iPhone 15 Pro Try this if your 15Pro/ProMax suffers from „Heatgate“

[Superrenz]

Luckily my 15Pro behaved quite quite normal from the beginning: not too warm, battery life was ok as long as I didn’t touch Instagram. But the moment I opened this app, all hell broke loose.
But ever since I updated to the 17.1 Beta, things got way better. Phone is cooler und battery life improved significantly. Anybody else experiencing this?

 

[Superrenz]

Am I the only one trying the 17.1 beta?

Wouldn’t another option be to uninstall Instagram for awhile and see if the heat issues go away?

For me the heat problem is only during phone calls. And after restart, sometimes I can call >20mins but somtimes during day phone starts to be hot after few minutes. And now I’m on 17.1.

And? did it get better with 17.1.?

Sure. But as I mentioned above 17.1. improved battery life significantly

I have a launch day 15 Pro (not Max). Did not notice any excessive heat until yesterday. Then on a number of calls throughout the day, the phone got very hot after 2-3 minutes, and the battery starting draining quickly while on the calls.

I did a "Reset Carrier Settings" last night, which also rebooted the phone. Have not had any heat or battery drain issues today. So not sure if that did anything, or there is some other variable at play.

Give 17.1. a try. It worked for me and I read posts by people on other threads claiming it helped them with their heat and battery issues too.

Saw an article on one of the air travel forums, there is a rumor that airlines could ban the 15 over this issue.

 

[Superrenz]

That really sounds like a rumor….

 

[thelookingglass]

There's no way the 15 is being banned on planes. This is so overblown. I've had mine since launch day and there's been nothing out of the ordinary. It really does sound more like rogue code heating up the processor.

Wonder if 17.1 is throttling performance to reduce heat... Or if it fixed some buggy code that was pegging the processor for some reason.

That is utter nonsense.

i think 17.1 toned down multicore performance, i watched zollotechs video on 17.1 and multicore went down from 7200 to 6844

Hmm hard to say… only benchmarks will tell.

That is utter nonsense.

It's what happens when disinformation spreads. Just look at France's stupid method for measuring radiation. Apple had to make a software tweak that makes no difference in the real world but it shuts up France's regulators.

Samsung and Huawei execs are sweating. Foldy phone fanboys are sweating and angry. YouTubers love clickbait. They have an incentive to spray the web with stupid stories.

My 15pm seems fine heat wise but it wouldn’t surprise me if insta is causing a glitch, a little like the shaking cameras from last years 14 launch

lmao utterly ridiculous

lmao utterly ridiculous

Has happened before. Samsung.

Well yeah.. that was completely different, the phones were exploding lol

They ended up discontinuing that phone and buying them back from customers to get them off the market. Phones getting warm to the touch aren’t the same as FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS.

Clicks are their currency and to some of them they are more important than the truth.

That’s not the same thing at all. France was the government, not just people talking s**t on forums, and at least they had a scientific basis for their complaint (no matter how over-sensitive).

 

[Superrenz]

Looks like the so called „Heatgate“ is caused by faulty software.

Yup part apps part OS. Instagram was update this past wed and appears to have died this for Instagram overheating the phone.
