There’s a lot of iconic problems Apple has had with product launches in the past (attenna-gate and butterfly keyboards are some of the most obvious recent ones), but I cannot for the life of me understand how something like this slips through in 2023. They must have a thermodynamics team that helped engineer the chassis, and the SoC team must know the thermal output of their chip. Did they just not test the device?
Yeah, you would also think they must have had someone with two thumbs who would be able to bend it slightly…
Well where do you think your 2000 dollar goes? The product? Ha. Apple is and was a scam for a decade.
It was probably just cheaper / greater profit margin
The article picture alone is gold.
This is expected if they kept the same N4 node and raised the frequency. Giving that A17 is using TSMC N3E node with raised frequency, this is odd. Or this is -maybe- the silicon lottery due to immature production? Or thermal conductivity of titanium to blame? Effectively keeping the heat inside. This could be really bad for the battery. They don’t like the heat.
I wish overheating was the only problem.
What are the other problems?
It doesn’t fit in my mouth
I know this probably doesn’t need to be written out, but I’m having a really tough day and your comment helped me laugh and feel a little bit better. Thank you
Physically, i think the other ones were that the phone is more fragile (can be broken with bending with only hands), and the phones with darker colored titanium edges gets its paint scratched off easily.
Titanium is very sensitive to scratches, just telling people as anybody who used an Essential PH-1 could tell you (I didd for 4 years)
Almost seems like the scratching of the phone is intentional. It would bring down the resale costs of the device and make them harder to trade in, and prompts consumers to think their phone is older than it really is in order to get them to buy a new one.
Not to mention that the heating issues on iPhone 15 are going to kill the battery faster than previous phones that do not overheat.
Its why imo if youre going to get a 15 pro or better, get the titanium color. Its a “new” color with a titanium border with the least color problems.

It’s probably happening during atmospheric reentry considering they’re shipped in from the outer edges of the solar system.
