iPhone 15 pro max heating issue

I am facing some heating issues like whenever I open the camera application, my iPhone immediately starts warming up and if I shoot whether I am just clicking just pictures only after about 15 minutes camera app tells me to keep my iPhone cool. Sometimes it gets so hot that I don’t want to touch it. And recently encountered this too that when I am using the music hepatic feature on apple music, the problem still persists and the battery drains so fast at that moment.

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

If your iPhone displays the “Temperature Warning” message and isn’t in direct sunlight, this is usually indicative of a hardware issue. While using graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps, such as the camera, your iPhone can warm up, but shouldn’t display the warning message unless it is physically in a hot area. As a result I suggest service for you at your nearest Apple Store’s Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
