Same here. My 15 pro max never gets noticeably warmer than my 14 pro did, even during the initial setup, where it’s doing lots of things. It seems more likely that this is a manufacturing problem that only affects some phones, because people are reporting super hot phones, most of the time, which nobody I know has seen. The phone itself is generating the heat - the climate difference doesn’t sound like the cause.
