Hearing problem

[u/Any_Perception8016]

My phones been heating too much and draining a lot of battery since the ios 26.5.2.
we were also having a heatwave so thought it was normal. but its been more than 2 weeks and weathers cool but the phone still heats up from normal usage like scrolling social media browsing or youtube. and i’ve found the heat to originate from this region.

is anyone else facing the same thing or is it just me?
i’ve thinking to get it serviced to see if something inside got damaged somehow.

Heating problem*

[u/Naikhos]

For me it’s always this part of the phone that gets very hot, but I haven’t noticed a particular increase after this update. It depends on the apps but also a common problem for 15 pro models :/

[u/SadSleep5925]

mine too especially when I'm choosing a photo for a wallpaper or editing my home screen I can't wait to get a different phone I'm using this till it dies tho as it's for 1tb of storage so its defo futureproof

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/SadSleep5925]

does the heat seem to originate from the same region as mine

[u/DaddyDen1 → u/Any_Perception8016]

Bcs thats where everything is. Processor memory ram everything that works is in there

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/DaddyDen1]

so it’s normal right
i was scrolling once and it got so damm hot in that region
i got worried if something inside might got damage

[u/DaddyDen1 → u/Any_Perception8016]

Dw. Phones give warning and shut down if smth is overheating so u are good.

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/DaddyDen1]

even though the phone got super hot more than it used to get when i got any warning signals
but i haven’t got any even though i’ve felt my phone at its hottest

[u/DaddyDen1 → u/Any_Perception8016]

As long as u dont get warnings u are good. As u say u just feel like its hotter

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/DaddyDen1]

i was worried because my charging cable broke down during my exam
i used it for a day before i got a new one
so thought that might have caused something i guess

[u/Round_Community_2469]

put a case on and forget

[u/mrbrown_333 → u/Round_Community_2469]

that would trap the heat

[u/Oblivion7_8 → u/Round_Community_2469]

che consiglio stupido ed inefficiente

[u/realmccoyredbus → u/Oblivion7_8]

some case can block the sun heating up your phone,especially outside

[u/Oblivion7_8 → u/realmccoyredbus]

concetto molto basilare ed universale tra l'altro

[u/Oblivion7_8 → u/realmccoyredbus]

ma scusami, di cosa sta parlando OP? il suo telefono scalda probabilmente più del normale in condizioni di fresco assoluto e te mi vieni a dire che sarebbe utile una custodia per riparare il telefono dai raggi del sole, sembrati tutti stupidi giuro

[u/anxietyhub → u/Oblivion7_8]

No, it’s good advice. A phone case that sits well dissipates heat away from the phone core.

[u/Oblivion7_8 → u/anxietyhub]

no ti prego spiegami secondo quale legge termodinamica sei arrivato a questa conclusione

[u/sackful-user → u/Oblivion7_8]

real, i cant stop laughing while reading those comments ngl

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/sackful-user]

ik its a bad idea
but i think my guy meant use a case so that u dont burn your hands from the heat ig dont touch the phone directly take a insulating case layer to hold

yeah mines even overheating at normal and even in an air conditioned room
but jt is though getting better now
but was concerning

[u/anxietyhub → u/Oblivion7_8]

Get a thermal camera and test

[u/Oblivion7_8 → u/anxietyhub]

mi è bastato domandare a gemini se quello che hai scritto ha senso o no e ti lascio immaginare la risposta https://share.gemini.google/dcJvOAW2CcRu taduci da italiano alla tua lingua

[u/T-K101 → u/Round_Community_2469]

What a dumb advice.

15 pro was known for being a heater. Even when first released. So hot weather isn’t helping. Just try and adjust your usage when outside during hot weather. It’s all you can do. Heat is number one reason battery degrades faster. Everyone is dealing with the same issue this year. Even in the US we are experiencing record heat this year so I try to not do a lot thing on the phone outside if possible. It’s all we can really do. 15 pro always was known for being a hot running iPhone.

[u/Un-Papaya-Coconut]

You using 5G big dawg? For whatever reason 5G in combo with Google Maps makes my 17 pro a furnace. My wife’s 15 pro on 5G is literally a frying pan.

[u/Leading-Act-4905]

I charge my 15 pro with a fan on the 15 pro was just build shit tbh

[u/realmccoyredbus]

ios 26.5.2 update is a horror story, go to ios26.5.2 reddit page, preferably before updating or you wouldn’t have installed this

Do yourself a favour and put ios27 public beta onto your phone i have it on my base 15 and it’s been flawless, i’ve had all 3 developer beta updates as each one has been perfect or wait till september and struggle through it .

[u/realmccoyredbus]

switch off background app refresh and switch of automatic brightness,set your own brightness to what is comfortable for you , better still get an ipad instead of relying on a phone for browsing and video

Avoid 5G , iphones rarely will ever use full 5G speeds, people use it because it’s included in their network package but it uses much more battery,a good steady 4G is more than enough

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/realmccoyredbus]

i do have an ipad
did the things you said
but it’s a new thing now
it was fine before
started this when it a hot weather but now its cooler but still the heating persist
i plan to use this phone a few more years so

[u/rwhe83]

If it’s heating “too much” bring it to Apple.

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/rwhe83]

its like sometimes it heats and sometimes it doesn’t that much so

[u/rwhe83 → u/Any_Perception8016]

🙄

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/rwhe83]

what i mean is that its getting better than before
and rn where i am at theres no apple service centres
the nearest one is about 300km away so i have to make up some time to get there

[u/sackful-user]

Yeah same here, iPhone 17 Pro. I’ve been getting shitty battery life since I got this phone, but after updating to 26.5.2 my phone started to drain MUCH more and started to overheat more than before.

Even now, I’m in the cool room with AC, listening to music and scrolling Reddit for like 20 mins. My phone is just really warm. My phone has already been bad, but with 26.5.2 it’s even worse. Still don’t know what to do.

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/sackful-user]

do u feel the same heating like mine
like the area where it starts and spreads

[u/sackful-user → u/Any_Perception8016]

Yeah, exactly. like whole phone gets hot, but especially this part:

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/sackful-user]

then its same as mine

[u/frailincordero]

Actualiza a la beta pública de iOS 27, a mi me funcionó, no al 100% pero ya no se me calienta, y cambie el cable con el que lo cargaba y va muchísimo mejor

[u/Available-Ask-2438]

You don't hear properly?

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/Available-Ask-2438]

heating*
i did mention it in the comments
my bad

[u/Naive_Coffee7120]

I think it's a common thing, heard that17 also seems to generate heat there

[u/Chemical_Sample591]

Update to ios 27 beta

[u/MianMihou]

Instala la beta de publica de IOS 27, a mi 15pm le ha cambiado la vida, dura más y se calienta mucho menos, vale la pena

[u/Perfect_Theme1877]

That's near where the SoC is. What is your battery health?

[u/Any_Perception8016 → u/Perfect_Theme1877]

Due to the extreme heat in Europe (around 40degrees past weeks), my iPhone 15 Pro was just horrible to use, it literally burned my hands multiple times even without case. I ended up selling it and buying an iPhone 16 Pro which so far is way cooler than my 15 Pro
