I was at the Apple Genius Bar a few days ago to get my iPad fixed. While I waited, I played around with the 15 models and I noticed that one in particular was running SUPER hot. Like almost too hot to hold for a long period of time. But all the others were fine.

[@JC-tg5xx]

I did notice the heat not sure if its the constant magsafe charging or the slideshow app they usually use for displays, the pro models in particular have their titanium frames discolored from the touching

[@chrizzflores]

They also keep the brightness at 100% all the time for all display iphones for the appealing factor which also contributes to performance degradation. I played with all the display iphones and they were all hiccuppy, slow, buggy.

I got the iPhone 15 pro yesterday at 2pm, I am a heavy user and I have been heavily using it since I got it leading up to this comment today. Luckily as soon as I unboxed it iOS 17.0.3 with the “overheating” fix was already out and obviously I installed it immediately, from my testing it has not over heated once and I’ve been running typical social media apps and KZbin. I charged it this morning to 93%, unplugged it at 8:13am it hasn’t seen a charger since and it’s sitting at 49% battery at 4:52pm. My testing is very limited as it’s only been a day lol but I will keep an eye on it, luckily so far so good without overheating issues.

Just a guess, but maybe since it's so new and still setting itself up? My 11Pro was a furnace as I watched a movie the evening I got it and set it up. Got much better after a day or two (this was on iOS 15, quite a while ago).

I had an overheating issue with my iPhone 12 Pro Max once I upgraded to iOS 17.0. It was in my pocket, when I started feeling some heat by my knee. I pulled it out, no app was running on it, but it was hot. And the only way for me to sop it from heating was to restart the iPhone. So, I think this is a software issue they have to fix ASAP, hopefully.

[@TheCyab]

This is literally my experience right now. My iPhone 12 Pro Max battery life sadly has taken a knock because of iOS 17. It’s heating up ridiculously

[@Rushinator1]

Nah, probably instagram or another Meta app doing a background refresh (app doesn’t need to be open). A lot of peoples heating issues disappeared when they turned off background refresh for those apps. That’s also why the heating was random as it would be caused by when the app decided to do that background refresh. The new Apple OS update & instagram update are supposed to fix the issue.

Apple just dropped the update, yesterday(17.0.3) that will fix the heat. It was also a couple of apps (Instagram being one) that was causing the issue as well, and Apple worked with their developers to fix this. Instagram just had an update yesterday as well. It’s definitely not hardware, or the titanium, because the titanium is just the side rails and the majority of the phone is aluminum. The A18 Pro needs to focus more on less power consumption, rather than power.

[@theenglishspace5141]

I really think the Pixel 8 people (choke) got it right this year. Their new chip is around Snapdragon 8 version 1 in power, but they added a really wild set of AI stuff the phone can do to photos, answering calls for you, a temperature sensor (gimmick, but could be useful) among other things. I expect other manufacturers to follow, with the AI next time around. Look at the Pixel 8 reviews. It's interesting. And 7 YEARS of updates.

[@taskman28]

From what I have been watching in regards to durability on the iPhone Pro Max 15 is that in one of the tare down videos there is a metal plate was was part of the back panel glass design and was integrated into the back in previous iPhones but in the new 15 that metal plate is no longer attached to the back panel but is now part of the internal structure of the phone. This is why the back panel is cheaper to replace but the integrity of the back panel is not as rigid without that metal plate.

[@rrrandommman]

Good spot, though I think just making the rear panel out of metal would solve a lot of issues, could even help thermals if they added an interface.

[@JC-tg5xx]

A design issue then, some people are still denying about it, saying people arent supposed to bend the back glass or something

The 15 and 15 Pro have different processors, the 15 has last years chip. So if both phones are overheating is has to be software. The fast that people are seeing it on older phones means it must be iOS 17.

[@Teluric2]

What a coincidence that before iphone 15 nobody has issues with ios 17 Fanboy" lets lie and claim that ios17 was overheating 14,13,12 so people cant say ip15 is not a failure.

