Why didnt they ask me? For me its size and weight!
The 15 Pro is too heavy and too big. 11 pro was ok. I have hand size XL (size 10)

I've definitely had the CarPlay while wirelessly charging shutdown on my 12PM. I blamed it on my aging battery, but it happened on the way home from a hardware swap from the Apple Store. I blamed that time on "Maybe my phone was working extra hard restoring my iCloud and apps", but maybe it'd just my wireless charging pad (some unknown vendor vent mounted unit).

I've been on the fence on the 12PM->16PM, but if it performs better outdoors in bright sun and/or while wireless charging then that might be worth it for me.
 
Those numbers sound total rubbish. 61% planning on upgrading to iPhone 16 series…. ?! No chance that is a realistic number.

I’d like to see how this survey was structured. It probably had a very limited selection of options for the respondents. I doubt 27% of people would immediately think of thermal cooling as a primary reason for upgrading. Also, a 62% upgrade rate seems way too high.

The iPhone 6S got a stronger frame to prevent bending and the iPhone 4S got better antennas for better reception. Still some people felt the need to defend Apple on their initially flawed designs. Always an interesting phenomenon.
Exactly. Apple won’t spend money unnecessarily to make improvements unless there were a significant number of issues with users and also discovered in internal testing.

You may just be underestimating the number of people who are 'planning on' getting one but will get sharply jolted back to reality when they see the price, their own bank balance, what their network wants to charge them for a upgrade, the colour choices (Yay, space beige), the fact that it doesn't fold in half / isn't bezel-free / can't fly etc. and all the countless other things that reality ends up throwing in the path of eternal optimists.

One of my biggest issues either 15 pro max is the overheating with wireless charging. Using it for car play and it shuts down for 10 minutes because of it makes it almost useless in the car.
And lately I am getting overheating when plugged in and charging.

As my signature reveals, I have an iPhone 15 Plus. I like the size just fine but don’t want it any larger. I love the battery life and am disappointed with rumors that the 16 Plus will have a 9 percent smaller battery and that there likely will not even be a 17 Plus. I don’t need AI. I just want a reliable phone with excellent signal and audio quality, and great battery life. As long as the device works smoothly, I don’t care about CPU power, GPU power and RAM.
 
I find it hard to believe so many users complained about the overheating even though has no clue about good thermal design.
 
Reality: Apple has ALWAYS sucked at thermal design.

Ok, not always. Woz did a good job with the Apple I and Apple II. Never had my II+ overheat once.

But the III was notorious for bad thermal design, and Jobs just kept the stupidity going from there. The Macintosh would overheat until they fired that idiot and put a fan in the SE/30. Jobs came back, Macs started overheating again. Fanless iMacs cooked themselves, iPhones were always too thin, they'll even sell you a fanless laptop again now, and the only reason the M1 Air thermal throttles when the M1 Pro doesn't is the fan.

I was hoping Jobs dying would fix the problem, but Beancounter Tim is just as stupid if not stupider.
 
I've never had an issue with overheating.

I find anything that has to make prolonged use of data causes my 15 Pro to heat up excessively. I recently migrated from google photos to iCloud Photos and it took forever, I was on 300Mbps internet and it took forever because photos kept stopping the sync due to excessive heat.

I was also scrolling up a Facebook messenger conversation to find a certain picture and it heated up so much it became uncomfortable to hold.
 
Overheating is a problem with my iPhone 15 Pro, usually when it's wirelessly changing: on my BMW motorcycle, the wireless charger box has a cooling fan that cuts in to help, but our new Ford doesn't so the iPhone turned itself off at the weekend whilst we were using it to navigate home and play music.

But I don't want a physically larger iPhone: if I did, I'd go for the Max.

That's right!
Same reason Apple silicon (without a fan) wins benchmarks only, if they are very short and the machine cools down long time between the single tests. If you run a benchmark suite longer, for example 2 hours, you'll see the measured points drop off a cliff...

...but don't tell anyone! :eek:

Just like Steve Jobs said. "We're just humans running a company, we are not perfect". Yet some people here always thought that they were Gods who don't make mistakes. lol.
