Common iPhone 15 issues and how to fix them.

Overheating error

Apple has confirmed that some third-party apps, such as Instagram and Uber, are also overloading the A17 Pro chip, leading to heat dissipation issues. The company is working with developers to optimize the software causing the problem.

The iOS 17.0.3 update will address a bug in iOS, patching a kernel vulnerability that had been exploited in versions prior to iOS 16.6, allowing hackers to gain elevated system privileges.

The WSJ previously tested and found that the iPhone 15 Pro Max reached 41 degrees Celsius during charging, sometimes even reaching 45 degrees Celsius, while the temperature of the iPhone 15 Pro model could rise to 50 degrees Celsius when downloading demanding games using 5G.

Apple says the titanium frame is not the cause of the overheating issue, and the company also asserts that the upcoming update will not reduce the performance of the A17 Pro chip.

In addition to iOS 17.0.3, iPadOS also received a new update; both address a kernel vulnerability that could allow attackers to gain elevated system privileges.

To update and fix bugs on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, users should go to Settings > General > About > Software Update.

Software error causes the computer to freeze when booting up.

Some iPhone 15 models delivered to customers may freeze at the Apple logo. This primarily occurs during the process of transferring data from an old iPhone to a new one. Fortunately, Apple has addressed this issue and released a new update (version 15.0.2 for all iPhone 15 models). Therefore, for safety, users should update their new device's iOS to the latest version before transferring data from their old iPhone.

The body shell is easily cracked.

Numerous user reports and real-world tests from various media outlets indicate that the iPhone 15 and Pro Max models are significantly more prone to breakage than their predecessors. Users can easily crack the rear glass by bending the phone body with their bare hands, something very difficult to do with the iPhone 14. The new generation of iPhones also appears more fragile when dropped.

Experts say the iPhone 15 is more fragile than its predecessor because the replacement of the frame with a titanium frame has reduced the device's rigidity, and the redesign of the iPhone to meet repairability criteria has also affected the overall structure.

Fabric fibers and dust get into the machine parts.

The newly released iPhone 15 is susceptible to dust and lint getting into the rear camera lens, screen scratches, minor chipping of certain parts, and unusual discoloration of the bezel… These defects are concentrated in devices intended for the US, China, and Europe markets. In these cases, users are advised to request a replacement device.
