They probably do get less hot overall but that doesn’t mean they can’t overheat. All phones just by the fact they lack internal fans and/or water coolling rely on their cases serving as Gia t heat seats. This works to a large degree but in extreme heat situation of if they are exposed to direct sunlight on a hot day, the iPhones methods of cooling will fail to keep up with the heat and you can sometimes find the phone needing to cool down before use. Since I am not aware a scientific study that looks and overheating in iPhones vs Android phones it may be that iPhones do indeed overheat less then Android but iPhone users just don’t notice it as much since they don’t use Android.

It regained its use as planned just in time to enter in my code for school. The level of care that Apple takes into its products has always been present, even on a crappy ol’ 2015 iPhone 6

Never had my iPhone overheat before. It’s only getting warm while fast charging and wireless charging and maybe when installing a new iOS update but that’s it. Never even had the problem of my phone dimming the display either

Amazing video as always!!! BTW you can also make a video on “how i have literally every piece of information about Apple and iPhones”

Only time I’ve ever experienced this was a few years ago when I was outside working on my car and left my phone on a table in direct sunlight. No music was playing and it wasn’t charging or anything, just simple sunlight caused it to get too hot. I went to check the time and saw the message, it cooled down after 10 minutes in the shade. Haven’t had an overheat issue since

Thanks a lot for the info! Really appreciate it!

Of course avoid direct sunlight, that will heat up anything (including eggs on asphalt road). this video fails to mention that there is no internal heat sink inside of iPhones. Samsung has engineered copper lined vapor chambers & graphene chassis to help mitigate overheating. it’s not perfect but helps with daily tasks where iOS would screen dim like graphics intensive games. If Apple did this it might help daily CPU intensive tasks (outside of direct sunlight). full disclosure. i own all apple products so i’m not an android fanboy trying to troll. just a portion that could be improved because there’s been times where i’m gaming indoors (genshin impact) & the screen will dim just from CPU throttling alone.

Where I am in Australia; for a few months a year, phones are almost unusable for in-car navigation. Even with the air conditioning turned on! I regularly find my iPhones getting too hot and shutting off. Good luck getting the phone to charge whilst navigating too. Would be a pipe dream to achieve that. Half the year round the phone has to automatically cripple the brightness as well to prevent overheating.
