Re: Users report iPhone 15 is overheating
#22I have an iPhone XR, started getting very hot after I upgraded to iOS 17, especially when charging. Seems to be mostly resolved now though after I upgraded to iOS 17.0.2 but gets hot occasionally.

#23Apple has put such an emphasis on increasing the performance of their mobile chips and honestly I just don’t know why at this point. I don’t need nor want to play Resident Evil 4 Remake on my phone. I much rather have more battery life. With that said I suspect this is probably a software issue and can probably be resolved with an update.
On the hand, I agree. But on the other hand, I love the innovation here, because it could lead us to a day where your phone is your computer. Plug it into a keyboard and monitor and get to work.
I don't Like how the phone merges the utility of a camera,and watch. Or the ebook reader replaces the book. (Or IPod to iPhone)
I don't agree with the concept of merging of their functions, as it impacts their utility.
You lose the essence of its purpose.
And on the other hand, I think it would be a win if Apple could merge the functionality of the iPhone with the Apple Watch, but given it eat into the bottom line of competing products, would they?
Would they allow the iPhone to impact MacBook sales for example.
When Apple is able to replace the iPhone with an Apple Watch, I think that is a win for utility.

#2415 Pro Max here. Ran VERY hot during first backup/data transfer and setup to the point where it actually flashed up the “too hot to charge” warning.
Since then, not a single issue with temperature and it feels cooler running than my previous 11 Pro Max.

Because they _really_ want the next gen to be able to run big LLMs locally. Or an alternative argument, they need it as a powerful companion to their Vr "stuff". Although I'm in favour of the first option. Why? I think running LLMs locally may be seen as a big differentiator of their devices. What else can apple do that makes their phones do more than competition?
It's like with their laptops. I briefly considered buying their laptop with M2 ultra just for the amount of ram it makes available for ML/AI (until, I saw the price in Europe that is).

#26Now there is an aftermarket opportunity for heatsink cases until iPhone 16 will introduce active cooling and in-pocket sensitive throttling.

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
Indexing what - photos?
It needs to identify each dog in your photos library to put them in their own album and figure out which dogs or people to suggest for the photo widget. Which is to say it’s not unimaginable that photo indexing is part of it.
If so it’s a ridiculous trade off to make.
Someone spending $1000-2000 doesn’t want a hot draining phone just so they can search “dog” in their photo album on day 1 or 2.
They should throttle it - much better to tell the user the feature isn’t ready yet or something. Or you know, give the user the choice of running that feature fast or slow - but that would be anathema to Apple.
Ps I am an Apple fan boi. Own lots of Apple devices

#28I like covering my phones with DBrand skins. Wonder how much that would affect the thermals.

I think we’re already there, but Apple is afraid to pull the plug on this as it would cannibalise so much of their other products

Software easily would take all gains in hardware performance. I did not measure in seconds but I have a strong impression that an app (a ticket booking service, nothing which should require a powerful CPU) become considerably slower in the last couple years. So phones have to become faster and faster just to keep the same user experience in the face of increasing software bloat.
