Warning For iPhone 15 Owners.. Dangerous technical issues Reported
Since its debut on September 22nd, the newly introduced line of models has been beset by several problems.
iPhone 15 Launch Hype
On September 12, Apple unveiled the iPhone 15, with preorders beginning on September 22 and worldwide availability on September 22. Customers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, waited hours to get this latest variant of the popular phone.
Notably, some tourists even flew in to purchase the handsets in bulk, while others engaged in reselling the devices online at nearly 50% above the original price.
Issues with the iPhone 15
However, despite the initial frenzy and excitement, users worldwide have started reporting several issues with their newly acquired iPhone 15 devices. Let's delve into some of these problems:
1. Overheating concerns
Many iPhone 15 users, particularly those with the Pro and Pro Max variants, have expressed concerns about their devices overheating. Numerous complaints on Apple's community forum have highlighted this issue.
One user noted, "I've recently purchased the new iPhone 15 Pro Max, and it is heating up even when I'm not using it. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if it might be a setting that is causing it that I can turn off."Another user commented, "I just got the iPhone 15 Pro today, and it's so hot I can't even hold it for very long!"
In response, Apple acknowledged the problem and issued a brief statement to the Associated Press. They mentioned their efforts to develop an update for the iOS 17 system, which powers the iPhone 15 lineup, aimed at preventing the devices from becoming uncomfortably hot. Additionally, they are collaborating with app developers to address issues where certain apps overload the system, leading to overheating.
2. Data Transfer Challenges
Some loyal iPhone users encountered difficulties transferring their data from their old iPhones to the new iPhone 15. Apple promptly released an iOS 17.0.2 software update in an attempt to resolve these issues. However, several users reported that the problems persisted. Apple's recommended solution involves placing the device into Device Firmware Update mode and restoring it using a computer.
3. Titanium Frame Discoloration
Another concern that emerged pertains to the titanium frame, a new feature in the iPhone 15. Some users have noticed that the color of this frame has changed over time. Apple addressed this issue in its support document, attributing the discoloration to fingerprints and skin oil coming into contact with the frame. They advised users to restore the original color by gently wiping the device with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
While the iPhone 15 launch generated significant excitement and demand, these reported issues highlight the importance of continuous product improvement and customer support for Apple as they work to address these concerns and provide solutions for their users.
