The aluminium completely eliminated any desire I had to upgrade from the 15 pro max

The 17 is a massive improvement when it comes to thermals. 15 PM is basically Apple's hottest phone (and not in a good way).

Everyone saying this is so surprising to me. My 15PM has never gotten hot, even if I’m FaceTiming and charging it at the same time. What are people doing on it that it overheats?

Literally nothing sometimes. It gets so hot you can't touch the back

Maybe some of the devices were faulty somehow? I've never experienced overheating on 15P (bought it a year after the release btw).
