Apple may reduce the performance of the 3nm A17 Pro processor due to massive overheating of the iPhone 15 Pro::The problem of overheating of iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max smartphones is becoming widespread. It is possible that Apple will be forced to take the unpopular step of reducing the performance of the latest 3nm A17 Pro chip.
How does something like this not show up in tests?
They just figured oh well it works well in Cupertino. They omitted the fact that Cupertino doesn’t get super hot, ever.
People have used it in very hot areas and it has been fine, with no overheating issues.
People have used it in very temperate areas and it has turned into a small furnace.
The controlling variable is almost certainly not ambient temperature.
During tests they were holding it wrong.

Bizarrely I’ve had zero issues with overheating on the 15 Pro Max, even when playing games while charging or during initial installation. Does anyone know other scenarios in which it overheats?
It’s not ambient temperature. Tons of people have had no problems using it in in places like Arizona or Florida. Other people have had it turn into a small furnace in much cooler areas / indoors. There’s something else going on.
