I noticed that my phone is getting very warm while listening music over BT with airpods. The issue was resolved after turning off BT. After turning BT back on the phone got warm again.
Anyone else having the same issue?

Hello! So, there is an iOS 17 bug is causing iPhone 15 Pros to overheat when using Bluetooth. Apple has sent out a software fix to help alleviate the issue. If you haven't updated your iOS since the initial roll-out, go ahead and give it a try.
It's worth noting that the overheating issue is not limited to Bluetooth usage. The issue reportedly occurred during a variety of conditions. Some users noticed it while charging their 15 Pros, while others found that heat would generate while chatting on the phone. Without an official response from Apple, the running theory pointed to the new A17 Bionic chip. Apple’s latest and greatest is the most powerful chip the company ever put in a smartphone—perhaps it was too powerful. It seemed possible we were looking at a 2018 MacBook Pro situation, where the Intel i9 chip generated too much heat for the computer’s thin chassis to properly disperse. However, Apple eventually publicly commented on the overheating issue, identifying three main culprits: First, Apple says iPhone 15 Pros may overheat during initial setup or after restoring the device, since there is an unusual amount of background activity during these periods. Second, a bug in iOS 17 itself can cause overheating problems, and Apple promises an imminent update to fix it. Third, certain app updates have caused the software to “overload the system,” which can lead to overheating as well. The company specifically calls out Instagram, Uber, and the game Asphalt 9, but it’s possible other apps are at fault as well ¹.
