Since the release of the iPhone 15 a few weeks ago, there have been a number of reports that the new smartphone may have the tendency to overheat when in use — especially when setting up the device for the first time. While Apple has acknowledged the issue, the company says that the iPhone 15 isn’t a safety or injury risk but they begun to push out software updates to fix any problems.
In the meantime, it might be a good idea to pick up some new accessories, like a phone case that can keep the iPhone 15 nice and cool.
We rounded up the best cooling phone cases that may prevent overheating. The cases below — which are made for the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max — are designed to lower temperatures, while also keeping the device scratch-free and protected from drops and dings.
