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.

oof i can’t imagine using it in my country where it’s 30 degrees celcius and above on average everyday.

oof i can’t imagine using it in ~~my country~~Apple's home state, California where it’s ~~30~~ 40+ degrees celcius and above on average ~~everyday~~ in summer, and Death Valley has pretty much the world record.

I mean if they didn't test it in Cali I wouldn't know where at all...

California is a big state with lots of different climates. The bay area doesn't typically get that hot.

I haven’t noticed a heating issue and I live in a very hot climate. So, it’s not universal.

Same here, no issues so far.

My 15 pro max is cold all the time, I haven’t played any 3d games yet though. It was cold during restore process and it’s cold when charging

Yeah I’ve not had problems on any of my families 15 or 15 Pros, however my iPad Air 5 got hot af last night installing iOS 17 and I ended up putting it in a stand and pointing a fan at it lol

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.