[@carlkligerman1981]

I run an 11 and haven’t had any overheating issues, BUT as soon as I have the option I stop updating the OS, (so I’m on the final iteration of 16) which means my phone is now terminal. What Apple are going to do is choke their (frankly ridiculous) processors performance in the new phones to avoid the issue, which does beg the question as to why the hell would anybody buy these phones? Especially the Pro? Here’s an idea, beings as Apple are so keen to save the world and green wash and everything, how about they stop making pointless updates to iOS to improve the life of their products, instead of making sure each product is obsolete within a couple of years? THAT would be good for the environment. Until a phone can do something revolutionary like massaging my balls I really don’t see why these companies continue to claim that a product that is basically the SAME for going on three years needs to be iterated constantly like this, at huge cost to both consumers and the environment.

[@LeoLei-vq8ht]

Accroding to testings from Geekerwan, 3nm process is not as good as expected. A17 Pro is showing similar efficncy as A15 and A16, yet apple somehow decided to boost it's CPU core's frequency to 3.78GHz, which is stupitly high considering iPhone's poor thermal design. Knowing apple, they will probably make modification to CPU and GPU scheduling, limit boost frequency and usage of power cores to solve this issue. However, iPhone designers should really starting to pay more attention to the thermal designs in thier product, especially if they want gaming to be a key feature of an iPhone.

I believe it was way back with the iPhone 3 (maybe earlier) that some copies had an issue with suddenly discharging the battery, causing the phones to literally get dangerously hot.

I did have one of those phones and was impressed with how Apple handled the matter.

We see this every couple of years for both iPhone and Android. Processors have gotten so fast the average consumer is only gonna notice better battery life and that becomes the focus. Then people complain that there’s no major performance differences between the new phone and old phone, so the processors get faster and it takes a battery life hit and gets a little hotter. Then the generation after that will have a focus on efficiency again. Definitely sucks you buy a $1000+ phone and there’s issues like this, but for better or for worse, this is just the order of things.

Please somebody tell Marques and all of other tech bloggers that screen time in the iPhone shows screen time in the last 24hrs, not since last charging. It’s ridiculous that year after year they all make the same mistake

[@jaredweiman2987]

The thing the average consumer doesn’t really understand is that CPUs get hot. Like well over 100° hot. The difference between my PC’s i13900k and my phones A17 chip is that my PC’s CPU is liquid cooled. I don’t know what tolerances Apple is using, but my phones (since the 13 Pro) have always gotten relatively warm during high workloads. I also don’t know what other users are experiencing when they say “overheating.” If the phone is still on, it hasn’t overheated. But Apple acknowledged this is a problem for some users. I think it’s likely an issue on the software side. If it had to do with the actual hardware, it would never have made it through QA if even 5% of testers experienced hotter than normal phones. Some app or process may be utilizing more of the CPU than it’s supposed to.

Already fixed with iOS 17.0.3 this morning

[@EverythingEvo]

iOS 17.0.3 came out yesterday (October 4th) and yes, it addressed the heating issue.

[@Jesus-cu3be]

It has to be a software issue. I have a 12 pro max and have this issue too, and it was working perfectly fine before the update

[@DniCullen]

I just returned my 15 PM today. After installing iOS 17.0.03 the phone kept overheating. Right this morning, while charging it with the original apple cable and the 20W proprietary charger, while listening to Apple Music full volume for 15 minutes I went into the camera app and there it was again, a message telling me “the iPhone should cool down” before I could use flash again… So here I am back to my 14PM. Who would’ve foreseen they would release an even more disappointing phone this year… Hope 2024 will bring us the iPhone we’re all waiting for

[@vikinnorway6725]

Just update the apps and there would be no problems, its solved now. Instagram and a few other apps had some issues. Seen a full gamingtest with highest brightness and best res and still no heating issues and no dimming

[@MvpChriss]

I feel so bad, you had to update the apps too

[@dl4523]

Mine works fine sounds like a user error

[@rondouglas5147]

I always get a case, Mous makes some great cases and also get a screen protector. My iPhone 12 Pro had the Sapphire screen protector, a bit expensive, but does a great job. I normally don’t drop my phone and it’s in a leather holster when not in use. I did drop the 12 PRO face down on the tile floor in the kitchen. A few minor cracks on the outside edges that looked disturbing but not extremely bad. When I brought the 12 Pro into AT&T for the upgrade, they pulled off the Saspphire screen and the actual iPhone looked like new, as did the rest of the phone.

