Re: Internal Change to iPhone 16 Models Expected to Reduce Overheating

Shortly after the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were released
last September, some customers began to experience an issue with the
devices overheating. Apple eventually mitigated the problem with an iOS
17 update, but it might go a step further with the iPhone 16 models
that are set to be released later this year.
 
The Information today cited a source who said that iPhone 16 models
will be equipped with a "larger graphite sheet" inside the chassis of
the devices, to address potential overheating. This corroborates a
rumor from last November that claimed iPhone 16 models would feature an
improved thermal management system.
 
Apple is expected to release the iPhone 16 series in September, so the
devices should be just a few months away from launching. With this
rumored change, the post-launch overheating issue should be a thing of
the past.

It's obvious that one of the main reasons Apple has so many problems with
their phones is that their lack of R&D means that they also lack testing.

An example of Apple's sordid lack of R&D testing is the fact that
batterygate happened, which was a surprise to Apple (even as Apple was
desperate to cover it up, that coverup costing Apple over a billion).

Another example of Apple's lack of R&D testing is the fact that the iPhone
is always the most exploited smartphone on the market, bar none.

Forgetting about the "you're holding it wrong" lack of testing by Apple,
and forget that FaceTime was *never* tested (which Google had proved),
think about how great Apple products would be if they were actually tested.

With all the money Apple earns, you'd think they could test their products
- but all tehy really need to do is ADVERTISE that they tested them.

And people (who don't know the facts) believe it.
Even though Apple is the only company who only fully supports one release.

Think of how safe an iPhone would really be - if Apple bothered to test it.
