Is the iPhone 15 experiencing overheating issues? No need to worry about TSMC in this situation.

The previous week’s column from The Macalope playfully proposed that the iPhone 15 Pro could potentially face a concern with a sharp edge at the screen’s lip. However, this issue has proven to be uncommon and not a major problem. What was actually intended to be conveyed is that overheating could be the potential flaw in the iPhone 15 Pro that could cause a scandal.

He is sorry for the mistake.

There have been concerns regarding the iPhone 15 Pro overheating in specific regions.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the supplier is not TSMC.

Wow. Man. Firstly, how did you manage to enter this place? Secondly, was it mentioned that it was TSMC?

Is it you, Todd? Do you tend to make wild guesses? Larry, do you have an unfounded dislike for TSMC? No, Todd and Larry did not mention it.

Despite this, Ming-Chi Kuo quickly informed everyone that the overheating issue with the iPhone 15 Pro is not related to TSMC’s 3nm chip manufacturing, which is a new addition to iPhones with the A17 Pro chip.

It is possible that someone would have eventually mentioned that TSMC’s process could be the cause. Kuo’s post has a tone of secrecy, so it is likely that his sources in the supply chain asked him to address the issue before it became public.

According to my survey, the overheating problems with the iPhone 15 Pro series are not connected to TSMC’s advanced 3nm technology.

Kuo does not specify the specifics of his “survey.” Did he gather feedback from iPhone 15 Pro users? Thermal specialists? Individuals who have watched the film “Heat,” either the 1987 Burt Reynolds version or the 1995 Pacino/De Niro/Kilmer production, but not the lesser-known 1972 movie because it may be difficult to locate?

It is probable that he consulted his connections in the supply chain. What would they have responded? “Oops, our mistake. It seems chips can be made too small. We’ll know for next time!”?

Doubtful.

While it is understandable that he wants to show loyalty to those who introduced him to the Apple rumors scene, his speculations can sometimes be excessive.

The main reason for this issue is likely due to adjustments made in the thermal system design in order to reduce weight, such as using a smaller heat dissipation area and a titanium frame. This has a negative impact on thermal efficiency. It is anticipated that Apple will address this problem through software updates, but there may be limited improvements unless they decrease the processor’s performance. If Apple fails to adequately resolve this problem, it could have a negative effect on shipments throughout the lifespan of the iPhone 15 Pro series.

Kuo criticizes Apple’s design and suggests that the iPhone 15 Pro, which may have been purchased for a high price of $1,000 or more, may need to be slowed down. This could potentially lead to decreased sales due to the need to address a problem with the phone that is not caused by TSMC.

You should have ended with “TSMC is not to blame.”

However, Ming-Chi Kuo has proposed that Apple may have constructed the phone incorrectly, to which Apple responded with a denial.

Apple stated that the combination of a titanium frame and aluminum substructure offers superior heat dissipation compared to previous Pro models featuring stainless steel frames.

Well, there you have it! You have been doubly foolish!

Despite Kuo’s suggestion, Apple has stated that they will not decrease the processor’s performance in order to lower its temperature.

According to Apple, their solution to the temperature issue will not involve slowing down the chip’s performance. They guarantee that this fix will not affect the long-term performance.

Additionally, Apple referenced the initial setup procedure that triggers several on-device tasks such as photo syncing, app installation, and discreetly evaluating your music preferences, among others. This can place a strain on the processor, along with potential glitches in updated versions of specific apps.

We need to observe if this issue continues in the upcoming weeks in order to determine if Apple’s claim is valid or if they are trying to divert attention from the problem. However, their explanation appears to be the most plausible explanation, especially since the reported bugs can also cause the iPhone 14 to overheat (credit to Daring Fireball for bringing this to light).

The crucial point to keep in mind is that TSMC is not to blame for this situation.

This cannot be emphasized enough.
