Some users are reporting that their new iPhone 15 Pros are running hot, and it may have to do with its build.
Apple talked extensively about the Titanium build on the iPhone 15 Pro, which is not only lighter, but also more resistant to the elements. The company also mentions that the chassis substructure, which is made out of aluminum, » helps with thermal dissipation.» But it appears in the process of refining the hardware architecture, temperature management took a backseat, which is evident from scores of social media reports about overheating on the iPhone 15 Pro. Some users report that the phone runs hot after using the camera, while others claim that the phone heats up considerably while charging.
