I mean, like I said, it gets warm, but so did my
0:02
uh, my, I keep, the numbers are keep eluding me. So did the 14 Pro
0:07
Anytime that, you know, you're charging something on fast charge or you're updating a million apps
0:14
all in a row or, you know, I don't do things like, you know, do serious games on there or try and transfer
0:21
you know, a gigantic video to a Mac. I just do normal everyday stuff
0:26
And yeah, every iPhone gets a little warm when it does stuff, right
0:30
I don't think this one seems more hot than ever. And I don't even have a case on it, you know
0:35
which I don't know, maybe the case, maybe the fact that it doesn't have a case
0:39
means it doesn't overheat as much, but it doesn't, I don't find it uncomfortable
0:45
I haven't found it like, oh no, my phone is so hot that it hurts
0:51
I feel like I'm incredibly skeptical whenever there's these stories about the device overheating that came out
0:58
Within the first week of the device releasing, because this is the same time that, you know
1:02
you're just setting up your iPhone, it's installing all these apps, as you mentioned. Yeah, that's a good point
1:06
It's indexing all the files. Your phone is doing a lot the first day you get it
1:10
especially if you're plugging it in and fast charging it. So if there's still reports of iPhones overheating
1:16
next week or like a month from now, then I'll start to give credence to this story
1:20
But I'm skeptical for now. That's an interesting point. I saw a great video by iPhone Doe on YouTube
1:25
and he was saying that he thinks that it's the result of people using Instagram, and he did an example
1:32
where he was monitoring the heat on his phone, and he was showing, using different apps
1:37
it was warm, it was warm, it was warm, and then he loads Instagram, and poof, all of a sudden, the temperature starts skyrocketing
1:43
and it starts going to like 100 degrees. But was that because he just installed Instagram
1:49
for the first time, or was there a bug with the Instagram app
1:52
I don't have any issues with my phone overheating either. It did get hot when I was first setting it up
1:58
but since then, I haven't had a single instance where it's gotten really hot
2:02
Now again, I haven't been using it very long, so maybe I'm not doing what people
2:07
who have overheating phones are doing with their phones. Maybe that's the problem
2:11
I don't know, but so far, it's been pretty normal. I would say it's gotten hotter
2:16
than other phones that I've owned, but it wasn't so bad that it was gonna burn
2:21
my fingertips off or something. Maybe I won the Silicon Lottery, or maybe it has something to do with apps
2:27
that people are using. I don't know. Ming-Chi Kuo had a tweet about this
2:31
He said that his survey indicates that the iPhone 15 Pro series overheating issues
2:38
are unrelated to TSMC's advanced three nanometer no, which some people were speculating
2:44
that that was the problem, is that these chips just got hotter. The primary cause, he says, is more likely
2:50
the compromise is made in the thermal system to achieve a lighter weight
2:55
Such as the reduced heat dissipation area and the use of a titanium frame
2:59
which negatively impacts thermal efficiency. So maybe that's it
