The heat on my 15 Pro hasn’t been terrible, though I use a thick case and run iOS 18.1 beta. I thought Apple addressed the issue with iOS 17.1.0, as I haven’t heard much about thermal issues since. Even when my phone gets warm without the case (rarely), I believe overheating is due to poor developer coding, not the phone itself. Some app developers are terrible at creating their apps.hey - I agree to these points but how bout the rumors of better battery life and thermal design?
Im on the verge of buying 15 Pro (done with 13 PM size) cheap now but seen number of posts how 15 Pro is terribly hot.
These so called thermal issues are to be supposedly addressed with 16 Pro.
Not sure if this is real issue for 15 pro though - ie my 13 PM started being hot with iOS 17 randomly this year as well and stopped with 17.6 or so.
is this something you would consider 15 Pro vs 16 Pro? don't really care about other stuff as you mentioned don't see significant.
A phone running a bit cooler isn’t enough to make me upgrade. Apple needs to offer more. A 200 MP camera with 100x optical zoom would be a good start. Also, a camera that doesn’t keep refocusing just because you’re close to the subject would be helpful. Even the Pro models still have poor cameras—noisy pictures, especially in low light, and low-quality zoomed images. If Apple made the cameras flush with the back and used slightly bigger components, the cameras would perform better. I feel like Apple purposely holds back the camera just so they have a key point to point out in a new phone every year.
