Is iPhone 15 still overheating?
Initial reports indicated that the iPhone 15 Pro faced overheating issues, which were partially attributed to a software bug within iOS 17. An iOS 17 update aimed at resolving this specific bug was mentioned in publications around October of 2023. Despite this resolution, later reports suggested that overheating persisted in various scenarios such as gaming, general usage, fast charging, photography, and even after updating to iOS 17.0.3. Users continued to encounter similar issues even after the release of subsequent iOS versions, like iOS 17.2, suggesting that although the major software bug may have been mitigated, individual cases of overheating continue to surface, potentially related to variables like specific applications, hardware variations, and other influencing factors.
Apple acknowledges these occurrences, citing occasional application behavior and initial setup processes might contribute to momentary overheating experiences. They encourage affected users to contact customer service via dedicated tools, such as the Apple Support App, to work towards identifying potential root causes or efforts toward improvement.
