    Released before it's ready?

    I wonder about this strategy of Apple and others in which there's a yearly release of a new product/software. One has to wonder if sometimes, things aren't ready for primetime.

    I imagine this'll be addressed with a software update.

    Sounds like a hardware issue. Most likely a battery. I doubt you fix that with a software update.

      1. "Yearly release" -- gotta catch that "yearly" shopping season (Thanksgiving-Christmas in the USA, the 11.11 双十一 in China.)

      2. Addressing "overheating" through software update -- quite likely. E.g., if the issue is CPU, change software to run slower; if the issue is battery charging, change software to charge slower. May only be a partial fix, but will likely be enough to reduce safety risk and change consumer's perception.

          Okay. So now your fancy new phone charges slower than your clunky old phone?

          No, I’m sure the answer involves these horrible USB-C connectors… Lightning FTW!

            Maybe, but it would be iPhone-specific. Lots of other devices charge vie USB-C without overheating, including iPad Pro and iPad mini models.

            (And yes, I do think mechanically the Lighting connector is superior, and wish Apple Inc. had licensed it for virtually free from the get go, then maybe USB-C might have adopted Lightning connector's physical form factor.)

              Here’s what Apple said: “We have identified a few conditions which can cause iPhone to run warmer than expected. The device may feel warmer during the first few days after setting up or restoring the device because of increased background activity.”

              This is to be expected. When you set up a new iPhone and it’s redownloading all the apps, photos and music, for instance, that you accrued on your previous phone, it means your new device is working overtime, and sometimes over-temperature, to get it all done as quickly as possible. But, intriguingly, there’s more.

              Apple went on, “We have also found a bug in iOS 17 that is impacting some users and will be addressed in a software update. Another issue involves some recent updates to third-party apps that are causing them to overload the system. We’re working with these app developers on fixes that are in the process of rolling out.”

                I was finally able to find a 15 pro yesterday.

                It was warmer than I was expecting after sitting on the MagSafe charger in the store while I did the transfer.

                Charging it here I haven’t noticed a difference, nor plugged into the car. If my experience is representative, it’s either a MagSafe thing or an initial download thing.

                And they did release it too early, they were having problems manufacturing the pro versions even this summer, which is why the pro and pro max have shortages. Some analysts were expecting them to hold off until q4. Instead they released in September but won’t have stable supply until q4

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                  @jon-nyc I just got mine. It seems to be very much an initial download thing. There are three stages:

                  1. Transfer from old phone
                  2. Downloading the shit after the transfer is complete
                  3. ???

                  I let mine sit overnight to do whatever it needed to do and it's fine now. Took a 4-hour drive with the thing plugged into CarPlay and the sun shining on it and it's still cooler than the 13 I had.

                  Please love yourself.

                    Other than the camera, is there really a noticeable difference between the 13 and the 15?

                    I have a 13 right now, and I’m pretty happy with it. Is there a compelling reason that I should upgrade?

                      For you I would highly doubt it. The OS is obviously the same, so I'd say almost certainly there's no reason to upgrade. Some superficial differences:

                      1. "Dynamic Island" which, whatever.
                      2. USB-C instead of lightning
                      3. Action button

                      The camera shit that only nerds care about is really the draw.

                      Please love yourself.

                          Tempting for that reason alone, of course. I've read how people bemoan the slower transfer of files via USB-C, but that's not a consideration for me. When I make the switch, the only lightning devices we'll have are Mrs. George's iPhone SE 2 (she wants a "home" button).
