iPhone 15 and 15 Pro users report overheating concerns, Apple offers solutions
iPhone models, some iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro users have raised concerns about their devices getting excessively hot while charging or during phone calls and FaceTime sessions. The reported temperatures, reaching around 42°C/107°F, have left users worried about their safety.
It's essential to understand that these temperatures fall within a generally safe range, as per the standards set by ASTM C1055, which assesses the risk of burn injuries from heated surfaces.
In this context, these temperatures are unlikely to cause permanent burns when briefly touched.
To address this issue, several practical recommendations and guidelines have emerged for iPhone 15 users:
1. Enable Auto-Brightness: Users can allow their devices to automatically adjust screen brightness based on ambient light, which can help mitigate overheating and rapid battery drain.
2.
Connectivity Management: It's advisable to turn off Bluetooth when not in use and manage Wi-Fi and AirDrop settings according to daily needs.
3. Phone Cover Considerations: While protective cases shield the device from external damage, they can sometimes contribute to overheating by trapping heat.
In addition to these user-initiated solutions, Apple has also offered guidance on its support page to tackle the overheating issue:
Temperature Range: Users are encouraged to use their iPhone 15 in environments with temperatures between 0º and 35ºC (32º to 95ºF).
Storage Conditions: It's crucial to keep the device in a location with a temperature range of -4° to 113°F (-20° to 45°C) and avoid leaving the device inside a parked car, where temperatures can exceed these limits.
Normal Warmth: Apple reassures users that their devices may feel warm under specific circumstances,
