Overheating indeed. Workaround : use lower powered USB connection
Apple plans to release an iOS 17 update to address a bug that may contribute to the reported iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating issue, according to a statement the company shared today with MacRumors and Forbes reporter David Phelan.
Apple also says some recent updates to third-party apps have overloaded the system and contributed to the overheating issue. The report notes that some of these apps include Instagram, Uber, and the racing game Asphalt 9: Legends, and Apple is working with the developers of these apps to address the issue. The report adds that Instagram already introduced a fix as part of an update to the app released on Wednesday.
Apple says iPhone 15 Pro models may run warmer than expected during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device due to increased background activity. This is standard behavior for new iPhones and only a temporary condition.
Apple's statement:The bug should be fixed with iOS 17.1, which is currently in beta and is expected to be released in late October. It's quite possible that Apple might also make a bug fix available sooner with a smaller software update, such as iOS 17.0.3.
According to the report, Apple will not be reducing the performance of the A17 Pro chip as part of the temperature-related bug fix. Apple also said the issue is not a safety risk and will not impact the long-term performance of affected iPhones.
Apple said the iPhone 15 Pro's titanium frame and aluminum substructure do not contribute to the overheating issue, ruling out a hardware problem.
Not all iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users have experienced overheating, and it's unclear how many customers are affected by the issue overall, but it should be resolved soon.

Oh, really? Because the camera shaking bug on 3rd party apps on the iPhone 14 Pro was fixed with a software update: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/22/apple-releases-ios-16-0-2/
I don’t know where else to post this to get enough attention so I’ll post it everywhere.

My iPhone 15 Pro overheated while I was on a plane using Airplane Mode. I was using the Watch app to change the settings of my Apple Watch. I’ve had my new phone for over 9 days.
Apple says it’s an issue only with third party apps and/or background activity in the first few days. This was NOT the case for me. My iPhone 15 Pro was the hottest any of my iPhones have ever felt (unless it was in direct sunlight and I owned an iPhone 12 Pro Max prior) and the 15 Pro didn’t cool down until I stopped making changes using the Watch app.
I’m debating whether to trade my phone back in…
To be fair, if the do that, they have in fact solved the problem as reported ( I paraphrase ) " the phone gets fing hot", the solution might not be optimal because it treats the symptom not the cause p, but it does not alter that fact that ( if it works) the phone does not get fing hot any more. And before someone accuses me of being apple apple shill ( which I'm not btw) I would say the same if this was about a pixel overheating after an android upgrade
Not to mention the complaints about phones showing up with poor quality control: gaps, bad /dirty screens etc.

Thankfully, Apple’s ability to patch their own problems is not dependent on whether other people can understand how these software patches work.
If Apple says there won’t be throttling, I am inclined to give them the benefit of a doubt until the patch is released and we can then reevaluate the situation.
Just out of interest what was the ambient temp,when it overheated, was it in direct sunlight what (if ant case/cocer was on the phone?
I am still waiting for my iPhone 15 Pro Max to get hot. Been using it for the last 6 days and apart from the first day when it gets a little warmer, it has been very cool since. I tried running intensive games, editing photos, browsing Instagram for hours, and the bloody phone never gets hot.
To be honest, I start to think my phone is defective. Should I get a replacement?

But in reading more and more about this whole thing, it turns out that there is more than just Meta that is having problems. Apple would for marketing reasons single out a large player like Meta as Instagram and Facebook is more likely to be installed on more iPhones than other apps that are also having similar problems with causing the iPhone to overhead.
Then when you take a look at multiple iPhone's are having battery issues it tends to look like the problem is more deeper than reported. what would cause the battery inside a phone to not last as long? Well, if the processor is doing useless computation and thus generating heat then that would kill off a battery in two ways as a hot battery doesn't last as long. But older iPhone's don't have the latest A17 chip so perhaps the phone doesn't get exceptionally hot but is still eating up the battery.
My point is not that the hardware of the iPhone 15pro is bad, but more that Apple has put themselves under a self imposed deadline to release a new phone for the christmas market and the sales of new iPhone model trumps the readyness of IOS17 that is needed to support it. So Apple will release a new iOS well before it is ready to meet the market cycle rather than delay it for 2-3 months needed to get it working right
Problem solved: a well-meaning software engineer at Apple slipped in a copy of SETI@home. Apple's next iPhone update will remove it before the truth is revealed.
It depends, this has clearly, very clearly been overblown for clicks and traffic on these "news" sites. My take is the story comes out, people get their iPhone 15 Pro and feel its hot. Not pay attention to the fact there doing an iCloud restore which made every single iPhone I've had do that kind of restore... So they freak out, etc...
It's an issue, sure, a small, minor one that'll be quickly corrected.
Time to look for something new.
I agree, it is time to look for something new, and it won't be long before the next Apple issue pops up. That I can assure you.
FWIW, I got a 15PM and it hasn't gotten hot on me. I also don't generally run graphically intensive apps, though I will allow for the possibility some of my apps are poorly coded; my 12PM would get fairly warm at times. I could just be lucky, or rather not unlucky, I suppose.
When I charge my phone using the Apple cable, the thing gets so freaking hot Until it gets to about 80% or so and then it completely cools down only issue I am having with a warm battery so far

