My 11pro max started heating up since the update, but I thought it was finally time for an upgrade, so I did to the 15 pro max. Now both phones are heating up the same which made me thing it’s normal and nothing was wrong with my 11pro max. Watching this video makes me realize it’s definitely the iOS 17 update that’s causing all the over heating.

"My 11pro max started heating up since the update, but I thought it was finally time for an upgrade," Well yeah that's what Apple does to push you to buy the new one.

Apple’s chip are more power efficient, but also consume more energy at higher levels of performance according to geekerwan. You also don’t need to be an engineer to understand that Apple’s assembly of parts in a device is not even trying to dissipate heat unlike Samsung’s actual dissipating vapor chamber.

[@DBX79]

Using the 15 Pro Max while talking on it can make it extremely hot as well. I hope Apple rolls a good fix that takes care of this. I don’t want a bad unit out of my return policy.

@@moby1kanobActually no, it’s not about being a sheep. I just bought a 15 Pro Max about 10 days ago and i also have a Z Fold 5 from Samsung. And i can confidently say that my iPhone is getting wayyyy hotter when i am on a call. I never had over heating issue on my Fold 5 or the S23 Ultra that i had before buying the iPhone. Not at such a degree. The 15 PM is getting burning hot. Like it’s literally concerning kind of hot. It cools down after couple of minutes but the overheating issue is real whether a software issue or hardware issue but it’s a real thing and no, Samsung doesn’t over heat to such concerning temperatures.

For me it was Instagram on iOS17 (until the last Instagram update), on my 15 Pro AND 13 Pro Max. Just having it open was enough to heat both phones. So my guess is that it's a software issue, maybe a combination of an iOS bug and a bug in an app.

Like some people have already commented, I think it might be the iOS issue as I've noticed my 14 Pro Max being somewhat hotter and its battery is draining like nuts ever since I've upgraded to the iOS 17 and its newest iterations. And yes, charging my 14 PM has been getting warmer with the Apple 35W charger. Great vid!

[@jmoschella14]

I think it has to do with iOS 17. This is because my 13 Pro has been overheating frequently since the upgrade. It was rare for me to get my phone to overheat while driving with GPS and Spotify or KZbin running. It seems to happen every day now.

I think the test could have also been done with the back of the phone on the table. I feel like most people charge that way so they can see the screen. But also it should get hotter because the back will be against the table allowing for less air.

Well wouldn’t the raise in the camera lift it a little allowing more air? And less contact with the table

[@vladsmachina3285]

Good test, you put in effort to document the comparison. With this said: The Titanium issue has to be looked at two fold: Titanium acts as an insulator, much better than Aluminum, both ways. So a temperature measured outside the titanium plate should then be converted to a temperature INSIDE the phone. So for 90 degrees measured outside of the phone, knowing the Titanium heat conduction factor, the temperature calculated inside the phone will be more that the temperature inside the Aluminum phone. How much more? By the difference between conduction factors. So if the conduction factor of Ti is half of Al and you measure the same outside housing temp .......

[@DaveTriesToPlayGuitar]

I think that's the problem with cases like this, same with "fast decline of battery health". It will always never be exactly the same circumstance as any other with the same phone or problem. There are just too many variables at play when trying to test it out or to figure out things. While yes there actually might be a problem in the phone or software but it might be harder to track down and easier for people to just conclude that ALL iPhone 15 that are out in the market as susceptible with overheating issues.

[@Elavra]

bro, if multiple iphone 15s suddenly overheat, it dosent have to be ALL, but you can't be safe and say that yours wont overheat

[@sol_xz]

the problem is easy, older apps are not optimized for the new chipset, or the new 3nm chipset is not that good, remeber snapdragon gen1 is something like that is happening now

[@mistamaog]

​@@sol_xzthe issue is with the 3nm chip. Tsmc couldn't meet the efficiency yields so Apple lowered their standards, but overclocked the CPU and added another GPU core, when compared to the A16 chip. Hence the overheating

This is something my wife for years has said over her iphones, and i agree with her. Its been too hot for years. She usually stays with the basic iphone, and she likes smaller phones so she even got the SE a few months ago because of heat. Still, too hot. This explains why they don't have ultra fast charging.

[@TheNobleElf]

Thanks for doing this test! Seems pretty even across the iPhone spectrum. Personally, I think many of the Pro Max users are going to have higher expectations and demands, and therefore they’ll be quicker to point out if it’s getting too hot…also, there are multiple factors as mentioned!

[@nazmulhuda3262.]

As they chose the pro max version, they are probably familiar with the previous phone not heating up which are most likely would be a pro max or a pro phone. Barely someone would chose to get pro max from regular models.

