Apple Says iPhone 15 Pro's Titanium Frame Does Not Contribute to Overheating Issue

Is everyone's short term memory this shot that they forget every year people are complaining about hot phones and bad battery life for the few days after a major OS update or a new phone launch? Yeah, the phones do a ton of indexing and background stuff the first couple days, then go back to normal.
Considering my 15 Pro is as cool as a cucumber, I find this hard to believe. So I’ll just say that my three wives and seven sons 15 Pros are great and are staying!
Because updating does a lot of flash writing in addition to cpu usage for decompression/compressing etc, which is quite power hungry and heat generating.
I would really like a 3D icon look on iOS, yes, but I doubt they will go this route. I really like macOS icons and the overall look of the system. iOS, I’d like a change.
Still, this is a different topic
And it’s sad to see adult people trying to overblow minor issues or accept made up ones just because they didn’t get a new iPhone this year.
Yup. Aluminum’s thermal conductivity is about 230 W/k/m whereas steel is about 15. Titanium’s TC is 12.
There's nothing minor about spending $1200 on an item and it malfunctions. Whether its a TV, game console or refrigerator I expect it to perform as advertised.
I've found on my 15 Pro Max that the left side rail near the SoC does get quite hot when the phone is under full load, and I never noticed that with the stainless steel phones.
In any case, this points firmly in the direction of titanium not being a problem.
Oh yeah? Even though the iPhone 15 Pro under full load isn't significantly hotter than the 14 Pro? Care to explain that?
I'm getting that vibe from a lot of posts I've seen lately. Same talking points, same dodging questions and points that refute what they said.
The claim was that this started with iOS 16.5.1. I've gone from iOS 13 up to iOS 17.0.1 on my 11 Pro without having a problem that allegedly started with 16.5.1, so it can't be said that 16.5.1 started this if there are iPhones that had it that did not have any issues.
BL.
Truly something to behold, market cap bigger and bigger, quality lower and lower. How are those two connected, if they are connected at all, I don’t know, but it’s interesting.
they put a cpu in a phone that runs at 3.7 GHZ . with no adequate space to cool the sucker
which also equals throttling . dum.
Who needs 3.7 GHZ in a phone?
only fix is a software patch to crank down the speed of the CPU.
By how much? who knows.
another big blunder just like the poor antenna design on the iPhone 4 was it? or 5?

It is okay for the device to heat up, when it is actually doing work.
And actually a good sign, that the heat is getting "transported" outside and not trapped inside.
Apple probably did, however on an older version of the app. The app developers update so frequently that the developers probably didn’t test on the new hardware before they released it. Apple can’t delay a flagship product because the developers don’t keep up or plan appropriately.
Could you imagine if they did choose to block app releases for this reason, Apple gets slatted so much now for some of their policies with apps in the store. If a release was declined because the apps caused performance, heat or other issues with the device, it would always be Apples fault, if that was because of OS, hardware or otherwise.
Maybe they should put a lovely message when an app downloads to say “this app performs poorly, as the dev hasn’t caught up, install at risk”.
[not arguing against your point, just giving another opinion for a different angle]
Man, the amount of confident simplistic reasoning in this thread is both hilarious and depressing.
Or a lovely App download message like, "Beware, this app performs very well on all iPhone's up to iPhone 14*, but our latest generation the magic amazing gorgeous fantastic iPhone 15* is incapable of running it! Yes, don't blame the iPhone 15*, it's the App! Your trusty Tim. 😘"
And also a lovely message when the Phone App opens, "Beware, this app performs very well on all iPhone's up to iPhone 14*, but our latest generation the magic amazing gorgeous fantastic iPhone 15* is incapable of running it! Yes, don't blame the iPhone 15*, it's the App! Your trusty Tim. 😘." Ohhh shhhh it's our own App, Craig get over here👇, NOW!🤬

Which Apple apps are having an issue? I was under the impression it was only some 3rd party apps.
Nah, also when People make a bit longer Phone calls, or FaceTime calls with Apples own Apps, and also while charging.
