iPhone 15’s Rough First Week: Overheating and FineWoven Flops

When a new iPhone launches, people love a controversy. But the iPhone 15 has had an especially rough start with reports of overheating, rough-looking FineWoven cases, and dramatic drop tests. CNET’s Bridget Carey looks into which complaints are a real cause of concern.

The fine woven case is a no go. I’ve had it for a day and a 1/2 and it’s already picking up all kind of stains from lotion on my hands to I guess dirt. Don’t waste your money on it.

The sock thing was brilliant - who remembers the actual iPod Socks Apple brought out in 2004? Weren't they like £50 os something for the set? The £20 cleaning cloth was merely a twinkle.

I love the humorous and bubbly style of presentation Bridget has. Makes it enjoyable to watch her videos

Just to clarify on Zack's bend test, remember he did the same on the other iPhone 15s it was only the 15 pro max that cracked so easily signifying a design flaw. 😊

iam planning to buy the 15 pm as many say the battery life is good and not overheating but some say its not, iam confused whether to buy or not?

I think the issue is that every other recent iPhone that JerryRigEverything tested has survived the bend test, and so have the 15, Plus, and Pro models. It's just the 15 Pro Max that cracked.

I have an iPhone 12. After the iOS 17.0.2 update I noticed my phone in silicone case feeling really hot during a 15 min photo taking session; something I’d never had before in 3 years. I didn’t know about the overheating issue until I looked it up.

Great video! My iphone 15 pro heats more that usual even while listening to Spotify. Is it untouchable? No. Is it normal? I don't think so either.
I get it if fast charge or running benchmarks heats them up... but Spotify? A bit disappointed honestly

I really love Bridget reviews, fun and good crazy :D

[dstruxion]

I love your reviews and it's funny I did the same thing with my S23 putting a sock until my case arrive 😂

Brings me back when i also used colorful socks to house my slab phone. 😂

Well having a dig at Jerry Rig Everything is a low blow, plenty of phones pass his bend test while the Pro failed spectacularly.

I have the 15 pro. And I was surprised at how hot it gets with normal use

[docluv]

I’ve had the iPhone 15 pro for a week.
The only time I experienced it being quite hot 🔥 was when I first bought it and it was DL the backup from iCloud.
It hasn’t been an issue since that first hour of ownership.

My 15 pro has been AMAZING and hasn’t gotten too hot at all

[MrSpock]

First setup, the phone did get hot but not toasty hot. So far have not experienced any toastiness to my iphone in my everyday use.

Since day one, I’ve been using a MagSafe wireless charger for my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and so far no overheating issues. Hearing other people having issues, I’m too scared to use a wired charger.

[ozielsolis]

Mine only got hot after an update, after that it’s been fine, guess the update finishes installing in the background

My 15 Pro Max got uncomfortably hot while on a 1 hour phone call, the phone was sitting unused on my desk while on a call and after the call the battery life dropped from 100% as this was the start of my day all the way down to 44% this is not normal despite many people saying that their phone is just fine mine definitely is not!

Love Bridget’s fabulous humorous but informative presenting style, she is the best presenter on CNet & one of the best tech presenters on YouTube
