It seems it’s not the iPhone that is causing the heat problem, apparently it’s Instagram that is causing the overheating. Even when not running in the background. There seems to be a setting in Insta, where live activities is on. I don’t use instagram, I don’t have the 15 pro yet, but those who do and don’t have Instagram, have no heating problems.
lol, only social media I have and that is NOT causing anything on my 15PM.
so let’s come up with another lie. Shall we

How to disable these live feature?

Is there any other setting? My phone is getting warm but something seems to run in the background which I can’t see in battery stats at the moment. It’s not shown up there

Is anyone else having touchscreen issues on the 15 pro max? Typing is not smooth and you have to consistently tap twice when clicking things on the screen. I am praying this is just software and this update fixes it.
 
Will there be an issue restoring from a 17.1 backup? If I downgrade to 17.0.2
 
Please check this video out, seems like the Instagram is the problem.

It may be an isolated incident, trust ME, mine is fine, I abuse IG. Also I don’t like Apple of late, I upgraded only enticed by the enhanced recycle value. My 13PM is still crying for me, tut.

Let's find out if this issue also affects Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, apps that need to often need a lot of data access. And will the problem occur when connected to WiFi?

I don't see anything in Settings about live activities, except limiting who can see your story or live videos.
Somebody in the comments on that video made the point. I’m only the messenger. A lot of people confirmed what he was hypothesizing, seems iPhonedo might be on to something.

Maybe they fixed the color changing option in standby. What a mistery. It showed up for me just now btw.
Update. Nope. Still can’t change the color. Anyone else??
