Oops! That's definitely not good. It sounds like the phone doubles as a hotplate. Bummer for Apple and consumers.

reminds me of the note 7 battery issues. hopefully they don't explode.

shocking!!!!!!!!!

I would think that over heating would have been noticed long before release. The number of complaints can't be ignored... we have a problem Houston.

The wife was just about to order her iPhone 15 Pro. I told her to hold off after reading this. Thanks for posting.

They'll fix the heat issue with an update. The problem that is concerning is the glass next to the titanium breaking so easily. That is definitely NOT and easy fix.

Fixing with an update is fine as long as the problem is rogue processes that shouldn't be generating that heat in the first place. If the problem is physical, that they don't have adequate heat dissipation, then any fix will come down to throttling, and that will need to be done very carefully to avoid a second round of complaints.

(If that is the case I'd advise them to issue the same fix to the non-Pro models, even though they don't seem to need it. Because they will have an issue if the fix is to throttle the phone and people find that the non-Pro is faster than the Pro as a result).

But in the interest of balance, at least they aren't actually igniting...

"Hotgate" or "Heatgate"?

the phrase 'they don't make 'em like they used to' couldn't be any more true today, on a lot of fronts.

Apple are claiming that it's a software bug that allows some processes to run out of control. Why it only seems to affect the Pros wasn't mentioned.
