IPHONE 15 PRO OVERHEATING
Recently, there have been reports of overheating issues with Apple’s newly launched iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro series. Initial suspicions pointed towards the 3nm process chip as the cause of the problem. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has addressed these concerns and stated that the overheating complaints are unrelated to TSMC’s 3-nanometer node used in the A17 Pro chip.
Kuo suggests that the design compromises made by Apple to reduce the weight of the iPhone 15 Pro models may be responsible for the overheating problems. The reduced heat dissipation area and the use of a titanium frame instead of traditional materials like aluminum alloy or stainless steel have negatively affected the devices’ ability to dissipate heat efficiently.
Apple is expected to address these thermal issues through software updates, but significant improvements may be limited unless Apple decides to reduce processor performance.
Kuo emphasizes that if Apple fails to adequately resolve this concern, it could have a negative impact on the sales of the iPhone 15 Pro series throughout its product life cycle.
As of now, Apple has not issued an official response to the reported overheating problems. The company’s response to these concerns will be crucial in determining how it affects customer perception and sales.
