Frequently asked questions
Is an overheating phone dangerous?
It can be — repeated overheating accelerates battery wear and in rare cases causes battery swelling, which can crack the back glass or the screen from inside. If your phone is too hot to hold comfortably during normal use, get it checked the same week.
Will replacing the battery fix overheating?
In about 70% of cases, yes — aged batteries draw more current and run hotter. Battery replacement at Phone Dudes starts at ₹1,599 with a 6-month warranty. We confirm the exact cause via free diagnosis before charging.
My iPhone 15 Pro overheats during charging — is this fixable?
Yes. Some iPhone 15 / 16 Pro units have a known thermal-design issue exaggerated by aged batteries or charging-IC drift. We diagnose and fix this on-site — usually with a fresh OEM battery and thermal paste reapplication. We've handled hundreds of these cases.
