The 6 Most Common iPhone 15 Problems, Bugs and Fast Fixes [2024 Latest]

Part 1: The Most Common iPhone 15 (Plus/Pro/Pro Max) Problems

Here are all the 6 most common iPhone 15 problems with the solutions to eliminate them.

1. Unable to Activate iPhone 15

You just bought a brand new iPhone 15 and turned it on with the excitement of having a new experience, but only to find that it’s a message you’re unable to activate the iPhone 15. It’s a common issue that mostly happens in the early days of the launch of the iPhone's new lineup.

This problem can occur for various reasons. However, if you got it right after the launch, it could be due to Apple servers being busy. The loaded traffic on the Apple servers may fail to respond and cause this issue.

Besides this, it can happen if your cellular network doesn’t allow your iPhone to unblock, or Wi-Fi or cellular data isn’t working on the iPhone and fails to connect with the Apple servers.

2. iPhone 15 Won't Turn On

Sometimes, even the brand-new iPhone doesn’t turn on, which may happen with time. If your iPhone 15 isn’t turning on for the first time, this can occur due to the drained battery. Try charging it for a while and then see if it responds.

In order to turn on the iPhone 15, you need to hold the power/side button for a few seconds. Make sure you’re holding it right and the button is pressed properly - it should give you a tactile feel. If it still won’t turn on, there might be a minor software bug or glitch in the OS. Hard resetting it to reload the OS on the device.

3. iPhone 15 Battery Drain Fast

It’s not a good sign if your iPhone 15 battery drains fast, especially when it’s new. The battery timing can be problematic due to the old iOS version installed on the device. Apple rolls out new software updates frequently with improved performance and bugs fixed.

Check if newer software updates are available for your iPhone 15 in the settings. Besides, it also depends on the usage pattern and background process running on the device. Check which apps are consuming the most of the battery juice.

Go to Settings >> Battery and see which apps use excessive battery. Close the app's processes or uninstall them if you don’t use them. You can also save the battery life on your iPhone 15 by turning off the Bluetooth, location, Wi-Fi, and cellular data when not using it.

4. iPhone 15 (Pro Max) Overheating

the iPhone usually overheats while performing heavy tasks, such as playing an online game PUBG with high and extreme graphics, which activates the GPU unit, or doing Facetime, which turns on the camera. If so, close such an app or game and let the device achieve its optimum temperature.

Moreover, your iPhone 15 can also overheat or show an overheating message when charged in hot conditions like direct sunlight or a hot environment. A back case on the iPhone 15 also contributes to the heat factor, making it difficult for the heat to escape.

5. iPhone 15 Won't Charge

There can be several potential reasons for the iPhone 15 won’t charge. Normally, the iPhone shows a green indicator in the battery icon when charging. Firstly, check the charging cable and adapter you’re using. Make sure you’re using the Apple-certified adapter and a cable.

Try changing the lighting cable and the adapter to verify the issue. If the issue persists despite the original charger, try cleaning up the charging port. Sometimes, debris, dust, or lint can get into the port and cause charging issues. Use a soft material to clean the port, like a cotton bud or compressed air to clean it.

6. iPhone 15 Camera Problems

iPhone 15 camera problems can occur due to a software bug or glitch in the OS unless there's physical wear and tear. If you cannot open up the camera app on your iPhone 15, the issue lies in the iOS.

Try closing the camera app from the recent apps and then relaunch it. If the issue persists, restart your iPhone to refresh the system on the device. Updating the OS to the latest version is also a great option to deal with such bugs in the iPhone.

If your iPhone 15 camera still doesn't work after installing the latest iOS version, you may clear the Reset All Settings. For this, go to Settings >> General >> Transfer & Reset iPhone >> Select Reset All Settings option.

Part 4: iPhone 15 Hidden Features

iPhone 15 lineup comes with a new iOS 17, coming up with a bunch of new improvements and loaded with new features. To make your user experience even more exciting with the iPhone 15, we’ve compiled a list of iPhone 15 hidden features for you:

1. Contact Poster

The iOS 17 brings the contacts poster feature to the iPhone 15, which lets you customize the contact poster. To test this feature, go to the contact, on the top, tap on a section labeled as my card, then tap on contact photo and poster to see the customization page.

You can set the contact poster with an image, an emoji, or a monogram. This feature works great with a photo. Once you select an emoji, photo, or monogram, you can customize how you want it to appear on screen, such as playing with the size of the photo, font size, and color. You can also add filters to make your photos look even more themed and attractive.

2. Name Drop

All you need to do is bring two iPhones close to each other to connect their top sides; then, you’ll see a beautiful animation on a screen, confirming your contact has been shared. Similarly, you can also share photos between two iPhones. Go to a photo, hit the shared button, select the share sheet, and bring both iPhones closer.

3. Interactive Widget

The widgets are quite new to the iPhones, rolled out in iOS 16 for the first time. However, they weren’t as advanced as the widgets in Android. In iOS 17, the widgets have become interactive. For instance, now you can listen to the podcast just by hitting the play button on the widget, killing the need to open an entire podcast app.

Extra Tip: iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 14

Generally, when you see the iPhone 15, you might confuse it with the iPhone 14, as both look quite similar. However, Apple, in its advertisement, has claimed a completely new design, the iPhone 15, which actually is not very true. The appropriate word would be update designed.

You’ll not see any difference in the design of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 until you hold it in hand to feel the rails and edges are smoother now. Apple has retained the trend of keeping the iPhone lineup design boxy, which feels comfortable in hands because of rounded edges.

1. Camera

The camera department of the iPhone 15 has been upgraded with a new 48MP camera sensor. However, in the iPhone 14, Apple used the 12MP sensor for all the models. With the 48MP camera sensor update, you’ll see photos with more details and high resolutions.

Apple has also added a 5x telephoto camera, allowing you an optical zoom 5x. Apple claims the sensor size is too big for the iPhone Pro model, so it’ll only come in the iPhone 15 Pro Max model. The iPhone 14 came with a 12MP camera sensor and a 3x optical zoom sensor on the Pro Max model.

2. Battery

The battery department of all the iPhone 15 models has significant improvement. In the numbers, the iPhone 15 lineup is bigger than the iPhone 14. Also, Apple claims the iPhone 15 will offer a great battery life due to the new A17 chip.

3. Performance

The iPhone 15 will come with the A16 Bionic (4 nm), previously used in the iPhone 14 pro models. The iPhone 15 pro phones will be equipped with the newly built A17 Bionic, the first 3nm smartphone chip.

Apple claims the new A17 Bionic will provide greater performance and increased energy efficiency. The geekbench score of the new A17 bionic chip is nearly close to the M1 chip of a Macbook laptop.
