iPhone 15 Pro Max getting very hot during FaceTime Video calls

Got the phone on Sep 22. Ofcourse it was getting hot and we all know about that.


installed the 17.0.3 today and even after that when I make FaceTime Video calls , the phone gets very hot just like before.


FWIW the screen is hotter than the back of the phone.


Anyone else experiencing the same?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Also the camera starts lagging to the point of the other person not even getting to see you, i upped to the 15 pro and i think i should have stayed with my 11 .. this is just miserable for the price we paid for it..

See if you need to clear lots of space. System resources may be using up too much services, making it overheat. Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
