Users complain about iPhone 15 Pro overheating and its appearance problems + photo
Only a few days have passed since the arrival of the iPhone 15 series phones in the market, but in this short time we have seen some users complaining about the expensive versions of this family. It seems that iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are facing problems such as overheating of the 3nm A17 Pro chip, uneven color and other defects.
According to user reports, the first series of iPhone 15 Pro phones that have entered the market have various problems. For example, the titanium frame of some of these devices is not uniform in color or is not properly placed next to the display.
user Majin Bu On Twitter, he says that in some iPhone 15 Pro samples, there is even dust under the camera lens, or the screen and different parts of their body are scratched or damaged. In some cases, large bubbles have been seen under the glass of the rear frame. These problems exist in the samples sent to America, China and Europe, and although they are mostly seen in the Pro models, apparently the standard models are not without them.
The A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 15 Pro heats up abnormally
Along with the appearance issues, there have been reports of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which uses the new A17 Pro chip, overheating. In these reports, it is said that Apple’s new flagship heats up very quickly even without running apps and heavy games.
user Revengus Twitter has published a heat map of the iPhone 15 Pro, which shows that the temperature around the point where the A17 Pro chip is located reaches 48 degrees Celsius. Youtube called Vadim Yuriev It is believed that Apple has increased the wattage of its new chip to perform better in benchmarks, but this issue causes the phone to heat up quickly and reduce battery life.
On the other hand, the A17 Pro chip uses the 3nm manufacturing process, and it was reported a few months ago that TSMC had trouble producing new chips with this technology and had a low efficiency rate. As a result, Apple lowered its standards and accepted chips that should have been retired.
This significant increase in temperature in the iPhone 15 Pro also reduces the power of the processor to prevent more serious damage to other parts of the phone. TechTablet’s Twitter account says that chip power reduction due to temperature rise can reduce processing performance by about 25% within 2 minutes.
All in all, it seems that right now is not a good time to buy iPhone 15 Pro models. We have to wait to see how Apple reacts to these reports.
