iPhone 15 Pro has can have overheating problems

FTFY

This.

Been using mine heavily for a week now, it’s fine.

It depends on how youre using it and what youre actively doing from what ive seen. Its common for it to get hot for those doing the initial, just bought phone and transfering data due to the amount of data transfered between devices.

The other way people see it is when gaming, one reviewer I believe had the phone throttle while playing genshin impact, and heavier gaming is becoming a bigger marketing tool for Apple recently, as its actively advertising Resident Evil on its phone, and theres a few more devs coming along too. While phone gaming is a minority in cellphone use cases, its actually considered the largest paying base when considering the entire gaming industry.

I'd bet my left nut that games like Resident Evil aren't why mobile gaming makes so much money. It's those ridiculous F2P gem and city building games that have so many opportunities to buy coins that people get addicted.

Of course... but as he said as a marketing tool, you are not going to sell that kind of games on an apple presentation :P....specially if the intention is show how much powerful it is.

of course not, its always gacha that profits, as thats the current situation its that AAA titles moving onto it open up a new market. it just terrible timing that opening up the new market coincided with the hottest iphone in awhile

Same here and also haven’t noticed any heat issues. Admittedly though I’m not running resource heavy apps for long like some people do.

I have a friend with a 14 pro and she’s been having tons of heat issues since upgrading to iOS 17 so perhaps it’s not a 15 specific issue.

If it affects some phones, then it's a problem with the entire product because you don't know if it will affect your device.
