Apple explained that the user’s iPhone 15 will feel hotter than usual, when the user makes a number of settings or performs restore (recover data).
Generally, when buying a new smartphone, users often make a number of settings and transfer data from the old and new devices.
The data transfer process often makes the device work harder than usual, causing the device temperature to heat up.
Apart from that, Apple also said there are several applications that make the device heat up faster, such as Instagram, Uber, games Asphalt 9and others.
Another cause is related to USB-C charging. Charging the battery using an adapter with a power above 20 Watts can make the device heat up faster.
However, as long as it complies with the USB-C Power Delivery standard, battery charging is still safe to use.
It should be noted that this problem is not experienced by all iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users.
However, for iPhone 15 users experiencing overheating, it is best to update iOS 17.0.3 by opening the iPhone, then accessing the “Settings” > “General” > “Software Update” menu.
