Comment on iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F
Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 9 months agoIt is not comfortable to hold a 46C metal object in your hand.
It’s not “overheating” either though is it?
46c is not that hot at all, that’s like half as hot as a cup of coffee.
It’s probably not ideal… but also not at all new and about the same as my S22 ultra hits under load or when charging which runs far cooler than my previous pixel 7 which would actively overheat if you tried to run maps while charging it on a warm day, to the point it would force the screen to min brightness after about 30min.
Yeah, I’ve had overheating issues while running maps and charging on iPhones too. Not with Apple Maps but with third party mapping software that pushed the CPU/GPU a little too hard.
Also, iPhones do a lot of computation on your photo library while charging. Combine that (for years of photos and not just the ones you took in the last day or so) with normal heat from charging the battery and 46°C seems pretty reasonable to me.
but it looks so cozy

It depends on how you’re holding it and how spread that heat is. 46° isn’t something great to be grasping for extended periods of time, but if you’re physically touching 30°C parts of the phone and a part with no physical contact with your skin is 46°C, it’s probably not that bad.
My s7 edge used to hit these temps. The annoying part was the throttling and shutdowns. I never really felt like I was burning my hands using the thing.

Excuse me, but this has “you’re holding it wrong” energy. And according to this page, 44°C is painful is starting to feel painful to touch, and 47° is enough to cause 1st degree burn.

Proteins and enzymes begin to denaturate at temps >40°C, that’s why a feaver exceeding this temperature is dangerous and why we feel a warning pain at 44°C.
