Since the launch of the iPhone 15 series, especially the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max with the A17 Pro chip, many users have reported that the phone suffers from serious heating problems during normal use. Many users experience significant heating and even some scalding at the back of the phone when playing games, using the camera, and other high-load applications, which is arguably the worst heat series in the last three generations.
Why exactly did the iPhone 15 Pro overheat?
1. Vulnerabilities in iOS
Since the iPhone 4, the heating problem of Apple's cell phones has begun to begin to see the first signs, and Apple has continued to improve the heat dissipation design after realizing the problem. However, these improvements don't seem to have solved the problem completely, and the heating problem in the iPhone 15 Pro series is even worse than in previous generations.
Apple used a titanium case and an aluminum frame in the iPhone 15 Pro series to make it lighter and easier to repair, so after the overheating issue arose, there were suggestions that it was Apple's own design that was at fault.
But in its latest response, Apple said that the overheating issue with the new models has nothing to do with the titanium bezel design. Instead, the company noted that it's because of vulnerabilities in specific apps, as well as vulnerabilities in iOS that can be fixed with a software update.
2. High ambient temperature
iPhone work by the influence of the external environment, the environment temperature is high, the phone is easy to be affected by the beginning of hot. In addition, many people are accustomed to put the phone in the pants pocket, under the influence of body temperature, the phone temperature will naturally rise.
3. Too much software running
Some programs start themselves in the background by default, and under limited memory conditions, if the program is not completely exited after use and a larger program is running, it will cause the phone's CPU to continue to run at a high load, releasing more heat.
4. Bad usage habits
Bad usage habits can also lead to overheating of the phone, for example, playing games or talking while charging. When charging, the battery is already working efficiently, and inputting and outputting at the same time will not only lose double the power, but may also cause harm to the battery performance, and the continuous operation of the battery load operation generates more heat than usual, and it is inevitable that the heat will increase.
How to fix iPhone 15 overheating problem?
1. Update iOS system
Apple pushed out the official iOS/iPadOS 17.0.3 system update in the early hours of October 5, and the update focuses on fixing an unusual heating issue that iPhone 15 Pro users may be experiencing. The iPhone 15 overheating problem was improved by updating the system, which is by far the most official solution.
2. Let your iPhone "air out"
Give your iPhone a good environment to use, minimize the effect of body heat on it, and keep it ventilated to help the phone enhance its cooling capabilities.
3. Close unused software
Turning off certain software when you're not using it for a while provides more running memory for the software you need to use, which can prevent your phone from overheating.
4. Develop good usage habits
Try to avoid using your iPhone while charging it. This will stop your phone from generating more heat while charging causing it to get hot, and it will also protect the health of your battery to some extent and extend its life.