[@gimax4689]

Didn't know about sapphire cases until now. Do you mind naming a few known brands that make them ? Looking for my upcoming 15 pro max & want to continue using it for atleast 4 years so dont wanna cheap out on the screen protector/ tempered glass! Thanks !

[@renoallstate4573]

I dropped my phone off of a 15ft cliff in yellowstone and it tumbled down the rock into a river and i thought for sure it was toast but just the screen protector was smashed and the phone was fine

[@falltekhe]

I'm still waiting for a "Hot Ones: iPhone 15 Editions" episode

[@Peter-mj6lz]

The cracks are iPhone 4 nostalgia for me

[@bassamac]

My iPhone 15 pro max with 512 GB and it gets very hot even with no app running.

[@cynicalmandate]

They should rebrand it as "iphone comes with handwarmer tech"

[@majeds74]

I never had a heat issue with iPhone 15 Pro Max. After I updated it to 17.0.3, I charged the mobile with Anker 30W PD and it get abnormally hot, it approached the 50c. The next day I charged it with Apple 20W PD charger and it reached 39c only.

[@guaiaco23]

I got mine from day one and no signs of any problems with it

[@LavaGreyQ5]

17.0.3 is out now and claims to address "an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected." so hopefully this helps

[@ansonikuaigura]

Titanium passes the shock of the drop to the glass compared to aluminum so get ready to replace glass more often hahaha

[@deantwan773]

I was trying to drive Uber yesterday my shot went crazy with the heat

[@MarkEvans5]

…after all the background tasks are finished (syncing iCloud and apps can take days after initial setup) the heating issue seems to be completely gone. Also, check for battery utilization in settings. It tells you right there what apps used battery and whether it’s an On-Screen use or Background use…

[@limbeboy7]

Lol so the new chip is useless since they're downclocking it. Lol apple scamming it's users again

[@therealshiggy4314]

Never had an iPhone before and didn’t really sync anything, still had bad overheating, especially during calls and FaceTime as well as during charging. But the update which came earlier this day seems to have fixed it

[@EnricoBM]

It does heat up more

[@toddbowers5673]

Battery health is my concern…last two IPhone battery lasted one year and the health 75%. Normal use and charge. How come the chip gets better but the battery has been the same for years. They could make it last a lot longer but Apple keeps chipping away at it.

[@Spoonfed78]

Company makes literally a handful of products (insignificant vs many companies) controls everything end to end and still fails like this 😂

[@BorisArtemyev]

Not using instagram, phone is not overheating. Using an iPhone 15 Pro. The battery life is another story though.

[@Rrrrrrricky56789]

How bad is the battery life? I’m a pretty light user with some browsing and social media. Want the pro purely for the camera… how would the battery life be?

[@Rohwit]

I love how in America you can just sit and talk random things about the stupidest issue and look all smart and podcast-y

[@curcumin417]

It's all about the views- that's how the creators make money. Like mainstream media- The audience feels like they're learning something important, when 80% is junk content, and waste of time.

[@Rohwit]

@@curcumin417 well put. I absolutely love MKBHD but man, so much pressure on him too.

[@Sbangfpv_]

5:41 my dude. They’re just collecting/uploading data into packets at overlocked turbo speeds.

[@piyushkumarpal]

I think it's because the titanium is not a good conductor of heat so it's taking time to disperse the heat from body.

[@JohnnyBoy8089]

Sheesh what an awful design
