iPhone 15 Pro overheating as a result of poor thermal management
The news that some iPhone 15 Pro series phones have been discovered to overheat cannot have escaped your notice. Since their introduction, hot-running Pro models have been a source of complaints.
The A17 Pro chipset isn't to blame for the overheating, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has concluded in a note, but rather the concessions Apple made in the design of the cooling system. The A17 Pro is constructed using TSMC's cutting-edge new 3nm node, which is very efficient but still generates more heat than the device can handle.
The reason for this is Apple's attempts to make the new iPhone Pro models lighter. According to reports, Apple had to limit the surface for heat dissipation, which, combined with titanium's increased heat conductivity, leads to worse heat management for the new processor.
With a software update, Apple will probably address the throttling concerns; nevertheless, this will just manage the issue. Limiting a phone's performance and thus its power consumption will make it produce less heat, which is the only way to genuinely stop a phone from overheating with a software update.
Only a portion of the phones are impacted, according to Kuo's assumption, which is not entirely accurate. For what it's worth, we are not seeing overheating on our review devices, and forums covering the topic have received a lot of answers from folks who are unable to reproduce the issue. Could it be that the cooling pads on different phones are made of various materials? We'll be sure to keep an eye on this and update you.
