Apple just released 17.0.3 to fix the overheating issue. 🤞

Can a poll be added to this post. I have an iPhone 15 and charged the phone couple of times in my g20 2019. No issue so far. I’m reading here that people who got it all had an iPhone15 Pro Max …

[StevenDS85]

Please mention your iPhone type and your BMW model/year. Wonder if anybody has the issue in a g20 2019.

Here are my details, my phone was a week old when it died.

iPhone 15 Pro Max
2023 G82 M4

My iPhone 14 Pro seems to bake less when I use a case that is truly Magsafe compatible. Have others found the same? How about without a case?

This might be a non-factor here, just curious...

Installing now...thanks for the heads up!

Sadly I don’t use the wireless charging because it doesn’t fit in my M5 even with a thin case.

Anybody fried their phone on a G82 2022?

Luckily my car has 0 of these capabilities! 🤣☠️

Can we just disable the wireless charging function in the car? Pulling a fuse or cable? I would like this very much and just use that spot to park my phone.

Used the wireless charging tray once but didnt kill my phone

Get a piece of sheet metal and put it on top of the charger — should prevent it from charging your phone

If you have Apple care it won’t matter as they are very good at covering accidental damage etc, just having the warranty might be another story

I was using the charger and apple car play

Apple would cover it under the standard warranty.

I doubt they’d be able to point fingers at BMW on this one. My car has had its wireless charger for 4 years and I’ve used it with my iPhone for that whole time.

If my 15 Pro has an issue that my 4 previous iPhones didn’t. Then Apple needs to sort it out.

I wonder if today’s overheating patch in iOS 17.0.3 for the iPhone 15 is that fix.

This update provides important bug fixes, security updates, and addresses an issue that may cause iPhone to run warmer than expected.

I have just installed it but reluctant to try it simply because I don’t want to brick my phone again.

Wait for the blind sheep to continue

Absolutely, same with Siri

I turn Siri off on my iPad for improved daily battery usability

MY 2022 G82 was purchased at the end of covid and due to a "chips" shortage/ and shipping delays in 2022, my M4 came without "wireless charging."

[PresM850i]

One suggestion: I noticed how hot my Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel Fold got when charging in the M850i. I now keep the door open to vent heat. Its not perfect, but it seems much cooler. Loose the look of the Carbon fiber, but better than bricking the phone!

Can we also add if people are using a case or not?

I’m on iPhone 14 pro with a wireless charge compatible case.

No problems for me. But I will not use it until someone from either bmw or Apple confirms something.

[DanG]

New release of iPhone software said it was to correct phone overheating.

I am using a case but it’s a apple case with magsafe so shouldn’t be an issue. Had the same case for my 14 pro max
