Many owners of new iPhone models complain about an unexpected problem. The iPhone 15 battery heats up and discharges very quickly. The iPhone 15 battery overheating problem is also recognized by Apple, which promises to fix this problem with a software update. Therefore, it is important to ensure that your iPhone is always updated to the latest iOS version.
According to Apple's statements, the overheating is mainly attributed to two distinct issues.
According to the company, it's normal for an iPhone to generate more heat in the first few days after setup, as the device works hard in the background to initialize all processes. It indexes and downloads all your apps and data, and if you've restored your iPhone from a backup and have an extensive collection of photos, the download process may take some time. This can lead to overheating of the device and battery life issues.
Therefore, if you have initialized your new iPhone from a backup and your iPhone 15 battery is heating up, you will need to wait a while for the overheating issue to go away.

Another source of this problem, identified by Apple, comes from certain third-party apps, such as Instagram, Uber and Asphalt. While Instagram has already released an update to fix the issue (please make sure you're using the latest version of the app), Apple is working directly with other developers to fix this issue. Until it is fully resolved, users are advised to limit the use of Uber and Asphalt apps to prevent overheating and rapid battery drain.
What can you do if your iPhone 15 battery gets hot and drains quickly?
When your iPhone 15 battery overheats, make sure your device has the latest version of iOS and keep all installed apps up to date. If the problem persists after a longer time, a solution is to enable "Low Power Mode" to limit the background processes of applications.
