Here are some tips you can try to stop your iPhone 15 Pro Max from overheating until there is an official fix.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issue is generating some trouble among early users who got their phones during the launch week. Users say that their phone gets restlessly hot, particularly when it’s charging or operated for long periods.

According to one iPhone user, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.0.2 gets hot in two cases. One is when it’s charging with a 65W USB PD GaN charger.

When they operate this charger, the iPhone 15 Pro Max heats up especially, to the point where it’s painful to carry without a case. They’ve detected that utilizing a 15W USB PD charger helps reduce the heat, but it also causes the charging slower than it already is.

Another specimen where the iPhone 15 Pro Max manages to get hot is during lengthy usage, especially when switching between chat apps and watching Instagram reels. Interestingly, this heat makes up on the right side of the phone, along the bottom of the camera section. It’s critical to cite that this occurs without gaming, without the phone being plugged in for charging, and while connected to Wi-Fi, causing the heat quite unexplainable.

A Korean YouTuber, BullsLab, brought a thermal camera and pointed it at the iPhone 15 Plus and 15 Pro Max after running some benchmark tests. What they noticed were high temperatures being recorded.

Current reports reveal that the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s A17 Pro chip, built by TSMC, is prone to overheating, even during regular usage.

The world’s first-ever 3nm chip, the A17 Pro chip causes the iPhone to perform better, but it’s also generating some overheating problems.

Revegnus shared a heatmap of the iPhone 15 Pro, which showed that the spot around the A17 Pro chip gets hot. Temperatures in that spot can get a scorching 48 degrees Celsius.

This is insane. The iPhone 15 Pro can reach temperatures of up to 48 degrees. Apple fire dragon 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/VJUqPusPf7

As per Youtuber Vadim Yuryev, Apple expanded the power consumption of the A17 Pro chip to get the expected results. However, this wattage boost generated a lower battery life and also caused the phone to heat up more quickly.

Exactly what happened. TSMC didn't have good enough 3nm chip yields so they had to lower their efficiency standards to accept more A17 Pro dies which would've otherwise been tossed away into the trash.

So Apple lowers the efficiency goal across the board which led to chips that… https://t.co/ilcFCO17NS

TechTablets, the Tech reviewers, has also confirmed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s A17 Pro chip delays down a lot. In just 2 minutes of usage, it lost about 25% of its performance, and after 20 minutes of heavy use, it fell by nearly 34%.

I can confirm the iPhone 15 Pro Max A7 Pro throttling is bad. Apple needs to cool this chipset properly, just 2 minutes is all it took to lose almost 25% performance to drop to almost 34% after 20 minutes of GPU load. And yes these scores are amazing for a mobile chipset.… pic.twitter.com/bummfYojDh

Tips to stop your phone from overheating

Here are a few tips you can attempt to stop your phone from overheating until there is an official fix from the iPhone company.

  • Close all unused background apps to stop overheating.
  • Operating an original cable for charging allows for avoiding possible problems associated with third-party USBC cables, which usually have inconsistent quality.
  • Keep your iPhone up-to-date with the latest iOS version for bug fixes and performance modifications.
  • Remove your phone case for better airflow and heat dissipation.
  • Check the battery’s health in settings; if it’s severely degraded, consider a replacement.
  • Don’t use the iPhone in sunlight to stop overheating.
