Comment on iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F
Kumabear@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’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.
