Everyone already knows that the redesign of Apple Podcasts is crap: crap design, crap performance. Still, we have to use it because some shows are not available on other platforms.
Today, I discovered another problem: it turns my phone into a space heater.
As I was listening to a podcast with the screen off, I noticed eventually that the phone was burning up - as if I had left it out under the sun, worse than the heat it produces when charging. I resumed listening, but I was already suspicious of that ****** app, so on a hunch I switched to Spotify. Within a few minutes, the phone was back to its cool self. I also tested it with my audiobook apps, and they ran fine as well.
Switching back to Podcasts once again, I confirmed that it makes my phone run super hot - obviously for no goddamn reason: it's a freaking podcast app.
This performance makes an insult of Apple's marketing: "iPhone is faster than every other phone on the market", and then it struggles to play a podcast on its own native Apple app without melting down. I don't see this problem with any other app I use for long periods. What's the point of fast hardware if Apple's own software makes it increasingly WORSE over time? WTF are they doing over there?
