46c… lmfao what a stupid headline.

That is absolutely NOT “hot”or “overheating” for a piece of tech under stress.

The phone housing is the heat sync, and the phone is more powerful than many people’s few year old laptops.

Not to defend apple but this is just trying to sensationalise and farm clicks, my pixel 7 used to get way hotter doing just normal tasks to the point I was getting overheat warnings and the screen would shut off.

Now if it was more like 55c I could see that being an issue at least from a comfort standpoint.

On top of this, pointing a thermal camera as an emissive surface like glass… not the most accurate way to actually get a temperature reading, they should have used a thermal couple… but I’m guessing that would have showed an even less exciting click bait number.

Please take that common sense elsewhere. Here we don’t defend Apple since this is a general technology community. You are supposed to hate them no matter what. Only if this happens to an Android device, we try our best to understand.
