#3GSMArena 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 concerningly) - sure, but hot - never. We know people have experienced and documented such issues, but we haven't been able to replicate those so far on our units.
They think it's a bug in iOS 17 that causes some phones to overheat.
> And since we ran the same tests on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which last year we crowned as a phone with excellent stability, we were surprised to see that now, under iOS 17, its stability has gotten worse. That's why we think there is some software issue at play in addition to/or just contributing to the poor heat dissipation.

#5Always the same every year.
New iphone full of software and hardware issues, completely unusable according to the press.
Keeps selling like hot pancakes, no one has any real problem with theirs (and if they do they get a replacement)

If only we had a standardized scale to measure and express warm vs. cold…

The problem is that the temperature you feel on your hand is not necessarily the temperature the chip is operating under. If your hand is warm that, ironically, means the heat is dissipating effectively. If it's not dissipating, then your hand will remain cool because all the heat is still on the chip.
So unless Apple gives you a way to read the chip's own temperature sensor data, what you feel holding it isn't that useful. (From a performance standpoint at least. Having a handwarmer when you didn't want a handwarmer is a different kind of problem.)

#8I have a 15 pro here for testing, it was fine yesterday, or maybe I just didn't notice it because i wasn't handling it so much, but today, it is very warm (After being idle for 30 mins, not plugged in or anything). Also, the framerate on our AR app is worse, XCode debugging navigator isn't telling me the fps, but compared to a 12 pro, it is noticeably jittery

Are you using the Instagram app? It is documented that a bug in the app in combination with iOS 17 causes phones to massively heat up while doing basically nothing.