[@mel6444]

What fixed my pro max overheating issue was resetting the phone as a new one rather than having transferred everything from my previous phone. Once I reset back to factory settings and set up as a new phone, it’s been working perfectly

I have had the same experience but with my Iphone 6s still use it to this day but I remember one time I had decided to charge my phone under my pillow and when I woke up in the morning the phone was blistering hot and there was a warning sign on the phone stating I need the phone to cool off so I couldn't use the phone for a bit. I have had newer iPhones since then I just keep the 6s since I'm just really used to it never let me down. I think that this is fairly common and am shocked people are just discovering that iPhones can heat up to such a degree.

[@Deryckc1]

Very interesting test. The results kind of make sense. I'd be surprised if the body material played a huge role between the Stainless Steel 14 Pro and the Titanium 15 Pro. Aluminium has a thermal conductivity of around 236 W/m/K vs ca 14.3 for stainless steel and 22.4 for Titanium. The stainless steel will therefore conduct heat at the slowest rate of the 3 materials used. I think it has a lot more to do with the way the computing power is used as well as the heat transfer area of the larger phones.

This was a great charging video session. I learned a lot between all the distinctive models of the iPhones and the Samsung. I have a iPhone 15 Pro Max and for the first few days, I’ve been using MagSafe charging for the most part. Yes, it’s heating up only at the magnetic charging part And it takes maybe about over 3 to 4 hours to have a full battery charge without using the phone too much. Me personally I have not experienced any overheating issues maybe because the protective case that I have my OtterBox and are usually don’t use high definition stuff like that just the basic essentials of texting looking at videos a couple, Luke camera pictures here and there nothing too extreme or over-the-top. Just like you said, there are a lot of variables that these phones may overheat, and the software issue could be a possibility. A titanium issue could be a possibility, and also what you touch on certain topics via Forbes and other sources they sound completely little bit satirical I would say, but nothing that should hinder other consumers to buy the product. Thank you.

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

My galaxy s21 FE that was 500 bucks brand new charges in 30-40 minutes (from 10 percent to 85 percent) with my wired Samsung super fast charger. It also doesn't get even remotely hot while it charges, and has wireless charging too, which I don't use because it's slower. Charging is one of the most important aspects of a phone, and apple is wayyy behind in that category.

Overheating has been an issue with some Sony and Canon cameras for years. I have had first hand experience with them and it is very frustrating because cameras cost thousands. Although I don't own any of these iphones, hopefully the issue will be resolved soon because it can be a pain in the backside.

Most of the Sony cameras overheating is an early warning. When it is turned off the cameras usually don’t overheat. Only in extremely demanding things like 4K 120p, My A1 has not overheated once and I live in Florida and I shoot in 4K 120 and 8k 30. I turned off the heat warning.

​@@el_semir He is comparing them to it side by side therefore it is missing that context. It is rather important to know that Samsung is also pulling almost twice the juice as the iPhones. You need this information to accurately compare the temperatures and the reason why the Samsung got as hot as it did. Samsung on a 25watt charger would laugh at the iPhones but take around 15% more time to fill to 100% because it has around a 15% bigger battery than the 15 Pro Max.

Lou, I noticed that you tested plug-in connections for all of the devices but I have also noticed that using wireless connection such as MagSafe decimate the phones heat up a lot faster than other options. Plugging the device tends to cool off a lot better but having it on a qi charger just to make it hotter. I don’t know if you’ve noticed that in your tests.

[@JD-go2qj]

This!! I'm scared of wireless charging. Heat and electronics don't mix

[@navindu9889]

Electrical engineer here, it's to do with the fact that wireless chargers use induction, much like induction cook-tops which produce large amounts of heat in less conductive metals, so yes the physics principles used for wireless charging will naturally heat up surrounding components and will cause batteries to deteriorate faster. Fast charging will also cause issues as the heat produced is proportional to the square of the current supplied through a cable (e.g. 3x charging speed will result in 9x heating). I try to avoid fast charging unless I need my phone charged quickly in a pinch, and I never use wireless chargers.

Apple released a statement a few days ago saying how, during the first days of usage, the A17 works overtime to learn (via ML) about your particular usage. As the algorithms/general software gets used to your usage patterns, it starts automating several processes therefore using less processing power.

Hi! I just wanna mention that the test you are doing here is not scientifically correct. Since the flir device is very sensitive to what kind of surface the measurement is done at.

A mattress is not a neutral surface lmao. It is always said not to put phones/laptops on beds/blankets/carpet as there is no way for heat to escape.
