Overheating Issues of iPhone 15 Pro Max
The iPhone 15 Pro Max has faced complaints about overheating. Some users report that the device becomes excessively warm even during light tasks like gaming or using the camera. Apple Store employees have referred to this as “expected behavior” and noted that unless a temperature warning is received, the device is considered fine. However, some users have found that performing a complete erase and restore can alleviate the issue, suggesting it might be software-related rather than a design flaw (TechRadar).
New Features: Spatial Video Capture
Apple has introduced spatial video capture with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, allowing users to record 3D videos that can be relived on the upcoming Apple Vision Pro. This feature is part of the iOS 17.2 update and enables capturing life-like moments that can be played back in an immersive view on the Vision Pro. The spatial videos are captured at 1080p, 30 frames per second, using both the Main and Ultra Wide cameras (Apple).
Sales Performance
Despite the heating issues, the iPhone 15 Pro Max remains the best-selling model in early 2024. Its popularity can be attributed to its advanced features and powerful performance, making it a top choice among consumers (MacRumors).
Future Improvements
Looking ahead, Apple is reportedly working on incorporating a graphene thermal system in the iPhone 16 series to address overheating problems more effectively. Graphene is known for its excellent heat dissipation properties, which could help mitigate the issues seen in the iPhone 15 Pro Max (TechRadar).
