46.6˚C in normal units.

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.

Obviously, you're holding it wrong

It's the hottest Apple iPhone yet!!

Just in time for autumn! A hand warmer!

But is has ~T~i~T~a~N~i~U~m~

Some context:

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? My 250€ Motorola also has this feature, they are slacking behind

This is a massive problem. It's not ok for a device which millions of people use to get so hot. This could cause a fire given the right conditions.

I hope this gets reported on the mainstream news so people realise Apple isn't so great after all.

This is by far not the first time they've had hardware issues with their products. I think hardware is their Achilles heel.

Not that I feel sorry for them considering how much they fleece customers on the prices for the devices, repairs, accessories, the amount of times they tell you to get a whole new Mac when all it needs is 1 part etc.
