The Latest iPhone 15 Pro Max Rumors and Concerns: Charging Issues and Heat Problems

Apple's latest iPhone 15 Pro Max has been making headlines for all the right reasons, but also for some unexpected concerns. One of the main issues that's been reported by several users is that the phone gets too hot during fast charging. Ian Zelbo, a 3D artist who makes renderings for Nine to Five Mac, was one of the first to report this issue. He claimed that his iPhone 15 Pro Max was almost too hot to touch while fast charging and that the left side rail felt the hottest where the logic board is. He also mentioned that he used a 30-watt wired power adapter from Nomad, which is a company that works with Apple to make accessories.

Now, it's worth noting that not everyone has experienced this issue. Bulls Lab, a Korean YouTuber, used thermal imaging cameras to test the phone and found that it hit 160 degrees Fahrenheit during demanding use like Benchmark tests and gaming. However, Android Authority's editor-in-chief Amir Siddiqui said he was not doing hard tests or gaming on his iPhone 15 Pro Max and had excessive heat when charging it with a 65-watt USB PD charger. He also mentioned that the issue didn't happen when he switched to a slower 15-watt charger.

The question remains, why is the phone getting too hot during fast charging? Apple's support page says that the iPhone should be able to charge fine with any USBC cable and power adapter that is compliant with the USBC standard. However, it seems that there may be some issues with certain chargers or adapters. It's also worth noting that the phone does get hotter than normal when you first set it up, as Apple even mentions in their support page.

As for the durability of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, one thing is clear: it can crack if dropped hard enough. The presentation pointed out how titanium makes the phone lighter, but also noted that it's still made of glass. All Glass iPhones can crack with one drop, trust me, I know from experience. A few years ago, I bought an iPhone and accidentally dropped it without a case within hours of getting it, and with one drop it shattered.

Despite the concerns about heat and durability, there are some positive developments when it comes to accessories for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. One company that's offering a fine woven case is Nine to Five Mac, and it's made of vegan-friendly materials. There are also other options available from companies like Moft, which offers a leather alternative case made from synthetic materials.

If you're experiencing any unusual heat issues with your iPhone 15 Pro Max, there are some steps you can take to cool it down. If your phone gets too warm or too cold, a temperature warning screen will show up on the phone, indicating that it's overheating and needs to be cooled down right away. Unplugging the phone, turning it off, and getting it away from sunlight can help to reduce the temperature.

In addition to heat issues, there have also been some videos circulating online of people dropping their iPhones on hard surfaces and claiming they're not as fragile as other iPhone models. However, this is more of an effect of the perception of titanium rather than a real issue with the phone's durability. Apple never claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro Max was the strongest iPhone, but rather that it was made of titanium for its lightness.

Overall, while there are some concerns about heat and durability with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it's clear that not everyone is experiencing these issues. It's also worth noting that Apple is constantly working to improve their products and address any concerns that users may have. As always, getting an AppleCare case, using a protective case, or switching to a leather alternative case can help to mitigate some of the potential damage that your iPhone 15 Pro Max might sustain.
