Q: Why is my newly purchased iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max getting hot and displaying messages that it needs to cool down?

and displaying messages that it needs to cool down? A: If your iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max is newly purchased and is displaying such messages, it's likely due to the phone downloading and indexing numerous apps and data after restoring a backup from an older device. This is a normal part of the setup process and can take up to a few days to complete, so it's usually nothing to worry about. Simply put your phone down and wait a few hours before using it again.

Q: What should I do if my iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max continues to overheat after the first week of use?

A: If your phone continues to display messages about needing to cool down after the first week or so and remains hot, it is advisable to take it to an Apple Store for diagnosis. This is not normal behavior and may indicate an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Q: What steps should I take if my iPhone becomes uncomfortably hot to touch?

A: If your iPhone ever gets so hot that it's uncomfortable to touch, stop using it immediately and turn it off if possible. Under regular operation, it shouldn't become hot enough to burn you. In such cases, you should contact Apple support for further assistance.
