#Too Hot to Handle: Is Your New iPhone 15 Pro Getting Too Hot?
Key Highlights :
If you recently purchased the new iPhone 15 Pro, you might want to be careful about using it for strenuous activities like filming 4K videos. Reports have been flooding in online accusing the new flagship of becoming hot to the point of physical discomfort. Fortunately, the folks over at Android Authority have conducted detailed tests with a temperature gun to confirm the phenomenon.
The iPhone 15 Pro maintains a relatively normal temperature while doing basic tasks like web browsing and watching YouTube videos. However, running a GPU stress test puts the iPhone 15 Pro's external temperature at 47.4 degrees Celsius, which is 3-6 degrees hotter than the other two phones. 10 minutes of recording 4K/60FPS videos runs the temperature up to 43.7 degrees Celsius, while neither of the other two phones cross 40 degrees Celsius while doing the same thing.
That's really hot, especially for something you hold in your hand. Thankfully, none of the data suggests the phones overheat to the point of malfunction. However, they can certainly become uncomfortable to wrap your fingers around.
Until Apple addresses this issue, it might be wise to be cautious when recording 4K videos with your new iPhone 15 Pro. If you want to take full advantage of the phone's capabilities, you may want to invest in a heat-resistant case or a cooling pad. This will help to keep the phone from getting too hot and help to ensure that your phone remains in optimal condition for longer.
