New iPhone 15 heating and battery going down fast

Hello, I bought my brand new iPhone 15 three days ago and I’ve noticed some uncommon fenomenons. When I charge it it over heats ( I use the 20-80 rule and if it’s charging from 20 to 40 it’s already heated. Also I don’t use it meanwhile) and the battery goes does relatively fast despite it being a brand new phone. I went to sleep on a 77 percent and woke up to a 60 smth, also when I’m using it for texting and stuff it also goes down quite fast. I bought this for the 20 hour battery of video reproduction so if I’m not watching a video it should last more right? I’m going on a vacation that involves a road trip and a ferry (24h in total approx to reach my destination + more hours of road trip to my stay), I don’t want to constantly be worrying about my phone and plugging and unplugging it and if it overheats while doing so. I already called apple support and they said everything is fine w my phone.


Is this normal? What should I do? Has this happened to anyone during their first uses of their phone.


btw I also haven’t done a backup transfer so everything is new and I also disabled some of the setting that drain battery like the background app refresh and so on.


Please help

Hello,

1) create a backup at the first opportunity How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

2) getting warm while charging is normal: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold

3) bring a charging cube and a cable on your trip. There are usually places to plug in.

4) With new phones there are always maintenance and indexing tasks to be performed. It should settle down in a few days. 

5) See this for some charging tips: When to charge your iPhone or iPad

Good luck.
