iPhone 15 overheating reports, with temperatures as high as 116F::Widespread reports are circulating about the iPhone 15 overheating, seemingly across all models. Measurements taken with an infrared camera show…
46.6˚C in normal units.
F makes more sense for this. It’s 0-100 on a scale of a human feeling too cold to too hot.
In situations where what’s being discussed is touching human skin: weather, a hot phone, water temp, etc… F does give you a quicker idea of things.
That said, downvote me away!
No need to downvote, I can handle someone having a different opinion.
Fahrenheit doesn’t give a shit about human temperature, he based it on some obscure things (which I can’t remember right now). It doesn’t even fit with human temperature, I think human temperature is like 97 or 98 °F or something like that. The argument was made only to have some argument, it’s not a property of Fahrenheit.
It does make exactly as much sense as Celsius with one important distinction - Celsius plays nicely with other SI units.
Seriously, the only correct answer to
how many foot-pounds does it take to heat 1 fl oz of water by 1° Fisfuck you.I don’t mean it’s body temperature. I mean it’s good for describing temperature felt by a human. The weather is a scale of 0 being too cold to 100 being too hot. The typical person never sees temperature outside this range in their weather, but a good bit of the full range.
When describing weather, you don’t care about 213 being boiling temp and converting to SI. In all Other uses, yes, C is better.
That’s just you being used to the imperial system. I have no problem describing the difference between 0°C, 20°C and 40°C.

It only gives YOU a quicker idea because you are used to it.
I don’t deny that. But it’s also a well suited 0-100 scale for weather. It’s rare for a native C person to agree. I accept and expect the downvotes because hurr durr usa is dumb. To be clear, C is way better for anything other than things that touch my skin.
What’s this 0-100 scale you’re using? Just a personal comfort gauge that you’re assuming everyone uses? I’m American and it doesn’t even make sense to me. 70ish is room temperature, 98 is body temperature, 32 is freezing. That’s a really weird scale which doesn’t have any nuance to it especially since temperatures reach above 100 or below 0 in a lot of places. Add on that people like different temps and it’s really confusing.
For anyone willing to learn, a lot of devices have conversions from F to C. I have about half of my temp reporting equipment split so I can better understand C since all I personally knew was F. It also helps to have the formula in your head and convert it anytime you see F so you’ll slowly be comfortable knowing both of them. (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8 = Celsius, usually just do / 2 for a simpler time: i.e. 72F - 32 = 40 / 2 = 20C (really 22.222C but it gets you in the ballpark at least). It’s even easier to use the formula since 32 is Fahrenheit’s freezing temp so just always minus that away and divide by 2.
Like others have said, Fahrenheit is just easier for us because it’s what we grew up with and learned. It has nothing to do with the actual system besides personal experience. Thinking the “0-100” is a scale that makes sense when the bottom 3/4 is colder than comfortable room temperature is just being irrational.
And if anyone’s wondering that’s 116°F in more normaler units
Edit: it’s a multi layered joke guys chill. Joke is Americans can’t read, the °F is in the title. The other joke is that American grammar is shit
Nearly 320K in the normalest units.
It’s exactly 1 in a new unit I just invented, it’s called 46.6˚C. So it’s 1 46.6˚C. And currently it’s nice 0.3 46.6˚C here.
That’s 576R in a unit the Jedi wouldn’t tell you.
You talking about 0.028 eV?
German actually.
YOU SHUT UP! FAHRENHEIT WAS AN AMERICAN! LIKE GALILEO!
Cries in Rankine
I loled. Fuck the haters
Lemmy can be pretty hostile to non-European standards. It's weird… I wonder if Europeans are just using more accounts than Americans, and stacking votes.
If not… Then yikes, if Lemmy is losing the American audience, that's bad news, friends.
We've had enough of USdefaultism over there on reddit.
Yes, every European has at least 3 lemmy accounts, as required by the European constitution.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are both European units. It's just that Fahrenheit is used by less than 5% of the world's population, so it's completely reasonable to expect a post title on an international website like this to use Celsius.
There are a lot more Europeans online than Americans (not to mention a few billion internet users on other continents), so when Americans post temperatures exclusively in Fahrenheit it comes across as kinda thoughtlessly parochial.
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.
It is not comfortable to hold a 46C metal object in your hand.
It depends on how you’re holding it and how spread that heat is. 46° isn’t something great to be grasping for extended periods of time, but if you’re physically touching 30°C parts of the phone and a part with no physical contact with your skin is 46°C, it’s probably not that bad.
My s7 edge used to hit these temps. The annoying part was the throttling and shutdowns. I never really felt like I was burning my hands using the thing.
Excuse me, but this has “you’re holding it wrong” energy. And according to this page, 44°C is starting to feel painful to touch, and 47° is enough to cause 1st degree burn.
Proteins and enzymes begin to denaturate at temps >40°C, that’s why a feaver exceeding this temperature is dangerous and why we feel a warning pain at 44°C.
but it looks so cozy
It’s not “overheating” either though is it?
46c is not that hot at all, that’s like half as hot as a cup of coffee.
It’s probably not ideal… but also not at all new and about the same as my S22 ultra hits under load or when charging which runs far cooler than my previous pixel 7 which would actively overheat if you tried to run maps while charging it on a warm day, to the point it would force the screen to min brightness after about 30min.
Yeah, I’ve had overheating issues while running maps and charging on older iPhones too. Not with Apple Maps but with third party mapping software that pushed the CPU/GPU a little too hard. Doesn’t tend to happen on modern hardware with mature mapping software.
Also, iPhones do a lot of computation on your photo library while charging. They do things locally on device that Google would do in the cloud. Combine that (for years of photos and not just the ones you took in the last day or so) with normal heat from charging the battery and 46°C seems pretty reasonable to me.
Look here, apple fan boy. You can try to piss and moan whatever way you want, but if you read the article you’d see this was happening while charging or just watching videos and doing “light duty use”. A 116f case is absolutely not normal for that. My three+ year old phone doesn’t even get a bit warm doing any of that. If my phone went over 90f from watching videos I’d be pissed. Apple likely screwed something up on their software side and the processor is spinning its gears hard for little to no reason.

