Question of the Day: What is the ultimate French toast topping?
Its not supposed to get that hot in the first place

How is that the phones fault??
The iPhone shuts down when the temperature is in excess of 45C to protect the battery.
You're clearly exceeding it's rated operating parameters. That's nothing more than user error, and fringes on device abuse.

It never does. It's 100% user error. You are either using the phone with high-powered apps such as games whilst charging, or the phone does not have sufficient cooling when charging (especially with wireless charging, as wireless generates more heat than a physical cable under normal conditions).

To be fair I recently wiped my Samsung Galaxy with some military-spec data generator and it got real toasty too. Modern phones are powerful but aren’t designed to be maxed out for long.

I think it may be an iOS 16 issue. My iPhone 13 has also given me this warning - I never had it once on previous iOS, and I'm charging using a fast charger and not using my phone at all.

Haven’t had any heat warnings on my 13 PM, but then again I am mostly using my 12W charger overnight, my 18W charger lives in my work bag unless I need to top up.

Like many has thought, the 13 PM makes more sense than the 14 Plus.

Yeah, they should have done a little more with the 14 Plus, like a 90hz screen., but anyway it is what it is, great phone for those who don’t want the bulk of a Pro Max. For some reason I am a really big fan of the direction they are taking with 14 Plus but I think they need to be a bit more intentional when they create its successor.

Don’t do it. Get a 14 Pro or a 13 Pro
Non pro gives more bang for your buck imo.
The battery drain issue doesn't seem to be getting better with the next iOS version (16.1). Beta 4, which dropped on Monday, is still draining battery. Apple is almost certainly aware of this, hopefully a fix comes soon. I'm inclined to this is a software thing and not an iPhone 14 specific thing.

Rather get a 13 if you're looking to buy the 14. It's 95% the same phone. The Pro's are a better buy this year, not the regular phones.

I would disagree this time, the 14 Pro is worth the extra, the 14 should be called a 13s.

I'm not seeing battery drain on Beta 4, I wonder why it's only affecting some people.
5 hours standby, 1% battery use.
Weren’t you and a couple of other guys in this thread buying the 14 anti-Apple just a few weeks ago? What changed your minds?
Sure, I kind of agree with you on that point, but generally speaking and looking back through the generations, I personally wouldn’t splash the extra for a pro.

This is the first year that the vanilla is noticeably different from the Pro. The 14 is much closer to the 13 than to the 14 Pro.
