The vast majority of users never faced the heating issue.

It depends. If you are in a hot place / under sun it will heat up but not really a disturbing level. While gaming at the same situation it is disturbing.

That’s a minority of users though.

Obviously if you are not living in UAE

According to?

According to the responses here, and posts on this sub over the course of the past year.

And these people are….a tiny fraction of the userbase 😂😂😂😂

Well ah not true.

According to?

Many postings, reports and experiences.

I bought 15pro week ago and while it was warmer first day, last week was as cold as my 14PM. What’s more I don’t see any difference to s23U I had last year and SD2 was supposed to be a „cold” CPU. These labels are bullshit for me - some phones may be cold other can heat more - it all depends on user or particular unit.

Cool story.

All of these speculation posts are getting out of control and mods need to start deleting shit.

I’ve seen this reported elsewhere. Lots has leaked by this point.

What heating issues

There is no ‘heating issue’ it’s just a rather small subset of vocal people that use their phones in a certain way or the apps they use and the environment that affect their phone and make it much warmer than it should be. Most people like me barely see the phone get warm let alone actually getting hot or overheating. The actual heating problem was fixed way back in September of last year.

That is absolutely wrong. Why are some of you trying to dismiss a problem being reported by so many ? Vocal minority? There are hundreds of comments here, on X, on Macrumors, of people complaining. Is 9to5mac a vocal minority?

[https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/06/my-iphone-15-has-an-overheating-problem-but-apple-has-a-fix-for-the-iphone-16/](https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/06/my-iphone-15-has-an-overheating-problem-but-apple-has-a-fix-for-the-iphone-16/)

This summer, I had to revert to my 12 to shoot outside because it was so uncomfortably hot in the hand. I didn’t shut down but was so uncomfortable to hold.. Apple improved the issue on the software side, but it is widely known that there are batches of these chips that draw more power, thus produce more heat, and have worse battery life. It is because of the manufacturing process; some batches could have power draw outside the spaces. That is why Apple on the iPad went straight to the M4, to avoid continuing producing the chips with this manufacturing process. If there was no issue, Apple would not change the cooling on the 16. There is nothing worse for those who have the problem than to have other people dismiss it and ignore it. For those who don’t have the issue, great, good for you, but for those looking into buying the 15 Pro, you could get one of those hand heaters. I will exchange it for the 16pro once i know for sure the problrm it tottaly fixed on ALL units.

Not absolutely wrong in any way. Hundreds of comments pales in comparison to the millions of people who own these phones and have no issue. Any phone would struggle if it’s 100 degrees outside even my 15 Pro Max would get quite warm in the hot summer sun but not necessarily overheat unless you literally leave it to bake in the sun. 

Apple does very thorough tests on their devices prior to launch if they felt a heating issue was a actual problem they would have done more to address it. People have also complained about heating in other past iPhones so this is not an exclusive complaint to the 15’s and this is even a problem on android devices to a varying extent.

Exactly

Maybe because those millions are a silent majority. In any case my expensive 15pro was struggling to shoot video in the sun  while my old 12 did it with no issues. And I have an extreme example. Even now , cool inside , my 15pro got very hot just updated 9 apps from the store.  Apple tests their devices thoroughly? Remember the antenna gate in the iphone4? How could the testers miss that the phone would loose signal holding it a certain way? It still got release this way. There are a lot of variant during testing and the units Apple uses for testing are usually engineering samples. They don’t test batches of chips on production runs in the millions.  It is impossible. Anyway you are right but so am I. What I mean is, those who don’t have the issue just don’t despise it, it is not good advice for people looking for true reviews.

Stfu

Great intelligent argument. Best you could come up with? People come here to get honest feedback not to be Apple sheep and I say this being an Apple customer for 15 years and having All of apple’s products but I am not an apologist.

No I didn’t give any more of a response because it’s not only me that feels this way the overheating shit is blown way out of proportion. And that’s all I’m going to say.

Good for you then. So those who have the issue and don’t agree with you are discarded as nonsense eh? And drive you to be rude and u polite? Good sense of democracy and free speech even for a tech subject.

I shouldnt have posted in the 15 pro subreddit, everyone who’s got the phone hates me lol! If anything if the leaks are true its a good improvement for the future phones lol. Idont get the attacks when its a known fact alot of people still have the overheating issue

Don’t say that. You will also be casted away and will be told to shut up. Maybe they should also tell 9to5mac and Macrumors and all the Apple centric media who has reported on this non issue. I won’t say another word this. I don’t care if people believe/agree or not. Just wanted my thousand plus  phone to work normally just like all the previous ones. This month the 16pro will be here to replace it and the 15 will be someone else’s problem, matter of fact already have a buyer lined up but told him about the issue.

We are living in a weird world, world is going batshit crazy. Kudos for speaking up, enjoy your 16 pro.

Had a 15 pm and haven’t experienced heating problems since received at launch

My phone has not had any heating issues. 

You're reading an echo chamber and searching for the topic if that's all you're seeing.

Also if it’s graphene it will be mega light which is a nice bonus. I’m sure it just be a small change but still.

As someone who recently got an iPhone 15 pro max the over heating is ridiculous!! Paying 1,000$ dollars for a phone for it to heat up

I had that issue, although I live in a hot ass Arizona. This generation of iPhone however was the first time I experienced the battery swelling+ overheating.
I had to schedule a Genius Bar appointment at my local Apple Store because of it lol. All I have to say is get APPLE CARE +. It really is a lifesaver

I’ve had my 15pm since last October and I’ve yet to have a single heating issue besides the very first time I turned on the phone and it was setting up. I must be lucky because it seems to be a widespread issue that I don’t have.

Yeah absolutely, glad you didn’t face this issue.

I have a 15 Pro and have the heating issue. I bought it in September 2023 and my battery is already down to 95% health. I had an 11 Pro before this that I bought in December 2019 and was at 87% after 4 years. So I do wonder if the excess heat is degrading my 15 Pro battery faster.

My 15pm never had that heat issue, maybe I got lucky. The phone has been awesome tbh.

Yeah ive read alot of mixed opinions, but i still see alot of people on this subreddit talking about the heating issue. Im glad you and others did not face this issue.

I think it was an online phenomenon for the most part.

I’ve had the phone for 2 weeks, in an otterbox case and the 15 pro doesn’t even get close to the temp of my 12 pro. Make sure you are using a charger that isn’t over 24w

I've not had heating issues but typing on it is terrible.

When I first got the phone and plugged it in the mfer was hot as hell. It has heat flashes here and there but it’s never that big of an issue IMO. I do have a 15pm but yeah hopefully they make It a none issue

*16s 🤦🏻‍♂️

This issue has been debunked since the first few updates because of a third-party app, causing the phone to overheat this no longer exist
