Maybe he thought it said 80 degrees Celsius??

No, I knew 80º F was well within iPhones operating temperature. It's just that the phone doesn't operate the same across the entire intervall as I quoted Apple.

80º F is in the 76% percentile of the operating interval and with the likely addition of sunlight, I would argue it qualifies to be in a high temperature condition which Apple says might change the behaviour of the phone, which I quoted.

I have a 15 Pro Max since launch week and I've never had any overheating issues. It's been kinda hot a few times, but all of my iPhones have gotten a little hot here and there.

My battery health is also still at 100%

People talk about "s" models like it means lesser, but back in the day, the "s" models actually received the most significant improvements. Siri, TouchID, 64-bit chips, even video recording, were all introduced on s-models. The "numbered" models just got all the attention because they looked different than their predecessors, even though internals and features were usually not very different.
That are really great facts indeed, which are totally blowing my joke here out of the water :)
Just think about the fantastic 5s or I personally think about the Xs, which was from its appearance very boring after the Big Bang with the initial X in the year before but in terms of the processor, stereo sound recording for videos and so much more it was a fantastic device and is still supported with the current iOS versions.

Sorry to ruin your joke. 😅

But yeah, the numbered models were kind of like the prototype for the new form factor, and then the s model would really perfect it the following year. The 6s/6s+ is also a great example. The 6/6+ were among the most popular iPhones of all time because of the new (larger) form factor, but their internals were only a very slight upgrade over the 5s, and then there was bendgate...
The 6s/6s+ increased the processing power, the RAM, the sturdiness, AND added 3D-Touch and faster TouchID! When you look back, the s models really were the best.

I kinda miss that predictability of knowing what we'd get each year; a new form factor, or a refined version of the current one.
 


Shortly after the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were released last September, some customers began to experience an issue with the devices overheating. Apple eventually mitigated the problem with an iOS 17 update, but it might go a step further with the iPhone 16 models that are set to be released later this year.

The Information today cited a source who said that iPhone 16 models will be equipped with a "larger graphite sheet" inside the chassis of the devices, to address potential overheating. This corroborates a rumor from last November that claimed iPhone 16 models would feature an improved thermal management system.

Apple is expected to release the iPhone 16 series in September, so the devices should be just a few months away from launching. With this rumored change, the post-launch overheating issue should be a thing of the past.

Garbage article. The "post-launch overheating issue" was a software issue. Whatever hardware they are changing for cooling this time around has nothing to do with that.
 
Well first I would get rid of the dumbass square in the corner for the camera's that causes the phone to rock when set on a flat surface (if they need to keep the huge bump, plenty of better options for the layout, Google does a good job with their pixel line with this.)
That’s a preference, not a functional issue. 99% of customers would prefer to have a protruding camera to an inferior camera. It’s physics: better camera = larger footprint.

Expect them to get larger, not smaller. Also, get a nice case, problem solved!

Wouldn't need a case (or to shrink the camera) if they made it go across the back instead of in the corner. Also, the camera was plenty functional when it wasn't sticking out 1/4" from the back of the phone....
