The iPhone 15, Apple’s latest flagship smartphone, has been plagued by a serious issue that affects its performance and user experience. The device, which features a titanium body for durability and aesthetics, has been reported to overheat excessively under normal usage. This can cause the phone to slow down, drain the battery faster, or even shut down unexpectedly. The problem seems to stem from the poor thermal conductivity of titanium, which traps the heat generated by the processor and other components inside the phone. Apple has acknowledged the issue, leaving many customers frustrated and disappointed with their purchase.
Apple has acknowledged the issue, and blames software “bugs”, that is going to be fixed. According to some analysts the core issue at hand is that Apple overclocks these new devices to the max to shine in specific benchmarks. Addressing this issue will mean Apple will have to put in software tweaks to downclock and not run its hardware att its full potential in most use-cases. The idea with a downclocking “fix” for bread-and-butter apps, will let Apple run benchmarks at overheating speeds/bursts to “look good” but will downclock the performance for most users doing “real” work with the phone.
We are a bit puzzled why users are not cutting Apple some slack here. I am sure Apple could hand out heat resistant rubber-cases for users feeling the heat, or simply just explain to customers having a phone too hot to have in the hand that they may be holding it wrong… :-0
