Some people on MacRumors said Titanium is so bad, causes overheating and kills the battery... Yet my iPhone 15 Pro Max bought a few weeks after launch with AOD on and using wireless charging still has 100% battery health.
Correct. Chat forums can be fun and helpful, But MacRumors is hardly a physics lab.
Being agreeable, or keeping one's trap shut, is borrrrinnng, and hardly keeps a chat forum afloat. Fortunately for discussion boards, lots of folks are contrarian by nature - prowling for any hook upon which to hang any debate, even just hook-shaped wet noodles.
We cherry-pick five things about metallurgy, thermodynamics, electromagnetism and IT that we heard about in "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", and then act superior like we "cracked the secret code", when the actual equation has a hundred variables in fifteen differentials.
Titanium in iPhones is one of those things, partly because it was raucous fun, but mostly because titanium is so pretty and people love to break pretty things.
Then y'all come along and ruin it with your
practical observations, and reports of
actual performance in hand... Like... The initial heat bloom is caused by workloads reindexing, rekeying and resynching a zillion files with new hardware, plus near-constant use of cell/wifi transceiver for hours -- NOT by suboptimized interfacial thermal conductance between metals and semiconductors??
FIIIINEUH! I guess I'll just go on back to the MS Office 365 vs. Apple Pages/Numbers/Keynote debate. No ridiculous evidence or facts over there...
