Hi,
I have an iPhone 15 pro max and increasingly I am facing heating issue. Not able to take office meetings on mobile more than 15 mins. It gets piping hot. Phone is running on ios version 17.4.1, the latest one. In spite of using the latest OS version, heating issue persists. Request Apple to fix the heating issue ASAP. Any idea how to fix it?
Rgds,
Priya

📱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.
