    iPhone 16 Pro Max 16 Pro Max overheats when charging

    Just got a iPhone 16 Pro max for my wife and it is overheating when charging. It overheated when i was transferring from her previous phone and again when she was charging it the next day. Not hot enough to burn or shut off but enough to be uncomfortable. Should i exchange it? Anyone else seen this?

    Cannot get a good repaste on 2014 15" MacBook Pro

    Hi! I have re-pasted my late 2013 logic board's CPU and GPU numerous times over the years. After finding out about PTM7950 thermal "pads" I switched over to that because it's supposed to last much longer and not need repasting every 6 months to a year. It worked great and I was very happy with...

    iPhone 14 Pro gets very hot even with very light use

    Hi all, I'm posting here in hope that someone may have some suggestions on this odd issue. It's not a strictly recent problem but it's become more apparent with the summer heat: my iPhone 14 Pro gets _very_ hot when I do pretty much anything, but only when it's in use. As long as it's idling...

    Thinking of getting a new computer. Need advice.

    My 2020 MacBook Air with Intel has always struggled with getting warm. I do not like how hot it sometimes gets (the keys on the keyboard were hot to the touch the other day.), especially in the summer. This worries me. Sometimes it smells like a hot electronic, especially as of late. The...

    iPad Pro M4 iPad Pro + Pencil Pro = <2 hours battery life (and other issues)

    I'm hoping that I'm not the only one having these issues with my 4-day-old iPad Pro. The issues seem to be exclusively confined to the Pencil Pro - the device becomes very (and I mean very - to the point it almost becomes uncomfortable to hold) hot after as little as 10 minutes of Pencil use...

    I think I have to return my MBA M3

    Just a month ago, I bought a brand-new MBA M3 and it's continually overheating to the point where it throttles to a pedestrian rate. It's near impossible to use. I use Figma, a lot of Google Meet conversations and it regularly slows to a crawl whereby it's almost impossible to use the laptop...

    Legendary early 27" iMacs

    The 27" iMac... so iconic, so legendary. Only a few of us -users- really respected Apples try back then. Its try to design a great all in one computer!

    iPhone 15/Plus iPhone echo

    Hello. I recently moved to iPhone 15 but I noticed my old 13 has better build quality than the current 15. It feels more solid. Taping on the screen feels different like there’s nothing inside of that phone… the biggest surprise is the back of the phone. Please see the vid attached. Is this the...

    Unexpected Battery Drain & Overheating Issues with new iPhone 15 Pro purchased in the US

    We're based in Austria, Europe, and last month, my wife asked a friend who was traveling in the US to purchase the new iPhone 15 Pro 1TB for her from New Hampshire.

    iPhone 13 mini Hot iPhones are a software problem with iOS 17.

    After upgrading to iOS 17 my 13 Mini gets unusually hot while running specific apps (mapping apps in my case). I’m convinced the “Titanium iPhones are too hot” issue is software related and will be corrected by a ”bug fix” update from Apple. Anyone else experiencing a warm/hot device that was...

    Late 2012 - MD388LL/A - Macmini6.2 overheating issue

    Hello everyone. Since I replaced the processor and thus the conductive paste in my 2013 Mac Pro, I decided to do the same (just change the paste of course) in the late 2012 mini. Traditionally, the process has been trouble-free, but... the Macmini overheats and the operating temperatures reach...

    Resolved 2019 16" Macbook Pro Damaged (by desk lamp leak?)

    I'd been using a trusty Intel 16" Macbook Pro until I got a smaller M1 a few months ago and kept the 16" as backup. Every now and then I got it out of its zippered sleeve, turned it on and updated software and files that I'd wanted to keep synced on both machines. Last time I used the 16" was...
