I am curious to find out how the new glass body either keeps Out high temps or keeps them in compared to last years models. Example, cant have old phone sitting in above 95 degree heat. Now with this new glass does that go up or down. Also when the battery gets hot in the new glass can we feel that more or less compared to last year? Anybody?
 
The glass should, theoretically, retain less heat. The safe operating temperatures likely remain the same, however. I haven’t looked, but I can’t imagine them changing much, if at all.

I will also say that you can feel the warmth under heavy use / wireless charging, but it dissipates much more quickly than the aluminum bodied phones seemed to.
