Most Common iPhone 15 Problems and How to Fix Them

Since the launch of iPhone15we have seen that they bring many improvements compared to their predecessors, from a new titanium frame, the new Dinamyc Island, and of course also the new USB-C in all models.

The phones also come with the latest iOS 17 software, as well as processor and camera improvements, like every year. But it is true that since Apple launched them on the market last year, These new iPhones suffered some problems, we have already discussed some of them here, some more common than others, so we will see the most common problems on iPhone 15 and how to fix them. Go for it!

Charging issues

One of the most common issues iPhone 15 users are currently facing is related to charging. The problems range from slow charging or random reboots while chargingalthough some users are also reporting issues with optimized loading not working properly.

Here are the possible solutions:

• The first thing you should try if your iPhone is not charging is, as always, try restarting itcan often be the solution to many problems.
• To restart iPhone, quickly press and release the volume up button, then immediately press and release the volume down button. Next, hold down the Side button and release it only after the Apple logo appears on the screen.
• Although this may seem obvious, you should also Check the connectionsboth the plug itself and the correct connection of the cable at both points.
• If you have any issues with a third-party charger, whether it’s the charging plug itself or the cable, maybe the official 20W Apple charger is the best optionas well as the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with the phone.

Issues where the phone seems to stop charging after slightly increasing the charge also appear to be related to optimized charging. To check this, follow these steps:

• First go to Settings > Battery > Battery health and charging > Charging optimization
• Now select None. Setting it to Optimized Charge or an 80% limit will prevent the phone from fully charging, but it’s better for battery health in the long run.

Users claim that the phone’s overheating issues might have also played a role in its charging issues. iOS 17.0.3 update fixed the overheating issue, so make sure you have updated your phone. It’s also best to let your phone cool down or turn it off before plugging it into the charger.

Most users don’t report any issues with wireless charging, so you might want to try that option as well.

Wi-Fi connection problems

More and more iPhone 15 users are complaining about the Wi-Fi connection problems. Issues range from slow or fluctuating Wi-Fi speeds to the phone displaying a “no network connection” error. Let’s look at the possible solutions:

• With slow or fluctuating Wi-Fi speeds, users say a simple reset or restart of the Wi-Fi temporarily fixes the problem. And although you may have to do this several times a day, the Wi-Fi connection returns to the expected speed.
• The last issue is limited to a few users and is not a very widespread problem. Some iPhone 15 owners claim that Wi-Fi automatically turns back on at night when they turn it off. This happens when Wi-Fi is turned off using the phone’s Control Center. In this case, it is configured to activate automatically the next day. To turn off Wi-Fi for longer, you’ll need to go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn it off there.. You will check if this is done correctly, when the Wi-Fi icon in the Control Center is neither blue nor shaded.

Problems with Apple CarPlay, it doesn’t work properly

Many users are facing issues with Apple CarPlay not working as expected. It either doesn’t connect, runs slowly, or crashes from time to time. Let’s look at the possible causes and their solutions:

• I have to admit that I also suffered from this “problem”. And after thinking about it a thousand times, checking the settings of the iPhone, the car, the connection port… I was finally able to verify that the problem was indeed with the cable. When using a third-party cable (I didn’t realize this), it can happen, as happened to me, that for an indefinite period of time it works correctly, but one day it stops suddenly, for no reason, to work. It’s so easy to fix it, like Use an original Apple cable and connect like this.
• Users also say that wireless adapters for using CarPlay do not work properly. There are a few options on Amazon, true, but they aren’t cheap, and you might be better off continuing to use the cable until the problem is resolved,
• Your best bet is to switch to a wired connection until a software update is available to resolve the issue.

Persistent notifications on iPhone

Some users claim that notification alerts tend to persist even after reading the message or email or checking the call log for missed calls. In order to resolve this issue, simply follow these steps:

• First go to Settings > Notifications > (app in question) to turn off notifications.
• Now restart your phone and then turn notifications back on. Persistent notifications should disappear, as mentioned by users who experienced this issue.

Unable to configure Face ID correctly

Some users say they can’t find Face ID and Passcode options in the Settings menu. This is a rare error, but let’s see how to resolve it:

• You will first need to go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Passcode.
• If this is enabled and set to “Not allow”, you will not be able to access Face ID on your phone. Set it to “To allow” or remove all restrictions to regain the security function.

Titanium chassis changes color

This problem is perhaps the most common, the most reported and one of the most annoying because you see it every time you have the iPhone in your hand. Users report that the titanium frame is a huge fingerprint magnet, and some also notice some discoloration after a few weeks of use. There are no solutions as such, but there are some tips.

Apple claims that oil from our skin could temporarily change the color of the titanium frame. They suggest cleaning the phone with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth to restore its normal color. Being a fingerprint magnet, you will need to clean the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max regularly to keep it in pristine condition.

This change in the material used in both the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, leaving aside stainless steel for brushed titanium, has allowed the iPhones to be lighter and more ergonomic in the hand, also thanks to their rounded edges.

But it turns out that the titanium design is actually not as durable as stainless steel, Titanium is stiffer, so any impact must be dispersed to other areas of the device, which in this case would mean that the front and rear windows could suffer cracks from said impact.

So if you are worried about the durability of the titanium frame, the best solution is to put your iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max in a case.

conclusion

There’s always hype around Apple’s new iPhone releases, and the new iPhone 15 is no exception, as you would expect. It is a commercial success, but that does not mean that they are perfect, they can improve, because as you have seen, several problems have already been reported with the devices, and we have only had them since some months.

The good news is that most problems are fixed quite simply and you can fix them yourself. The only one that I didn’t mention today, but on other days, is the screen burn-in problem, which requires a visit to the Apple Store.

While the iPhone 15 is undoubtedly a great device, there are some issues that the device faces that we, the users, suffer from. Most of them revolve around battery, overheating, some lags… but like I said, they are easily fixed by following the tips in the article.

You should also keep in mind that there is always a lot of hate surrounding Apple launches and new devices released by the company. As always, I hope this article on the most common iPhone 15 problems and how to fix them helped you.
