Charging, watching videos, playing games...it sounds like it is overheating under otherwise normal use conditions.

Charging, watching videos, playing games...it sounds like it is overheating under otherwise normal use conditions.

That would be bad, but the only visual evidence of overheating currently being shown are of “extreme benchmarking” and meta apps which overheats even older model iPhones.

If you actually look at the numbers shown, at most it’s less than 5 degrees higher than the human body, with the average being 2-3 degrees higher.

A bit hyperbolic if you ask me as influencer chase clicks and clout.

It sounds considerable more serious than than

"...The Wall Street Journal’s Joanna Stern noted in her review last week that the iPhone 15 Pro Max hit 106 degrees Fahrenheit while charging. In further testing, the phone reached temperatures up to 112 degrees when simultaneously charging and doing processor-intensive tasks, such as gaming..."

I don’t really take Joanna stern Or the Wall Street journal seriously anymore after they tried to claim China was banning iPhones a couple of weeks back.

106f is about 41 c, which is 4 degrees above 37c, the normal human temperature. 112f is about 44c, and I call bs on her getting that while gaming, I call bs on her gaming at all

Extreme benchmarking stress test only pushes the 15 pro max up to 43c.

Which game was she playing or didn’t she specify?

This guy claims it’s Instagram and meta apps causing it in the background.

It doesn't matter what she was doing. She is read by millions of non-tech folks the world over and she just panned the iPhone15. Apple needs to forcefully respond to this before it becomes more of a pr fiasco than it already has.

Genuinely curious what game did she claim to be playing that surpassed an extreme benchmarking test.

Millions , sure 3 million. Apple sells that many iPhones in less than a min.

WSJ tech hasn’t been relavent since the og Walt mossberg left. Joanna stern is a that pans the iPhone every year.

Guess what? nobody cares.

We'll see how it shakes out then

Seriously what game did Joanna stern play that made her iPhone 15 pro max heat up to 44c, one degree more than a 20 min extreme benchmarking stress test? Or did she make that up?

What shakes out? That Joanna stern panning the iPhone every year has has zero impact on iPhone sales. Or that some reviewers are trying to replicate what’s she claimed about charging and are failing.

It's not just her reporting this. It is all over the place now. You think some product liability firm isn't getting ready with a consumer class action?

Moving the goal posts already.

It’s a pretty simple question, what game did she play?

You can just screenshot it, unless she made it up.

Who knows? And outside of a tech forum, who cares? Its irrelevant to most people. That's why it can cause trouble and why Apple needs to say something substantive.

You were citing her as evidence .

If no one cares in a tech forum I guess the average consumer won’t care at all either.

Sure, they will issue a statement:
if you run extreme benchmarking tests to push the limits of the hardware it will heat up to 44c.

Otherwise it will operate like every other iPhone and android phone in the market

Having a couple of iPhone 15 pro max myself they were warm when I restored them but after indexing they run cooler than my iPhone 14 pro max did. I only use MagSafe to charge them and they are fine.

Is your 15 pro max overheating?

I'm honestly iffy about buying one. I had the misfortune of owning a Note 7. Hot phones aren't for me after that fiasco.

Note 7 wasn’t a hot phone it was an exploding phone.
A huge difference.

Which phone do you currently own?

Heatgate is definitely heating up! The fix will be throttling the A17. Might as well just buy a regular 15 or 15 Plus.
