=== iPhone 15 Pro thermal issues ===
Some users reported that some [[iPhone 15 Pro]] models were prone to overheating. Apple insisted that the overheating issue was related to a [[software bug]] and was not related to the new hardware or design in the [[iPhone 15 Pro]] models, which introduced a new titanium frame with an aluminum substructure to replace the stainless steel frame from the past several Pro models. Since iOS 17.0.3 was released, new reports surfaced of other overheating issues not related to fast-charging. The issue was resolved in iOS 17.1 after Apple fixed a software bug relating to the issue.<ref>{{Cite web |title=iPhone 15 Pro overheating: Thermal photos before and after iOS 17.0.3 |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/iphone-15-pro-overheating-thermal-photos-before-and-after-ios-17-0-3/ |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=ZDNET |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=New iPhone 15 Pro overheating reports: Still too hot after iOS 17.0.3 and fresh issues arise after the update |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/new-iphone-15-pro-overheating-reports-still-too-hot-after-ios-17-0-3-and-fresh-issues-arise-after-the-update/ |access-date=2023-10-23 |website=ZDNET |language=en}}</ref>
=== NFC issues on iPhone 15 Pro (BMW owner only) ===
A specific and concerning issue arose where some iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max owners experienced NFC chip failure, which impacted functionalities like Apple Pay and digital car keys, after wirelessly charging their device on certain BMW in-car charging pads. Affected users reported their iPhone entering a data recovery mode with a white screen, and upon reboot, the NFC chip would no longer function, often displaying a "Could Not Set Up Apple Pay" error message. Initially, some customers received replacement iPhones from Apple, but these replacement devices were also susceptible to the same issue when used with the problematic BMW chargers, indicating a broader compatibility or design flaw rather than isolated device defects.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-01 |title=Warning: BMW Wireless Charging May Break iPhone 15's Apple Pay Chip |url=https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/01/bmw-charging-may-break-iphone-15-nfc-chip/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231001135919/https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/01/bmw-charging-may-break-iphone-15-nfc-chip/ |archive-date=2023-10-01 |access-date=2023-10-01 |website=MacRumors |language=en}}</ref>
Apple attempted to address this issue with the iOS 17.1.1 and 17.2 updates. User reports after these updates were mixed but generally indicated improvement. Some users confirmed that the iOS 17.1.1 update fixed the problem, with their NFC functionality remaining intact even if the phone still experienced temporary overheating during wireless charging in the car. This suggests that while the underlying thermal load from some BMW wireless chargers might persist, Apple's software updates managed to prevent the NFC chip from failing permanently. The issue appears to have been a complex interaction between the phone's thermal management, the wireless charging pad's heat output, and the NFC chip's sensitivity, which Apple largely mitigated through software adjustments.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Chance |date=5 December 2023 |title=Apple says iOS 17.2 fixes iPhone wireless charging problems in 'certain vehicles' |url=https://9to5mac.com/2023/12/05/iphone-wireless-charging-gm-ios-17/ |website=9to5Mac}}</ref>
