Other Are newer iPhones better about heat management?

I think the latest versions becomes much less hot than previous generations when using them in normal use.

I set my iPhone 15 Pro to 80% i use WiFi in home make few phone calls, after around 25 hours since being charged to 80% my phone is 73%. i won't recharge phone till 2pm today battery shows normal.

I notice no heat in pocket or while it is charged, geting phone back to 80% takes maybe 20 minuets.

I am thinking your Aps might be using your battery, try setting them to only when in use.

Mine started overheating on 17.5 developer beta. RC on it. Still and issue. Only running maps with wired charging.
Would an DMU reset reinstall of 17.5 help?

iPhones have never worked well in the car. Hot sun, having to run the display at max to overcome sunlight, trying to charge and run apps at the same time, running the radios for Bluetooth and CarPlay, crappy hot wireless chargers. Something has to give.

My strong advice … give up on the in car wireless charger and get a third party wireless charger that actively cools the phone via a built in peltier plus fan. That works perfectly.

This. 💯

I have found many of the built-in car wireless chargers do not play very nice with many phones, it is a hit or miss (mostly miss), the phones get hot and don’t charge efficiently.

I’m a very light phone user (half an hour a day, max), and I’ve had an iPhone 12 mini for the past 3 years. I still love the smaller form factor and I don’t need to upgrade. But my one huge complaint about the 12 mini is that it can’t seem to handle the heat. After about 18 months on my original 12 mini, I could no longer use the phone plugged in for carplay navigation because it would overheat and drop the CarPlay connection. I ended up swapping selling the old one and buying a new (refurb from apple with 100% battery). That seemed to work better, but the phone still got VERY hot. Now I have a new car with wireless charging, and even when I’m NOT using the phone at all, it can’t charge on the car’s wireless charger without overheating. And one of my only key uses for the phone is to use it on a tripod to video golf swings, but in the sun (even in cool temps - 65 degrees) it will often overheat.

My question: if I upgrade to a newer phone can I feel confident that I can use it on the car wireless charger and take video without it constantly overheating? And if so, do I need to go to the 14, the 15??

Finally someone who talks about this.. between charging and wireless carplay what really gets to me is the laggy feeling of the phone (iPhone 12 pro) the whole UI gets jumpy and I don't know or think the newer models will be any better.

The Mini always got very hot in my car when wireless charging - mostly because it was too small to land in the correct spot for it. And when you charge off-center it gets more and more inefficient, causing more heat. Pretty much why MagSafe was invented. Sadly cars don't seem to have it yet, even though it makes perfect sense there..

Not had this problem with the 15 Pro yet.

I stopped using the wireless Qi charger built into my EV.

Gets way too hot!

Now I just use an aftermarket Qi charger mounted near my infotainment system.
