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
