L4sBotiPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F
Kumabear46c… lmfao what a stupid headline.
That is absolutely NOT “hot” for a piece of tech under stress.
If you had a shower that cold it would feel annoyingly tepid…
The phone housing is the heat sync, and the phone is more powerful than many people’s few year old laptops.
Not to defend apple but this is just trying to sensationalise and farm clicks, my pixel 7 used to get way hotter doing just normal tasks to the point I was getting overheat warnings and the screen would shut off.
Now if it was more like 55c I could see that being an issue at least from a comfort standpoint.
Xylight (Photon dev)It is not comfortable to hold a 46C metal object in your hand.
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.
redcalciumExcuse 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.
