    MacOS Tahoe Heat and Battery Issues

    Hi everyone. Since updating to MacOS Tahoe (updated to 26.0.1), my MacBook Pro M1 Max with 32Gb of RAM is running very hot every time I use it. It's almost hard to use as a laptop in the literal sense since it sometimes gets too hot to comfortably sit on my lap. I start sweating! This is...

    iPhone 17 Pro Max iPhone 17 Pro Max hot to the touch

    My new, one week old, iPhone 17 Pro Max is almost always warm to the touch, even when it has been unused for a longer amount of time it feels warm when I pick it up. So far I have used it for scrolling the web with Safari, organizing the home screen, some social media, mail, taking a few photos...

    iPhone 16e General usage heat?

    This isn’t a huge issue, but in the months I’ve had a couple of 16e’s, I’ve noticed that certain activities that historically haven’t caused me to feel heat, are doing that. The main one is just general browsing in Safari (even on strong WiFi, and even basic sites that just have text to read)...

    Thinking of getting a new computer. Need advice.

    My 2020 MacBook Air with Intel has always struggled with getting warm. I do not like how hot it sometimes gets (the keys on the keyboard were hot to the touch the other day.), especially in the summer. This worries me. Sometimes it smells like a hot electronic, especially as of late. The...

    I recently purchased an M3 Max 14" Pro with 36GB ram, 2TB storage and I'm experiencing excessive heating and fan activity just running a simple Xcode project on the M3 Max. On iStatistico Pro, CPU cores 1-7 are showing around 180-200+ F temperatures and fans over 6k rpm within a minute of...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max 15 Pro Max gets hot, iOS 17.1.1

    Have a 15 Pro Max here, white, 1tb. Never had a phone get this hot. Can go from not hot to uncomfortably hot just by browsing the web and listening to music in the background. Do something "crazy" like actually download some songs from Apple Music, and be prepared to put that phone down, it's so...

    Apple Music This isn’t normal, right?

    15p gets quite warm while just streaming music playing through its speakers. None of my previous phones ever got even remotely warm playing tunes. It’s as warm as it is playing games. I didn’t want to add on to the heat complaints, but this is weird imo. I wish I had screenshots of how my 11 did...

    Reality of issues upgrading from 14" M1 Max to 14" M2 Max?

    After years with a 2015 MBP (13" and 15"), and a brief terrible time with the 2017 MBP nTB, I upgraded to a 14" MBP M1 Max with 24 GPU courses - widely reported as being the sweetspot, with more GPU cores diminishing value. Sadly the machine had issues so it was returned to Apple. They won't...

    Question: Hard Cases & Heat Dissipation Under Heavy Loads

    I’ll be getting a 16” M2 Max MBP whenever they come out to (among other things) do 3D work - modeling, texturing, rendering, that sort of thing. I’ll be traveling a lot and the laptop is likely to see light abuse, so I was thinking of getting a hard case like the UAG Plyo. My question is: will...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 4,1 -> 5,1 shuts down after a few minutes

    Hi all, my trusty 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) all of a sudden just shut down without being under load and wouldn't properly start up anymore. After it cooled off, it will boot again, but within 5 minutes or so before it just shuts down again. I read the threads about the temperature issues and cleaned...

    Intel to Silicon: help choosing a Mac.

    Hi! I want to trade my old MBA (2013) for a new one. I’m writing my thesis, and the Mac warms too much, and gets beach balls all over the place. I was thinking in a second handed M1 MacBook. Honestly, I’d prefer the Pro just for the fan. What is your experience? Does the Air warms when...

    HomeKit Any Reason NOT to Set Thermostat to Auto Heat/Cool?

    My ecobee thermostat and Home app give me the option to set my thermostat to auto heat/cool (as opposed to just heat or just cool). Assuming this works properly, would there be any good reason(s) not to use this feature? It would remove the step of having to manually change the setting between...

    Differences in thermal solutions between 14/16 or M1 Pro/Max?

    Just wondering if there are any differences between the thermal solutions (heat sink, fan size, etc) inside the new 14’’ and 16’’ MBPs. For example the 16’’ might benefit from larger heat sinks? Also is it the same heat sink/fans when you choose M1 Pro vs M1 Max? Assuming that M1 Max would...
