The software fix will throttle the processor because the software has no other ways to control the heat (unlike DIY PCs, the phone does not have the fans that software could speed up). The processor will be throttled well below it's unsafe temperature threshold and it's a design flaw. One can always throttle the processor to death thus avoiding any heat related issues. But that's a very flawed design.
Firstly, I've not personally attacked you. I’ve called your argument boorish. I say that because you continue the fallacy you have created. I believe you have chosen to deliberately ignore what the actual word, facade means. Stick with that word if you want, even though you’re using it incorrectly.
Why do you keep saying it’s a majority of aluminium? Where is this shown? Zack shows it is about the same. And where does anyone say that the entire frame is titanium? Every thing specifically says it’s titanium bonded with aluminium. Plus who even suggests, other than you, that the structure is primarily from the aluminium?
You can continue to make personal attacks but it doesn’t change the factually accurate description of 1 mm of titanium over a majority aluminum frame as a facade. It is the outer portion that everyone sees, the very definition of a facade. Contrary to what you falsely claim in your bad faith rage replies, a facade can provide structure, can provide protection, etc. In fact, in some cases, like marble facades of medieval and renaissance churches, the facade is stronger than the underlying structure and provides superior protection than the underlying materials (e.g., more porous stone and wood). However, because the material is more costly, the material is only used as the facade. Just because you don’t like something Apple has chosen to do doesn’t change what Apple does.
That’s not remotely what he showed. In the cross section, the majority of the frame was aluminum, with a 1-mm Grade 5 titanium facade. In fact, in the video I shared, JRE says, “It’s definitely not a full titanium frame of course, more of a titanium adornment.”
Nonsense. Ti conducts heat worse off than aluminium. It Ti were so good, why wasn’t it used in cookware?
Bingo! This is likely a reason why Apple chose to make the majority of the frame out of aluminum, with a 1-mm facade of Grade 5 titanium.
Sigh… And it’s Zack btw. He hates anyone calling him JerryRig. Bit of respect for the man please, even if you can't respect others opinions. If you were in anyway familiar with his sense of humour, you would know exactly what he is talking about. He lives on sarcasm. If it were just an adornment, it would be a facade, like the argument you seem to be sticking with.
Sigh… You are making absolutely no sense. I posted the video, which shows the objective truth that the majority of the frame is aluminum, with a 1-mm facade of Grade 5 titanium. Because all you want to do is make personal attacks and rage reply, you’re now denying what Zach actually said in the video. It wasn’t sarcastic - he was using an actual tool to make measurements. Bit of respect, please, even if you can’t respect objective truth over your subjective statements.
Majority? Wow.
it would be extremely petty if true. but again, total speculation
Not majority? Wow.
The majority of the frame is aluminum, which dissipates heat better than titanium. More likely it is either software entirely or software and some hardware defects.
The only thing I’m not buying about this is that my 15 Pro Max seems to get hot when 1) using the stock camera app, and 2) using driving with CarPlay.
Apple has decreed that it is apps like Instagram, so what you’re experiencing can’t be true!
Apple's shareholders completely agree.
Apple should have used a solid titanium for the whole frame of the phone, not just effectively a cap over the frame. Technically its a titanium plating so the term “titanium” should be used sparingly - just like gold plated is not solid gold.
Can I ask why they “should” have done that? Is there a particular benefit you had in mind that offsets any weight, mass manufacturing, or performance compromises that might have to be made to do that?
