Apple may reduce the performance of the 3nm A17 Pro processor due to massive overheating of the iPhone 15 Pro::The problem of overheating of iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max smartphones is becoming widespread. It is possible that Apple will be forced to take the unpopular step of reducing the performance of the latest 3nm A17 Pro chip.
Bizarrely I’ve had zero issues with overheating on the 15 Pro Max, even when playing games while charging or during initial installation. Does anyone know other scenarios in which it overheats?
Same here. My 15 pro max never gets noticeably warmer than my 14 pro did, even during the initial setup, where it’s doing lots of things. It seems more likely that this is a manufacturing problem that only affects some phones, because people are reporting super hot phones, most of the time, which nobody I know has seen. The phone itself is generating the heat - the climate difference doesn’t sound like the cause.
i guess when you live in a tropical country? like by default the weather is super hot so naturally phones tend to overheat easily too.
That is a valid opinion, that has happened to me with all my devices, Android and iOS.
It’s not ambient temperature. Tons of people have had no problems using it in in places like Arizona or Florida. Other people have had it turn into a small furnace in much cooler areas / indoors. There’s something else going on.
Apparently it can heat up randomly while doing something not intensive like listening to music or even sitting in your pocket, according to two people from the WVFRM podcast
Same here, my 15 pro max is cold all the time

That’s really such a corner-case though.
Ditto. 2 15 Pros in the house.
Lots of gaming, shooting video, and doing those things while fast charging or Qi charging. It can get warm when pushed had for a long time, but no warmer than other phones or I’ve used.
In the big mega threads I generally see a handful of people who have been getting heat warning with these scenarios, but it doesn’t feel like it’s impacting the majority of users.
Shitty sites like Facebook?
