iPhone 15 Pro Max displays false temperature warning on iOS 27

iOS 27 False Temperature Warning – iPhone 15 Pro Max


Is anyone else experiencing a “iPhone needs to cool down” temperature warning on iOS 27 even when the phone is completely cool/at normal temperature?


I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 27.0.1. The warning appears repeatedly despite there being no noticeable heating. It started after updating to iOS 27.


Has anyone experienced the same issue, and did iOS 27.0.1 or the 27.2 beta fix it for you? Any confirmed solution or response from Apple would be appreciated.

My understanding is Apple Support has acknowledged a fix is in the works and should be included in the next general release. It’s certainly possible the iOS 27.0.1 should include a fix, but I haven’t seen any independent confirmation. I don’t see a downside to updating and if I was affected, I’d update. Sorry.

Has the phone ever gotten wet?
