Apple's iPhone 15 Pro models launched with Apple's new A17 Pro chip that packs enormous computational and graphical performance. It was recently reported that the new chip is causing the device to overheat, even so much in some cases that it is unbearable to hold. However, a prominent analyst is now stating that the overheating issues on the iPhone 15 Pro models are not due to the A17 Pro chip but the internal design and the new titanium finish.
According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro models are not overheating due to TSMC's 3nm A17 Pro chip. While the chip is performing as it should, the problem rests in the internal design. Kuo states that Apple made comprises in the thermal system this year to keep the weight of the device at bay. The company could have used fewer heat dissipation methods or materials so the weight of the device would not increase.
Apart from the thermal system, the use of titanium metal this year is another reason why the iPhone 15 Pro models are overheating, as it negatively contributes to thermal efficiency. Titanium was pretty well received in terms of the durability of the device, as it can withstand falls from as high as 15 feet. Additionally, it gave room to a matte finish that attracts fewer fingerprints. However, titanium also features its fair share of issues, allowing the flagship iPhone 15 Pro models to be easily scratched and scuffed. Now, there is another reason why the use of titanium is not the best decision for the company.
Kuo anticipates that Apple will address the iPhone 15 Pro's overheating issue via software updates, but it will only contribute a little. Henceforth, the company would have to cap the performance of the device so it does not overheat. While it would nullify the purpose of having a faster 3nm chip in the device, it could save the device from a "negative impact on shipments". The iPhone 15 Pro just launched and has a long way to go. Additionally, it is unlikely that Apple will recall the devices for an immediate hardware fix.
Apple's A17 Pro chip is plenty powerful to handle anything that will throw at it. It can even handle high-end gaming titles on a bigger screen by hooking the iPhone 15 Pro models to an external monitor. We will share more details on the iPhone 15 Pro's overheating issue, so be sure to stick around for more details.

Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a revamped 24-inch iMac, and the latest buzz suggests it might finally make its debut. It will likely be powered by Apple's in-house M2 and M2 Pro chips. Recent reports from Japanese Apple blog MacOtakara have shed light on Apple's plans for this anticipated iMac release. While it's no secret that Apple has been on a roll with its M-series chips, the 24-inch iMac is expected to bring some much-needed upgrades to the table. These enhancements are rumoured to include Thunderbolt 4 ports, the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology, and support for Wi-Fi 6E. Moreover, Apple enthusiasts can look forward to having the option of choosing between M2 and M2 Pro configurations, 9to5Mac reported.
The limited space of a smartphone can often be daunting for companies as they have to work out new techniques to cram in as much technology and features as possible. One method Apple is reportedly employing in an attempt to free up space is the adoption of RCC or resin copper coated foils for iPhone PCBs. Unfortunately, one analyst claims that we are not expected to witness this change until the iPhone 17, and there are several reasons that prevent the company from transitioning to this material almost immediately.
AMD's AI segment will witness a tremendous "upturn" in the coming years since the prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo disclosed a "rapid growth" in the company's future revenue.
Apple's iPhone and Apple Watch are two of its products with an annual upgrade cycle. The company recently announced the iPhone 15 lineup alongside the Apple Watch Series 9 with a plethora of notable changes on the inside. Now, it is being reported that next year's Apple Watch models will bring little to no changes while marking the tenth anniversary of the wearable, potentially no iPhone X moment.
Apple announced the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max with a wide range of novelties and changes. The new models feature the same powerful chip, different from the standard models, to keep a performance gap. However, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max features a 5x tetraprism lens, while the standard model features an optical zoom lens from last year that features only 3x capabilities. A prominent industry analyst suggests that Apple is looking to offer the new tetraprims lens on the iPhone 16 Pro as well as the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
It has not even been one full month since the launch of the iPhone 15 series, and we are already receiving leaks around the next year's iPhone 16 series. A major leak has surfaced that claims that both the iPhone 16 Pro models may get the tetraprism lens that added the 5x zoom capability to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This leak, if it comes true, will bring great delight to Apple users, as the iPhone 15 Pro missed out on this lens and those who prefer the smaller handset missed out on this new feature. This rumored development also points out that the earlier reported supply chain shortage for the lens might finally be over and Apple is now confident that the suppliers can meet the demand for two different smartphone models.

Check out the rumoured price, specs, launch date, features, and more of the Apple iPhone 16.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max use Grade 5 titanium instead of stainless steel, making both flagships lighter and better at dispersing heat than the previous material, according to Apple. The company has recognized the overheating problems that continue to plague the two models but states that the software and not the new design is the reason for this string of issues.
