Hi everyone

Iphone 15 gets quite warm while charging with apple 20W adapter, on the left side it is difficult to even touch, as soon as it reaches ~75% battery level, it starts cooling down and this problem is not observed after 75% charging (even at 90 or 100%), only till 70-75% phone gets heated.

Did anyone observe the same? software is updated.

Thanks all for response, just to update that apple released 17.0.3, I updated it y'day but today more or less I felt it didn't improve upon the issue upon charging.

I felt it was getting hot in the same manner as it was before update, though update did mention 'phone getting warm' among the fixes.

If you also updated to the latest update, pls share your feedback. I have to remove the case when I charge for proper heat dissipation, I feel in the long run it may impact the components/battery.

Hi, have a new iPhone 15 plus doing this same thing. Very hot when charging, especially the left side and have the upgrade. Just wondering if you were able to resolve this issue or if it’s just something you are dealing with?

Most people are unaware that the charger in built into the phone. Whether you use 20w or 35w charging plug won't make any difference. And warm is 100% normal when charging a battery. It's impossible for a charging battery NOT to put out heat. It's the physics of charging.

My iPhone 15 pro max was charging and at 80% a error came up that said it would finish charging after it cooled down so I unplugged it

When i am charging the phone with 30w or 40w adapter there is no heating issue. Have anyone tried charging with different adapter? Can we use 30w adapter for charging?

I am using iPhone 15 plus for 3 days now. I am facing same issue as everybody here. It’s significantly hot (not warm) while charging even after software update and battery optimisation.
