from time to time<\/strong>, sometimes for obvious reasons like playing a demanding video game, sometimes for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for the iPhone 15 series, things can be more serious. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2023\/09\/26\/iphone-15-overheating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">According to 9to5Mac<\/a>, &#8220;there are widespread reports of the iPhone 15 overheating, seemingly in all models.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of <strong>the heating issues occur when the phone is charging<\/strong>, which may not be a problem since it is unlikely, though not impossible, that you would use it much while it&#8217;s charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube

perform in the future. <strong>This is because most people transfer data from their old phone on the first day<\/strong>, and the new device works hard to copy everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Korean YouTuber, BullsLab, claims to have recorded the temperature of an iPhone with a thermal imaging camera and, when testing the phone thoroughly, playing games and running performance tests, he says the phone reached nearly 47\u00ba degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Ming-Chi Kuo&#8217;s comments add more context. <strong>Kuo says that overheating is unlikely to be due to one of the entirely new elements of the iPhone 15 Pro<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/a17-pro-vs-a16-bionic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the A17 Pro chip, which was built using a 3-nanometer process<\/a>, the first smartphone chips to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div

phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kuo says in a report on <a

nofollow\">Medium<\/a>: &#8220;My survey indicates that the overheating issues of the iPhone 15 Pro series are not related to TSMC&#8217;s advanced 3nm node.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So what could it be? Kuo continues<\/strong>: &#8220;It is more likely that the main cause is the compromises made in the thermal system design to achieve a lighter weight, such as reducing the heat dissipation area and using a titanium frame, which negatively affects thermal efficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And how can this be resolved? <\/strong>At a hardware level, it&#8217;s too late for the millions of phones sold so far, <strong>so the logical step would be for Apple to reduce the power of its processor<\/strong>, thus preventing the phone from heating up so much. Yes, it&#8217;s not an ideal solution, but it seems to be the only viable one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest development that is attracting the attention of the media is the design flaw that the iPhone 15 Pro seems to suffer from, which would be overheating&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9265,"featured_media":251273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[3866],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-251270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ios-17"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9265"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":317658,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251270\/revisions\/317658"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251270"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=251270"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=251270"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=251270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
