Apple took wraps off its iPhone 15 series— iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max on Sept. 12 “Wonderlust” event and the spotlight of the show has been iPhone 15 Pro line up which includes iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Apple Analyst Ming Chi Kuo on Medium claimed that the overheating issues on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are not related to the first-of-its-kind 3nm node used for Apple’s latest and most powerful yet A17 Pro SoC. He, rather, emphasized it could be due to “compromises made in the thermal system design.”
Apple’s decision to make these compromises resulted in a reduction in the weight of the iPhone 15 Pro models. However, Kuo suggests that these changes, such as the reduced heat dissipation area and the use of a titanium frame, have had a detrimental effect on the devices’ thermal efficiency.

Apple’s titanium move has been in bad books among a few. Notably, its Pro Max variant failed JerryRigEverything’s bend test. He recalled that last phone to fail this test was an iPhone 6 Plus, about 9 years ago.
While this may not affect a user’s day-to-day life, it should have been addressed before shipments began, especially from a tech behemoth like Apple. However, Apple is soon expected to fix this issue with a software update.
