My new, one week old, iPhone 17 Pro Max is almost always warm to the touch, even when it has been unused for a longer amount of time it feels warm when I pick it up. So far I have used it for scrolling the web with Safari, organizing the home screen, some social media, mail, taking a few photos and videos and some odd YouTube video here and there.
I have app refresh in background off, dark theme and have tried to turn Bluetooth off as well.
I have the tech woven case and sometimes I can feel the heat through the case. I frequently put my index finger on the camera plateau to check the warmth and 95% of the times it is noticeable warm.
Just writing this post on the phone makes it warm and I have no apps on in the background right now…
Am I expecting too much of it or is the phone really supposed to be like this or have a defect unit? I started the phone fresh, no transfer from older phone.
Looking to hear from people with the PM or Pro model of the 17-series about how your experiences has been regarding heat.
