Caution for iPhone 15 Pro Buyers: Apple Warns of Overheating Issues

 

As Apple enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the iPhone 15 Pro series, a cautionary note has emerged from the tech giant regarding potential overheating issues. The recently launched iPhone 15 series, featuring significant upgrades across all models, including the base and top-tier variants, has garnered attention for more than just its advancements.

Users of the iPhone 15 Pro Max are expressing concerns about overheating problems, particularly during charging and extended usage. Reports indicate that the area below the camera on the right side of the phone becomes excessively hot in these situations. Social media platforms are buzzing with users sharing their experiences and frustrations related to the heating issues.

The problem seems to be twofold, occurring both during the charging process and prolonged usage, prompting users to note that the phone gets so hot during charging that it becomes untouchable. In response to these concerns, Apple stores in China have cautioned users against using Android USB-C chargers with their iPhone 15 devices. The warning stems from the possibility that these chargers may not deliver the necessary power, leading to overheating.

While some speculation suggests that the new A17 Pro chipset based on TSMC’s 3nm architecture might be the culprit, it’s important to note that the overheating issue could also be attributed to compromises in the thermal system design. Users have reported that the iPhone 15 Pro models feel exceptionally hot to the touch.

Given the gravity of the situation and the potential impact on sales, it is anticipated that Apple will address the overheating concerns through a software update. As of now, the issue seems to be limited to the Pro models, and users are hopeful that a swift resolution will be provided by Apple to ensure a seamless and trouble-free experience with their new iPhones.
