  1. But how much is too hot for the battery temperature itself. I recently bought an 8 Pro and I can feel it getting warm in my hand when I take a photo or do a simple task. So I installed a battery temperature tester and found that the battery reaches 40 degrees Celsius in a normal room. Does this reduce the battery life? or is it ok overall? I am looking for an answer. If it's not ok, I can return it while I still have time.

  2. It’s been more than 10 years and apple still do not know how to build a phone correctly… the whole corp concept of making business is just “sell trash at gold prices”.

  3. Not new even some old phones may be getting hot. I have iphone 13 and after updating to iOS 17 it's heating despite they had update to solve. It's not as crazy but can still feel the difference before I had updated

  4. I think is software related. I have a iPhone 13 Pro and I have never experienced overheating until the last update. It happened while I was listening to Apple Music cleaning my house and when I grabbed it to change the music it was extremely hot.

  5. Maybe Instagram is sending to much information to Facebook.
    Apps will cause overheating by excessive internet traffic.
    Facebook used to do this quite a bit causing overheating on phones.

  6. Battery health is my concern…last two IPhone battery lasted one year and the health 75%. Normal use and charge. How come the chip gets better but the battery has been the same for years. They could make it last a lot longer but Apple keeps chipping away at it.

  7. my iphone 13 pro max was doing basically exactly what yall are describing, from my smart 5:21 dashcam app “nexar pro” i would grab my phone in the morning and it would be scorching hot and down to like 15% battery from being fully charges 4 hours ago, and my battery usage showed nexar app, i deleted it and my phone has been completely back to normal since then, it was a recent ios update or app update that caused the problem.

  8. I got those issues back then with a rooted samsung s5 back then with cyanogen mod but my battery dropped from 90% to 0% and the whole phone were wiped the second time it happend to me the battery died but thx god I had a replacement battery.

  9. I have an iPhone pro max for a week and something similar to MKBHD happened to me. I sat on a chair, the phone fell of my pocket on the ground and a crack appeared on the back glass, it is more like an half moon at the bottom of the phone so it doesn't look as bad as the one on MKBHD phone but still it is very noticeable… I expected the glass to break over time but from bigger falls.
