Apple's latest iPhone 15 Pro series of mobile phones has been greatly improved in appearance and performance, but it also causes a headache: too much heat! Many users reported that their iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max will become very hot during use, and some people are even worried that the phone will explode. Apple released a software update claiming to solve the problem, but users didn't buy it. Netizens have complained, is this a mobile phone or a microwave oven?
According to foreign media reports, some early buyers of the iPhone 15 Pro series of mobile phones posted in the Reddit community that their phones overheated when calling, charging, playing games or shooting videos. Some netizens said that after 5 minutes of talking, the temperature on the back of their iPhone 15 Pro Max rose to 108°F (about 42°C), and in subsequent tests, it reached 116.5°F (about 47°C). Some users have reported that their iPhone 15 Pro model mobile phone will also heat up in his pocket, and the temperature is so high that it is almost scalded, so that he has no choice but to take it out.
Foreign technology media 9to5Mac investigated this and found that more than fifty percent of users think that their newly bought iPhone 15 has too much heat. The media pointed out that this may be because the iPhone 15 Pro series is equipped with a new A17 Pro chip, which is manufactured using the 5-nanometer process, which is powerful but also more power-hungry. In addition, the settings of the new device may overwork the processor, causing the body to overheat.
Apple responded by saying that it has released a software update for this version to address issues that may have caused the iPhone to run hotter than expected. The company also said that the software update will not slow down the iPhone 15 Pro's new A17 Pro chip. In the mainland, the first owners of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max recently complained online that the phone would overheat when used or charged. The iPhone 15 Pro series is therefore nicknamed "dragon fruit".
A up owner of station B tried the game "Genshin" with iPhone 15 Pro, and in a room temperature environment of 26.5 ° C, after 30 minutes of gameplay, the temperature of the fuselage has soared to 49 ° C, and there is a "frame drop" visible to the naked eye. Another up owner on the same platform said that after recording a ten-minute vlog with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, the temperature of the fuselage reached 51 °C. On Weibo, related issues have also sparked many discussions.
Some netizens said that their iPhone 15 Pro will hiss when charging, and the temperature is very high. Some netizens said that their iPhone 15 Pro Max will freeze when playing "Honor of Kings", and the back cover of the phone is hot. Some netizens complained that their iPhone 15 Pro will become very hot when using Siri, and Siri will also say "I'm hot".
For the feedback of these netizens, Apple did not give a clear response. Some analysts believe that this may be because Apple sacrifices the heat dissipation effect in order to pursue higher performance and longer battery life. There are also suspicions that this may be because Apple has quality problems in the production process.
Whatever the reason, the heat generation problem of the iPhone 15 Pro series has caused dissatisfaction and concern among users. Some even joke that this is a phone or a microwave? Some people have suggested that Apple give users anti-scald gloves or ice packs. Some people also said that they have regretted buying the iPhone 15 Pro series and plan to return or exchange for other brands of mobile phones.
For these users, they hope that Apple will solve this problem as soon as possible so that they can use their beloved phones with peace of mind. For Apple, it is also necessary to pay attention to this issue to avoid affecting its brand image and market share. After all, in the highly competitive smartphone market, users are never short of options.
