Iphone 14 Pro Max overheating
Like others have already stated, my 14 Pro Max is also overheating but I believe I've narrowed it down to the point i can repro on demand. It's got to do with "environmental variables" as, the phone heating up while using it is Not significant enough when used - indoors* . However, when used outside in ambient conditions (Florida) but NOT in direct sunlight, the phone will cook just right to the 3rd camera lense toward the center of the device. This can be reproduced with ease by closing all the apps, setting brightness to 30 % or less, then opening YT and Safari. Watch a 3 min YT video, and browse for about 10min. Browsing doesn't have to be video intensive, just casual like Amazon or whatever. Within about 10min Temps will reach 100 or so. Screen goes dim, very hard to see the background. The quick fix is to place the phone in front of the A/C duct in the car: cool it for about 3-4 min and it's back to normal range. (Then the cycle starts again)
My battery health is at 100%, app utilization is 44% safari, 9% YT, and the rest are under 9 %.
Just upgraded to the latest iOS (as of posting this comment) and no change.
Just switched to a Galaxy s23 Ultra for time being and it has been a painful experience lol but at least no burning issues (pun intended) Hoping to get the issues fixed and return to the apple platform asap :) đđđ
