Apple fans are saying iPhone 15 series mobile phones are hot, quite literally.

As reported by Mashable, the devices experienced thermal issues during charging, recording 4k videos and intense gaming sessions.

As per reports, the phones sometimes get so hot that it becomes uncomfortable to hold them in hands.

According to experts, this problem can be solved with a software update.

Some also say the problem might be caused by compromises made during manufacturing to “achieve a lighter weight.”

Blemishes

Some users reported that dirt, fingerprints and other blemishes were glaringly visible on an otherwise flashy titanium body. Some have also reported display alignment issues.

But soon, other users cited an Apple article to dismiss these claims.

“For iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, the oil from your skin might temporarily alter the color of the outside band. Wiping your iPhone with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth will restore the original look," the company had said.
