iPhone 15 Pro problems: why is your device still getting so hot?

One of the most frequently asked questions at ThePhoneLab is: why is my iPhone 15 Pro still getting so hot? Shortly after release, users discovered that their device was getting very hot during normal use such as scrolling, taking photos or charging. Apple released an update with iOS 17.0.3 that should partially fix the overheating, but in practice we find that the problem still occurs. Especially with wireless charging, prolonged use of heavy apps or the use of thick cases, users continue to experience complaints.

What can you do?

• Remove your device from the case during charging or heavy use.
• Use only certified USB-C cables with Power Delivery.
• Temporarily close apps and put the device in airplane mode to cool down.

iPhone 15 complaints battery drains fast

Although Apple states that the iPhone 15 Pro series can handle up to 1,000 charge cycles while maintaining at least 80 percent battery capacity, many customers at ThePhoneLab experience rapid battery wear. In the first few weeks, some of this is normal due to background processes, but if the problem persists, action is needed.

What can you do yourself?

• Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Restrict motion.
• Turn off background refresh for apps you don’t use much.
• Check the battery condition via Settings > Battery > Battery Condition.

Is the battery capacity of your iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max below 80%? If so, we at ThePhoneLab recommend replacing your battery! Easily make online your appointment, or feel free to stop by one of our stores.

Camera glass iPhone 15 series is fragile

A growing number of users are reporting damage to their iPhone 15’s camera glass, and for good reason. Despite its premium design and advanced camera modules, the very glass around the lens is proving to be more sensitive than on previous models. At ThePhoneLab, we see devices with cracked or broken camera lenses on a daily basis, often without the device having been dropped hard.

How does the camerglass get damaged faster on the 15 series?
The camera glass of the iPhone 15 series sticks out further than before, making it more susceptible to damage. A tap against a table edge or the device loose in your bag or pocket is sometimes enough. Especially on the iPhone 15 Pro (Max), with the larger lenses, this is a weak point.

At ThePhoneLab , we replace the camera glass on your iPhone 15, quickly and professionally, without damaging the camera itself. This keeps your image quality intact and prevents dirt or moisture from entering.

complaints about USB-C and the iPhone 15

The switch to USB-C on the iPhone 15 series offers many advantages in theory: one cable for multiple devices, faster data speeds and more efficient charging. Yet at ThePhoneLab, we find that this change also causes confusion. Many customers come to us with complaints like “my iPhone doesn’t charge properly” or “file transfer is slow,” when the cause is often simple: the wrong cable.

What goes wrong?
Not every USB-C cable supports the same features. There are cables suitable only for charging, cables with limited data rates, and cables that simply do not meet the required specifications for an iPhone 15 (Pro). In particular, cheaper cables without certification cause a lot of frustration.

What do you need to know by model?

• iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus support standard USB 2.0, with limited data rate. Fine for charging and basic use, but not suitable for fast file transfers.
• iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max support USB 3.2 Gen 2, which theoretically allows you to transfer up to 10 Gbps. But this only works with a cable that actually supports that speed.