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.
I have only noticed the heat when on a phone call.

Thats nothing.? Sneakily using fahrrneit to make it sound like a big deal. I hate Apple as much as the next guy but this is exploitative journalism
What? 116 degrees is pretty dang hot.
Edit: It's literally at the threshold of a first degree burn.
Its insides getting that hot doesn't matter hell it is more than normal for a phone under heavy load(gaming and stuff)
If you read the article its the entire phone that gets hot, not just the "insides". While a slight increase in temp under heavy load is normal, becoming too hot to even pick up is not.
I mean come on, this is a design flaw without question, you can easily get burned by a 115°F metal case.
I see yea I just read the headline on here hence my uninformed take
There are at least two countries in the world that use Fahrenheit in a regular basis. US is one of them.
I'll rather they use Celsius, but still it's weird to think this is only to make "exploitative journalism".
Some context:
http://www.antiscald.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=15
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.
What about 1st degree burns? Would these be ok?
So one semi long YouTube video is all it would take to get a burn? And you’d not even need a full length movie to need a trip to the hospital?
I get that these aren’t “instant” burns, but this is still a device people regularly hold for hours a day. And if you don’t realize it’s heating up, you’re likely to notice only when you’re in pain.
He skipped 1st degree burns. Those would probably take 10 minutes or less.
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
That’s the treshold for you to get a 1st degree burn. No, it’s not instantaneous at that temperature, but it certainly denotes that it shouldn’t get there at all.
After several hours of unventilated and insulated continuous unmoving and firm contact… definitely at risk of first degree burns here.
This is just to get clicks.
I had a feeling you were smuggling a popsicle.
Apple apologists amaze me. This isn't a fucking cpu inside a shell, it's the outside of a handheld device.
