Yeah, that was the worst thing about this: all the deniers logging in to spew hatred and insults against people legitimately trying to troubleshoot what was wrong with their phone. Grown-up adults actually spending their time on this earth to call others “stupid” and “clowns”. It was just gross.
This site desperately needs active moderation.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone who contributed to troubleshooting the issue, and for raising your voices. You make things better for the rest of us, and it’s appreciated.
Still heats up quickly for me on 17.1 taking 5 or 6 pictures.
One thing I’ve noticed is that nothing slows down (at least noticeably) when the phone is this hot. It just gets uncomfortable.
After spending a Day on the beta, I don’t think I notice any major impact.
My feeling is that the “bug” Apple found has not yet been addressed.
Also, just another thought - if the titanium frame is better at getting heat away from the processor, wouldn’t that mean that the frame is more susceptible to heating up?
Every year at release it's the same nonsense and everyone wanting attention.
Really? Do you think a brand new phone shutting down after 10 minutes in moderately warm temperatures is normal behavior? Hi certainly don’t want attention. What I need is a fix so I can actually use my phone outside, particularly because I am in a wheelchair.
15PM owner here for the last few days. I can confirm that the battery life is worse than my 13PM which was at 88% health. And no it isn't indexing anymore. Also I don't have a lot of data on my phone. And overheating does occur, worst during charging between 20-50%, and starts to cool down a bit after 60+%.
17.1. and deleting instagram have solved my problems. Phone heats up only moderately even after shooting long videos. Have a safe trip to London
I guess for data points would be interesting to know:
1- phone model and iOS version specifically
2- if you use instagram and/or uber (since these seem to be the affected apps)
3- background refresh on instagram and/or uber (else N/A)

John Goober has coined the term 'overheat gate', but I say drop the 'over' its cleaner.

iPhone 15 OverheatGate Seems to Be a Nothingburger
Blaming it on the new titanium frame was just wild speculation on Kuo’s part, and by all evidence is *completely wrong*.

No, I am not an iOS developer…I wouldn’t be posting on this forum…yes, modern devices do finish indexing quickly…I was just stating a simple comment reacting to some talking about a device that just came out days before…clearly if you pay attention to news, Apple addressed this issue with the 15 Pro iPhones overheating. Some apps are overloading the A17 Pro and will be fixed via a software update this coming week I’d assume. But nice assumption regarding TSMC etc. quick trippin…
Instagram was never a problem for me. I think there was an update 2 days ago. Used it yesterday for 45 min straight and no problems.
But when i take 2 pics my phone gets really warm (not hot) and I loose 2-3% battery. That's the only time my 15 P get's hot.
You want attention. Ive had issue with tech in the past and I turned to warranty and support.
day 11. still no overheating on my pro max.
been on loads of calls, lots of instagram, and lots of camera use.
2. i do use instagram. not uber. according to the instagram app i use it 15-40 minutes a day.
3. all my apps have background refresh turned off except siri/shortcuts and my safari adblocker extension.

Same with me, I'm on 17.1 I notice that the battery has improved a lot, however the phone heats up with simple things like taking photos.... I can't find an explanation for that.
Nope, try again. I am simply providing a data point and checking a very active thread to see: 1) if there is something specifically contributing to the problem; and 2) seeing if there are any simple fixes. I will certainly turn to support if there are continued problems that are not solved via software updates.
Isnt it the sync with the icloud data(if you have a lot) which is what will take ”a couple of days” no matter how fast the processor is you will always be brought down to lowest common denominator, whether its your wifi or apple’s servers on a busy launch weekend. But I would guess launch weekends are not what they once were.
After a couple of days of setup and the phone getting hot, it hasn't made a peep since. No issues. But I also recognize that other people are having issues and do not dismiss their concerns as "wanting attention."
hopefully the 17.1 update fixes the people that get hot and just make everyone else's battery a little bit better. thankfully i'm good on my 15 Pro, but I don't use instagram. Mostly Outlook, Teams and Chrome for 3rd party apps and messages and camera for built in stuff.
Do you use your phone for telephone calls? Lot of people say the phone gets very warm on calls and even taking pictures. What‘s that got to do with Uber or Instagram?
This topic is getting so frustrating because of the divide its caused: some say it's heating up, some say it not, some say it's just nonsense, some say it's a fault, some say it's a software issue etc etc etc...
My iPhone 15 pro was hot after a FaceTime call today and I mean hot! I had this issue initially when I got the phone so I erased it and restored it from iCloud, no issue again until today.
There is something... maybe not all phones have it but there is a population who have heat issues with their iPhone. We're not making it up!

Yes, this was totally a made up “gate” for sake of attention: https://www.macworld.com/article/20...tra&huid=91d91198-a44f-448d-8297-4e82239c2250
It's a way to shut people up. They did the same thing last year and it's common.
'addresses a significant overheating issue'
Quite the 180 after this post of it being a nothing burger with false assurances:
