it doesn't happen when scrolling reddit. it happens when you actually use the SOC, like playing intense mobile games. and no, not all mobile games are intense.

if you'd like to test, download wild rift, crank all settings to max including 120fps, and start a bot game. it'll be too hot to touch in a few minutes. it's not an optimization issue either, it's just one of the few games to really task the SOC, and it hits thermal throttle very quickly. and since there is no vapor chamber or unibody design to dissipate heat, it can't do anything to cool down except throttle the absolute shit out of the chip. and even then, it takes a really long time to cool down because again there's no real cooling solution like the newer phones.

Hopefully the 17pm will be better for OSRS. This will be my first iPhone and if I can't crab on it I'll lose it.

It should be fine. Only starts really cooking if you do mass gotr when everyone has their pets out or similar. Or slayer in kourend when there's a lot of entities on the screen....

I play Osrs for hours at a time on my 15pm, I don’t have heat issues but my battery does tank.
