iPhone 15 Pro overheating linked to Titanium, not A17 Pro: Analyst

Apple's iPhone 15 Pro lineup introduces the formidable A17 Pro chip renowned for its exceptional computational and graphical prowess. Recent reports suggested overheating issues plaguing these devices, but a prominent analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, asserts that the culprit isn't the A17 Pro chip but rather the internal design and the introduction of a titanium finish.

Kuo explains that the iPhone 15 Pro models' overheating woes are not attributed to TSMC's 3nm A17 Pro chip, which is functioning as intended. Instead, the root of the problem lies in the internal design choices made by Apple this year. To manage the device's weight, compromises were made in the thermal system. This could mean the use of fewer heat dissipation methods or materials to prevent an increase in the device's weight.

Furthermore, the adoption of titanium metal, while offering durability and a matte finish with fewer fingerprints, has adversely impacted thermal efficiency. This material's properties contribute to the overheating issue. Kuo acknowledges that software updates may offer a partial solution, but the ultimate remedy might involve throttling the device's performance to prevent overheating, potentially undermining the purpose of the powerful 3nm chip.

As the iPhone 15 Pro series has just been released, addressing these overheating concerns is essential. However, an immediate hardware recall appears unlikely. The A17 Pro chip is undeniably potent and can handle demanding tasks, including high-end gaming on larger external monitors. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving situation.
