating after iOS 17.2 update

After updating my iPhone 15 to iOS 17.2 my iPhone is overheating in a way I’ve never seen before.


Also when plugged on my car. Quite abnormal to be honest.


I thought that the overheating issue was already resolved.



iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 17

While traveling in car, had iPhone 15 plugged into auxiliary plug to listen to music. Also used to use Maps navigation. (I was not driving.) After 45 minutes, got black screen and prompt, “iPhone overheated and would not be charging until cool.” Phone was soooo hot. Reported to Apple and they said, Turn down screen brightness and don’t use phone when plugged in. Have never had this issue with my other iPhones. Then Apple support said was issue they were working to resolve.

I see, I’m not the only one with this issue. Exactly what you said, it get hot on the screen around volume buttons location. Top left corner of the screen.


I have 15 plus, I’m not an active phone user. For 10h a day it just sit on the desk. When at the gym or walk I listen to audiobooks, but recently after few min of vido call my battery drained down 15%. I didn’t have this issue before, and I only charge phone to 80% to extend the battery life. Phone should not get this hot by just using it for few minutes even by just watching wideo and not holding it in hand it get noticeable HOT.
