Apple released the new iOS on October 4 following numerous reports from users claiming their iPhone 15 Pro would top 100 degrees Fahrenheit after just a few minutes of use.
Adarsh Kumar, a member of the Indian National for the state of Karnataka, told DailyMail.com that his iPhone 15 Pro still faces heating issues.
He explained that the smartphone only overheats when charged with a MagSafe and even when ‘it is left idle.’
‘The titanium surface makes it hard to hold the phone as well when it gets heated. The overheating is not limited to just the backside,’ Kumar said.
DailyMail.com spoke with X user ‘Maxwell’ who also confirmed his iPhone 15 Pro Max is still overheating after the iOS 17.0.3 update.
Maxwell shared a screenshot of his smartphone that displayed a ‘Charging on Hold notification.’
‘Charging will resume when iPhone returns to normal temperature,’ the notification reads.
He also shared that the speakers are still crackling, and the smartphone ‘can’t withstand a small drop.’
Other iPhone 15 Pro owners shared their frustrations on a MacRumors Forum, where many also cited issues while using A MagSafe charger.
‘I’ve had my 15 pro (512GB) phone since release day and charge it every night on my Belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe charger, I have used this charger for three years without issues,’ users TotalMacMove posted.
‘I woke up yesterday morning with my phone at 68 percent, and multiple alerts saying charging had been paused due to temperature and the phone was extremely hot.’
However, many users reported the updated iOS fixing their iPhone 15 Pro overheating issue.

An X user posted: ‘The overheating of iPhone 15 pro max has gone down for me since the update.’
Some users also shared that they never had overheating issues with their iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max.
Tech experts had believed the trouble was related to the iPhone 15’s new processor or titanium casing that houses the high-end iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
But Apple hit back at the claims, blaming the issue on a software bug.
An Apple spokesperson told DailyMail.com that users might notice their iPhone 15 Pro feeling warmer when they set it up, restore from backup, wirelessly charge it, or use graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps.
