iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F::Widespread reports are circulating about the iPhone 15 overheating, seemingly across all models. Measurements taken with an infrared camera show…
46.6˚C in normal units.
And if anyone’s wondering that’s 116°F in more normaler units
Edit: it’s a multi layered joke guys chill. Joke is Americans can’t read, the °F is in the title. The other joke is that American grammar is shit
Nearly 320K in the normalest units.
It’s exactly 1 in a new unit I just invented, it’s called 46.6˚C. So it’s 1 46.6˚C. And currently it’s nice 0.3 46.6˚C here.
You talking about 0.028 eV?
That’s 576R in a unit the Jedi wouldn’t tell you.
German actually.
YOU SHUT UP! FAHRENHEIT WAS AN AMERICAN! LIKE GALILEO!
Cries in Rankine
I loled. Fuck the haters
Lemmy can be pretty hostile to non-European standards. It’s weird… I wonder if Europeans are just using more accounts than Americans, and stacking votes.
If not… Then yikes, if Lemmy is losing the American audience, that’s bad news, friends.
We’ve had enough of USdefaultism over there on reddit.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European units. It’s just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world’s population, so it’s completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.
To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is “really fucking cold” and 100 degrees is “really fucking hot.” So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as “yeah that’s way too fucking hot for a phone.”
This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.
Why are Americans so bad at geography 🤦
You do know there’s a world outside of the US and Europe, you know? And guess what, they all use Celsius.
This isn’t a Europe Vs US thing. This is a US Vs the world thing. Don’t be surprised when people want to use the actual standard.
Yes, every European has at least 3 lemmy accounts, as required by the European constitution.
Are you stupid? Lemmy isn’t hostile to the US. We are hostile to idiots who do not recognize standards. That this includes most of the US is just a coincidence.
Lol, second comment this morning I’ve seen someone complaining about their fundamentally incorrect statement is recieving “unfair” hostility…
No, you’re just wrong and people downvoted you because of it
46c… lmfao what a stupid headline.
That is absolutely NOT “hot”or “overheating” for a piece of tech under stress.
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.
On top of this, pointing a thermal camera as an emissive surface like glass… not the most accurate way to actually get a temperature reading, they should have used a thermal couple… but I’m guessing that would have showed an even less exciting click bait number.
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.
Excuse me, but this has “you’re holding it wrong” energy. And according to this page, 44°C is starting to feel painful to touch, and 47° is enough to cause 1st degree burn.
but it looks so cozy
It’s not “overheating” either though is it?
46c is not that hot at all, that’s like half as hot as a cup of coffee.
It’s probably not ideal… but also not at all new and about the same as my S22 ultra hits under load or when charging which runs far cooler than my previous pixel 7 which would actively overheat if you tried to run maps while charging it on a warm day, to the point it would force the screen to min brightness after about 30min.
Yeah, I’ve had overheating issues while running maps and charging on older iPhones too. Not with Apple Maps but with third party mapping software that pushed the CPU/GPU a little too hard. Doesn’t tend to happen on modern hardware with mature mapping software.
Also, iPhones do a lot of computation on your photo library while charging. They do things locally on device that Google would do in the cloud. Combine that (for years of photos and not just the ones you took in the last day or so) with normal heat from charging the battery and 46°C seems pretty reasonable to me.
Look here, apple fan boy. You can try to piss and moan whatever way you want, but if you read the article you’d see this was happening while charging or just watching videos and doing “light duty use”. A 116f case is absolutely not normal for that. My three+ year old phone doesn’t even get a bit warm doing any of that. If my phone went over 90f from watching videos I’d be pissed. Apple likely screwed something up on their software side and the processor is spinning its gears hard for little to no reason.

Just in time for autumn! A hand warmer!
It’s the hottest Apple iPhone yet!!
This reminds me of the Samsung Phone incident… not as bad as that but it’s just something that popped up in my mind.
I have only noticed the heat when on a phone call.
Some context:
http://www.antiscald.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=15
At 116F you would require firm, continuous contact for more than 20 minutes to produce a 2nd degree burn, and over 45 minutes to produce a 3rd degree burn.
So one semi long YouTube video is all it would take to get a burn? And you’d not even need a full length movie to need a trip to the hospital?
I get that these aren’t “instant” burns, but this is still a device people regularly hold for hours a day. And if you don’t realize it’s heating up, you’re likely to notice only when you’re in pain.
He skipped 1st degree burns. Those would probably take 10 minutes or less.
What about 1st degree burns? Would these be ok?

Thats nothing.? Sneakily using fahrrneit to make it sound like a big deal. I hate Apple as much as the next guy but this is exploitative journalism
What? 116 degrees is pretty dang hot.
Edit: It’s literally at the threshold of a first degree burn.
Its insides getting that hot doesn’t matter hell it is more than normal for a phone under heavy load(gaming and stuff)
If you read the article its the entire phone that gets hot, not just the “insides”. While a slight increase in temp under heavy load is normal, becoming too hot to even pick up is not.
I mean come on, this is a design flaw without question, you can easily get burned by a 115°F metal case.
I see yea I just read the headline on here hence my uninformed take
Apple themselves say that a phone at consistently higher than 35C will suffer from battery capacity damage
There are at least two countries in the world that use Fahrenheit in a regular basis. US is one of them.
I’ll rather they use Celsius, but still it’s weird to think this is only to make “exploitative journalism”.
If it’s not uncomfortable to hold or triggers the built in heat warning then you are fine. This isn’t a gameboy in the Kuwait sun.
Temps over 35C can cause damage to batteries capacity.
Oh no 116f, like seriously guys this will melt the Popsicle in my pocket
That’s the treshold for you to get a 1st degree burn. No, it’s not instantaneous at that temperature, but it certainly denotes that it shouldn’t get there at all.
After several hours of unventilated and insulated continuous unmoving and firm contact… definitely at risk of first degree burns here.
This is just to get clicks.
Apple apologists amaze me. This isn’t a fucking cpu inside a shell, it’s the outside of a handheld device.
User: “Hey guys my phone gave me a burn, is that normal?”
Apple fanboy: “Depends, what phone is it?”
User: “It’s an iPhone”
Apple fanboy: “Oh in that case it’s fine, don’t worry about it”
I had a feeling you were smuggling a popsicle.
