A related issue exists with M1/M2 Pro and Max chips in their laptops. They do not overheat (unless you're in a hot environment) since they have fans and seem to have included enough cooling for these chips, but you do not get the miraculous battery life with these that you do with the lighter versions. I guess they made the chip and RAM a lot bigger but didn't make the battery much bigger. The battery life is still d…

You'll pry my base model M1 Air from my cold dead hands. Yes it only has 8GB memory I don't care.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst at TF International Securities, said any overheating issue was probably due to “compromises” in the phone’s design as the company attempted to reduce the product’s weight. > The iPhone Pro model has a frame made from titanium, a poor conductor of heat, which could hamper the handset’s ability to disperse heat. Previously, Apple has used stainless steel for its high-end phones.

> Previously, Apple has used stainless steel for its high-end phones. I saw that too. I thought Apple mainly used aluminium?

The interior has been aluminum, but the band around the outside has been stainless steel.

> Ceramic Shield front, Textured matte glass back and stainless steel design

What 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…

You're right, of course. I try to think about it like a car. I would never buy a new car, and a 5 year old luxury car is cheaper and better than a brand new non-luxury car.

But the new ones are definitely shinier...

Idk what this has to do with the issue though. I mean sure wait on launch for bugs, but how often you upgrade a phone is irrelevant.

In the last 6 you get 5g, 120hz, usb c, more ram.

people who spend $1200 every 12 months on buying the same phone, are not buying a phone.

Aren't these new iPhones using 3nm based CPUs? My understanding is that this would normally translate to less power draw for equivalent clock speeds, so it's interesting to hear the new iPhone is not only overheating but also has a similar battery life to the previous model and only modest performance gains.

There's one way to stop it: online culture must shift toward blaming early adopters for not waiting, instead of blaming companies for bad QA.

TotalBiscuit pushed that for game preorders, and it worked, preorders declined.

Change always starts from below, and idle BigCorp criticism has no effect if people still give their money blindly.

Plus the 5 year old car model has an established history of reported problems. A used buyer can review to make a decision based on actual reliability, vs whats essentially an unknown when new. Particularly with new model generations.

If you've got the cash buy the Merc, etc etc Iphone. Otherwise, spend $300 on a really solid android phone and then flex on being money smart.
