Hey all, thanks for clicking!
So, we're entering August and in my home city we're averaging over 100F most days. I had to borrow my brother's older car for moving recently and it didn't have AC. I toughed it out in the sweltering heat, but my trusty iPhone X spit out a temperature warning and had to cool down before I could use it - and it wasn't even in direct sunlight! That's probably not an uncommon occurrence for some of you depending on where you live, either.
I had an 85-ish F day a couple years back where I accidentally left my X in it's dashboard phone holder for almost an hour, and my brain still returns to that as the potential culprit whenever my phone acts up.
Is this rational? How realistically worried should one be about damage to a phone from heat other than quicker battery wear which is obvious. What about situations where I have no choice but to leave my phone in the car? Occasionally I work in a secure environment that doesn't allow personal devices, and if the day is 100F or more, is the glove box even sufficient at that point? I feel like this is a dumb question considering my car radio itself regularly weathers this temperature every day and still works fine, but I'm a bit more protective of my expensive devices.
Figure I can't be the only one who finds themselves in similar situations in the summer and thinks a decent amount about it. Any advice, insight, or stories appreciated.
