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.

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.

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.

Oh no 116f, like seriously guys this will melt the Popsicle in my pocket
