A Redditor posted a photo of what happened to his iPhone 15 Pro Max when it overheated and melted the USB-C charging cable.
Hey, here’s a picture you don’t see much on social media. On Reddit, subscriber NoisilyMarvellous posted a photo showing what happened when his iPhone 15 Pro Max overheated so much, it melted the plastic on the charging cable. As the poster wrote, “I knew the iPhone 15 Pro Max gets hot, but a month into use mine got so hot while charging overnight that it literally left a burn on my finger. When I took the charger off, it had melted some of the plastic, left burn marks on the body and stuck the metal part of the USB-C port into the phone.”
The Redditor also posted some questions such as “How can I remove this? Also, is this a problem of the phone, the charging cable or the plug? I have had Optimised Charging switched on. I don’t have AppleCare, is this something Apple will fix?” First of all, we’d suggest that a trip to the Apple Store or an Apple-certified repair center be made before you attempt to pull out the cord.
