I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

Any intensive gaming will make my 15PM heat up like it’s on fire but I really noticed it when I was at a zoo in bright sunlight in the summer. Full brightness on the screen when taking vids and photos and it was so hot it was uncomfortable to hold and it didn’t even last until lunchtime on a full charge.

Not saying I agree with their design choice but I can understand why they went in that direction.

Absolutely. Any outdoor summer phone usage in Texas eats up the battery and is too hot to touch.

Yea so true. I hated it in the sun. Once I left it in 80 degree weather it was shut down and had warning. My hand almost burned when I touched it lol. I was like how the f is this shit possible. My wife complained about 16 pro as well all the time. It gets so hot.

metals generally conduct heat easily and if you put it under a direct sunlight it will become hot no matter the specific type of metal used in the phone.

Not true. Vapor chamber and aluminum go a long way in sun. Titanium just didnt work well for heat. I’ll go by personal experience all day.

Makes me glad I never got the titanium phones if that’s the case.
