It has only been in the hands of consumers for a few days, but the gadget that was heralded as the revolution in Apple-branded phones, the iPhone 15, has presented several problems.
Many users dream of immediately having the latest technology, which also exposes them to the first problems until the new devices implement the changes. The new Apple model was presented at the beginning of September and comes in four models: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
One of the key features of the latest model is that it has said goodbye to Lightning charging ports. “USB-C has become a universally accepted standard. “That’s why we’re bringing USB-C to the iPhone 15,” said Kaiann Drance, vice president of iPhone marketing, at the launch event for Apple’s latest mobile phone.
Overheating
According to the 9TO5MAC site, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested earlier this week that these overheating issues could be due to design flaws.
Many iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users complained that the new devices get very hot after using them for a while, even when doing basic things like browsing the internet.
An iPhone 15 Pro Max test shared on a Chinese video platform found that downloading the popular game Genshin Impact on a 5G network caused the phone to heat up to 122ºC. The iPhone remained at a similar temperature while running the game in high-resolution mode. A few days ago, YouTube channel TheRelaxingEnd shared a video showing how the iPhone 15 Pro suddenly started freezing and slowing down while running Genshin Impact, which could be due to overheating.
Officially, Apple has not commented on the matter, but the Bloomberg site has learned through its sources that the company’s engineers have been dealing with many customers complaining about overheating issues with the iPhone 15 Pro.
Technicians tell users to follow instructions in an old support article on Apple’s website about what to do if the iPhone gets too hot. While the article doesn’t provide specific instructions for the iPhone 15 Pro, it only suggests that it may become warmer than normal after initial setup, when restoring from backup, when charging wirelessly, or when running graphics-intensive applications or a Processor.

Charging mobile phone
In addition, the heating of the device may be due to charging the battery with an inappropriate connector, or due to Android devices.
Since the iPhone 14, Apple started equipping gadgets with the USB-C connector.
New smartphones, tablets and cameras must have the USB-C connector by the end of 2024, following the Brussels law that requires electronics manufacturers to have a universal adapter.
death logo
On social media, many users report that after transferring data from their old phone, the so-called ‘death logo’ appears on the screen for hours.
This may be because the latest versions of iPhone are equipped with iOS 17, which can make it difficult to transfer data from your previous model to your new device and display the Apple error logo. Therefore, the tech giant has announced the release of iOS 17.0.2 so that users can download the patch to fix the problem. (JO)
