#192What you can do as a consumer is.. not buy new iPhones? I don't mean as like a protest or anything. I mean just don't buy your iPhones new. They don't change much anymore, you can get caught out by this or Antennagate (or any other type of issue you get to encounter as a first mover), and the changes between years are genuinely minimal now. The iPhone came out in 2007. The iPhone 4 came out in 2010. The leap from the…
This is what I've been wanting to do, but I've found the used iPhone prices to be frustratingly high. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but I can't even find a base iPhone 13 for less than ~$550. Does it really make sense to buy a 2 year old model for 30% less than the brand new version? Sure, there haven't been many meaningful improvements in the past two years, but its still two fewer years of software s…
The premium apple products get on the second hand market is consistent so you can factor your own sale of the device further down the line in to your decision making.

Antennagate was 100% bogus, they changed nothing in the phone's design and the complaints died down. The same thing with the bendgate, that one had people going to Apple stores to bend display iPhones

#194This is some kind of bug with throttling not being applied i guess, but I'd very much like Apple to test their devices outside a constant temperature dust free office. Right now it shuts down when it's too cold (and i mean like 0 C from personal experience, in my stopped car in winter), shuts down when it's too hot (car in summer). Keyboards fail if you dare to use them outdoors and are irreplaceable. Can they afford…
I have a BMW with only CarPlay (no Android Auto). Missus has an Android. So my phone was the GPS, even when she was driving. Because BMW only has Wireless Carplay the phone heats up like crazy. I don't understand why... my phone needs to be plugged in anyway because of the battery drain of the GPS and constant calculations of the screen. Why not utilize that as a means to send the screen data, allowing the WiFi chip…
Reminded me of when BMW put iPhone slots in their car, only for it to be quickly outmoded with an iPhone connector change.

#195GSMArena bought two iPhone 15 Pro Max from different retailers to test the overheating issue and they were unable to replicate it. > Lastly, we did read reports of overheating iPhones, some during fast charging. For this review, we used two iPhone 15 Pro Max units, obtained from different retailers, and neither of those became unbearably hot even after an hour of GPU stress testing. Warm, rather unpleasantly (but not…
When I sue full 20W charging, my iPhone 14 Pro gets warm, surprisngly so. That's a lot of power going into a small space. My wife's does the same.

Apple supports the published specs of an operating temp between 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C). Your comment implying they don't test outside dust free "California temperatures" is simply not true.
there are many regions where the outside temp is below 32 degrees for large parts of the year
You are correct. I shouldn't have responded the way I did. As someone who worked on the iPhone it was frustrating to hear someone say what that the team did or didn't test.

Sorry, but what's even more frustrating is:
I'm walking in the street, it's -5/-10 outside (used to be normal in winter where i am) and someone collapses in front of me.
What am i supposed to call emergency services on, the nearest payphone?
They shouldn't shut down my phone when it's outside their cozy temperature range. Let me kill it while calling 112...
Edit: not to mention i have an "automotive" -40 to 125 C arm dev board on my desk. Apple doesn't need to do that for consumer use, but they could go for -20 to 40...

Totally, that would be extremely frustrating to not be able to use your phone when you need it.

Review the EOL spans between apple and android though. Apple is still releasing security updates for the 5S, a 10 year old handset. Android devices average 3-4 years before complete end of support. Maybe HN folks will go for alternate firmware, but I'm talking about manufacturer firmware for apples to apples comparison. That $300 increases to $600+ vs holding on to a ~$500 apple handset when looking at a 5+ years tim…
5 years on an iphone is a long time. There'll be a few screen replacements in that story.
Screen replacement is what $60 bucks, done in 15 minutes while you wait? Same goes for battery.

#200The hottest I got my iPhone pro was charging it with the Camera app on (this would make any iPhone warm even my iPhone pro 24). I don’t think it’s a thermal conductivity I think it’s workloads.
The hottest my iPhone 13 Mini gets is charging with the Camera app on, too. I don't know if this phenomenon is unique to the newer phone.
Yea it isn’t the camera app when it isn’t in focus or laying down with the camera facing down seems to make it warm I think the autofocus is just looping.
