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.
