Phones don't handle heat well. I was outdoors the other day trying to take pictures while it was 90-something, and my phone had to cool off in between shots before it would let me use it again.

In fairness, old digital cameras kinda did the same too

One time It was 35° out and my phone got so hot I had to dip it in water

One time I went to Tim Horton's, and I ate the bowl.

I can excuse killing humans, but killing phones is where I draw the line. Down with climate change!1!!

I think these news are overblown. There are many countries where temperatures of 115F are normal every summer, and people’s phones keep working normally.
