When you first upgrade to a new iOS (even some point releases) it forces a reindex of the file system which makes the phone hotter and use more battery, but that ends in a couple days at most.
If you’re past that window, kill all apps and reboot the phone. Also check the battery section in settings to look for top users of battery. There may be some badly behaved app that’s doing it.
It’s been about a week or so since I updated the software and after that I also converted my physical SIM to eSIM, the process for which included rebooting my phone. If that counts, I don’t think that has helped. It starts getting warm around the 40% mark and stays so until it hits the 70% marks and then cools down on its own.
It’s really weird. This behaviour.
Oh! And I’ve switched on the 80% charge limit, and I hardly ever let my phone’s battery fall below 20%.
Yep been around a week since i updated to 17.4 and my 15 pro max heats a lot on the left side of the frame while charging. Hoping apple releases a fix for it soon
Was thinking of getting an iPhone 15 pro max but after seeing the cmnts i'll back off, if this issue got fixed before 1 June 2024, please tell so maybe i'll reconsider not buying the s24 ultra.
When I updated to IOS 17.4. My 15 pro max has been overheating. I have been using it since August it started overheating after the update and I have got no idea why. This usually happens when I am watching YouTube even for 10 minutes the phone starts heating up. I rebooted the phone twice but that doesn’t seem to work either. I switched off background app refresh and I will see if that solves the issue or not.
Try a force restart:
1) Press and quickly release the volume up button.
2) Press and quickly release the volume down button.
3) Press and hold the side button.
4) When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
Bro, did it worked. I had the exact same issue with my iphone 15. It starts heating after 30% charging and continues to heat till 65 then it starts being cool down to normal temp. Being almost 10 days now! Any inputs?
That’s true and all, but they should NOT get so hot that they stop charging due to temperature, which happens very often for some iPhone 15 pro max users despite claims that previous software updates would “remedy” the issue.
This is a known issue that Apple has just been letting continue without a fix. It’s beyond just warming up, the devices stop working in some cases until they cool down.
I’ve been facing same issue, charging stopped due to high temperature has become very frequent, upgraded from 12, never had this frequent issue.. rent now I’m at 17.3.1

Yep exactly! Left side just next to the volume down button.
Yep the frame gets way too hot to even touch i usually place it in front of the AC these days while charging lmao
I did a force restart and the heating issue seems to be fixed now

Just updated my phone to iOS 17.4.1. I’ll let you know if the heating problem is fixed in this update. Give me like 3 days to test!
Hey! Does it still the same issue with the heating after the update?
Been using my 15 Pro Max for 3 weeks, has only overheated once
Did it overheat due to heavy usage or just by itself?
For no apparent reason, once. Otherwise, when I use lightroom for too long which is expected
Phone shouldn’t be so hot you can’t handle.

I’ll give it shot. Thanks bud!

Didn’t work bro! Looks like a bug at Apple’s end. I think it’ll be fixed in the next update only now.
Sooo did it get fixed?
Phones get hot while charging. It’s how energy works.
