by times news cr

Users of Apple smartphones have complained about increased heating of their devices. The publication Android Headlines drew attention to this, Day.Az reports with reference to Lenta.ru.

Journalists noticed a post on Reddit that a site visitor under the nickname dsdxp published last week. In it, the author said that after updating to iOS 18.2, with which artificial intelligence (AI) functions appeared on the iPhone, his device began to get very hot. Within a few days, the post received 1.5 thousand likes.

The author said that when he opens the Image Playground application, designed for working with images, his phone turns into a “portable hand warmer.” “I think this is great during the cold, harsh winters we have here in Michigan,” the user joked. He said that he encountered a problem on his iPhone 16 Pro.

“This is also true for the iPhone 15 Pro, which received a bonus – you can burn your fingerprints,” noted the author under the nickname PrestigiousPickle8. “I managed to light a cigarette with my iPhone,” said user El_Bart-0 with irony.

Android Headlines noticed that the AI ​​is performing certain calculations using the iPhone’s processor and RAM, causing the device to overheat. At the same time, a user under the nickname aftonone rejoiced at the overheating: “This means that the phone performs calculations on the device, rather than sending data to a remote server.”
