The issue has gone beyond these enthusiast message boards and blogs. It was the first news item that popped up on my trading application news feed this morning.

My Blue Pro 512GB is also very warm on calls, and the battery is draining significantly. This appears to be my only heat problem so far-- the phone is cool/normal temp for everything else!

See reports that if you use their included USB C cable it manages the heat better. I dont see how that is possible but for some reason wouldnt be surprised.

You have zero basis for that comment and realistically have no idea if they are all impacted or not as the core issue has not been determined/disclosed.
Could be hardware, could be software. Either way, that does not mean ALL units are impacted. Could be certain batches of hardware causing the issue or a software bug that is only triggered under certain uses cases.
These people never learn.
Every year every September these same posts.
It is too big, is it too small, is it a brick, is it weak, is it too hot, is it too loud.
Sometimes I think they are either just gagging for attention, or are spoilt brats with real first world problems, are suckers for click bait, or they are working for Samsung/Huawei.
I can sum up my iPhone pro max easily. It's lighter which was an issue for me. The 14 pro max was a brick in my pocket and hurt my hand at times. The battery is the same and thats great as it was a strong point and industry leader. It's thinner and shorter with the same size screen which is nice. It's the first time ive upgraded and noticed the speed increase, and the camera bump is a huge upgrade.
I'd prefer to get a phone in a "batch" that isn't effected.
No way of knowing that, so until it's fixed for everybody I'm out.
I’m just about to return this and haven’t even opened it. Reviews said the phone and AirPods get stupidly hot. Also the unit buzzes and you can’t charge both at the same time. What’s your opinion on this?

The included cable speed is usb 2.0 2 decades ago speed
If A16 models are being affected, then how come we’re not seeing reports of 14 Pro / Pro Maxes overheating? I’m on iOS 17 and I’ve had absolutely no issues with my 14 PM, the battery life has actually improved.
I've been using an Amazon cord, with no problems in the car 🤷🏼♂️.See reports that if you use their included USB C cable it manages the heat better. I dont see how that is possible but for some reason wouldnt be surprised.

The story has now hit the Wall Street Journal:
It's a good summary of this entire thread absent the FanBoy "just love your phone because Apple can do no wrong" comments. The most significant part of the article: "Apple refused to comment."

was on 3 short phone calls this morning, like 15 minutes each, and now my phone is hot and down to 78%. buddy of mine just sent me the below article. I updated to 17.1 beta to see if it changes anything.