Hi—can you tell me what the camera was doing? (If it isn’t what everyone else has mentioned about the 14 Pro.) I hate my 14 with the heat of 1000 suns. Or 1000 iPhones.
When I saw the article about the overheating issue with the 15’s and the fix, I thought to myself, “But what about me?” 
I’ve had overheating issues (the yellow triangle warning) MANY times with my 14 Pro Max. I can’t use my sleep/noise app a full night without it killing a fully-charged battery and making it overheat. (When I used it with my XR, the battery life barely budged.) I took it in to the Apple Store and she did some software update voodoo, to no avail. (I won’t address the idiocy about restoring my phone from backup.) The flickering is a huge issue, too.
This, along with me either A. Not knowing what I’m doing wrong, with my camera usage, despite reading how to do it or B. It’s not operator error at all and it’s the camera’s fault …. Makes me feel nothing but regret about upgrading. (Because aren’t I supposed to have this amazing camera that I should be doing amazing things with?)
There is passionate hate about Meta products here, but I’m willing to bet there are many minor 3P apps that are part of the problem. (Possibly the sleep app above? Who knows?) I just hope that the love and care the 15 Pro is getting is helpful to some of us 14 Pro losers. I know a small sample set doesn’t make an issue, but this is my first iPhone I’ve felt this way about.

You’ve got some legitimate issues but I have to ask, why don’t you charge it overnight in conjunction with your sleep app??When I saw the article about the overheating issue with the 15’s and the fix, I thought to myself, “But what about me?”

You can, all you need is backup your iphone, open the backup folder, and find there the file "Info.plist" from your last backup, in then you need to find the string "Product Version", like in example:
<key>Product Version</key>
<string>17.0</string>
<key>Serial Number</key>
<string>12345qwert12</string>
In your file it's be:
<key>Product Version</key>
<string>17.1</string>
All you need is change the "17.1" to "17.0.2", and save the file. Now you can restore your iphone with ios 17.0.2 ipsw file, and restore from your last backup(make sure the file you change, it's your last backup, and you saved changes, of the product version).
I have and do, tbh. When I don’t it’s inadvertent. Last night, though, I tried a different app and it didn’t help. (Sometimes, I like to troubleshoot on my own. lol) It’s funny because I will always be a fanboi, I admit it. (My work sent me a Samsung, and it was basically a doorstop. I did all of my dogfooding letting a managed client “possess” my iPhone. lol) But that and my camera perplexity makes me long for the iPhone of yore.
Hi, I've done all that, but I can't get to the backup point at all. After doing a restore with the IPSW version of IOS 17.0.2, after a while I get an error message 4013 and that's it. Just for info, I use a USB-C thunderbolt 3 data cable. As far as I read in the forums this is a downgrade problem especially with 17.1 beta 1.
I bought the phone on launch day and it was making crackle like sounds. It was a big thing, apple had to release a statement saying it was going to release a software fix, which did in fact stopped the camera from doing it, but the reality was that the optical image sensor and other things had been damaged. So your camera wouldn’t stabilize for example. For me the issue was that the camera just couldn’t interpret light, so anytime you would try to take a picture where there was a lot of light it would show up horrible.
Anyway, I wasn’t able to send the phone back to apple last year because they told me I would need to wait 1 or 2 months for a replacement, so I waited until three weeks ago just a day before the guarantee expired. They repaired the rear camera and apparently there was something wrong with the TrueDepth and the battery because they replaced them too. At least I have a brand new battery with 100% capacity and It took them less than a week.
Still flaming. (Let it go, ffs.)
After spending $1,000+, Apple customers have every right to report on an overheating personal experience that Apple has since acknowledged and to speculate as to the cause — during the period when ZERO information existed as to the cause.
And you’re still calling every one of these people — who were proven RIGHT — “below average intelligence.”
(I think you may have it in reverse.)
And when their iPhones FROZE and stopped working and displayed a message literally saying their iPhone was too hot and needed to cool down before it could work again, was it because they were “STOOPUD”?! It was actually subjectively “warm,” not hot?! (Tell that to the phones that froze up. Tell the phones they’re being babies.)
I’d say, “give it up and let it go,” but you’re obviously the type who can’t. (Baby.)
Always be yourself. Never change your haughty, snotty, stubborn persona. Society needs to see clear examples of people like you.
(btw, she’s 100% right about you.)
