The cut wasn’t straight. If you notice in your screenshot, the entire bottom of the frame is missing from the left edge. So, yes, only the metal present, titanium, was bent at the edge.
Yeah you changed the angle to be wrong. Whatever. Enjoy. 🤦♂️
Deleted. Not responding to abuse.
Doesn't matter, the frame isn't touching the SoC, it isn't dissipating the heat (like a heatsink or vapour chamber).
I agree completely. The underlying aluminum dissipates heat better than titanium, which should facilitate better heat reduction. But some don’t like that Apple bonded the titanium to aluminum. Why? The world my never know.
Simply because the titanium sides are getting warmer than other iPhone rails doesn't necessarily mean that the titanium itself is better at heat dissipation. Remember, they're using ALUMINUM as basically the main heat dissipator, and it is fused to the very thin layer of titanium. The titanium is actually doing almost NONE of the heat dissipation. And that's not even mentioning the fact that with all the overheating issues, you can't properly compare these side rails with previous iPhones, as the 15 PM may be getting even hotter internally, which will obviously lead to warmer side rails as well. That's just how heat works.
Except it literally doesn't. Again, if the entire device is producing more heat in general, then the sides heating up doesn't mean they're dissipating heat better.
Not sure what you mean by this. If the aluminum is bonded to the side rails, then the dissipation has to be happening thru the aluminum AND titanium because the titanium is what's exposed to air. If you're referring to the aluminum back plate then sure, that's definitely accounting for most of the heat dissipation.
It's not Apple's job to test their phones with Apps, it's the developers job to test their apps. It's what my team does, and out company buys the new phones to ensure they work.
They have no way of testing every app that's submitted to ensure it won't cause some end user problem on the myriad of iPhones and iPads that are out in the marketplace. It's the job of the app developer, same goes with computer software.
If it was a hardware issue, pretty much every one would be experiencing it. Neither my wife or I have had any issues with our 15 Pros, nor have we've had issues with our 15 Pros in our development department.
But it is Apple's job to test their hardware designs, like how well heat is dissipated
They issue isn't hardware, it was software, and it was related to 3rd party apps.
12 pro, 13 pro, 14 pro, all NOT solid stainless housings. The frames are stainless steel. The mid plates are aluminum. I tear these devices down regularly. 15 pro series has the same aluminum midframe. Only difference is the titanium outer frame. Which is much better for heat dissipation, hence why the frame of the phone is warmer this year when the phone does run at higher clock speeds.
It is actually a titanium alloy. Grade 5 titanium is mixed. Titanium is far superior for heat dissipation as well, over stainless steel. Top of the line car exhausts are titanium. I think we will see better battery health stats this year being tue titanium is dissipating the heat better.
THANK YOU! This is why the heat can be felt more in the frame this year. Also explains people freaking out. They need to educate themselves.
While the titanium side frame part might be an alloy, it's bonded to the inner aluminum side frame.
