IPhonr 15 heating issue

Please please Apple will you kindly listen to the widely shared complaint of your clients? The iPhone 15 heats and overheats very quickly whenever in use, even for such begnin usage as email checking and answery. Unacceptable! Many thanks

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Overheating issues with my iPhone - Action Taken and Resolved.


📱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.

So, with exactly the same configuration , including the same portfolio of apps, my old iPhone SE did not heat up and my brand new and expensive iPhone 15 heats up rapidly and systematically. Can one truly believe that the fault is due to the apps, not to the phone… Good luck protecting the Apple brand and future while ignoring the wave of friendly calls from the community to face the reality of the iPhone15 problems
