It is possible that Apple will be forced to take the unpopular step of reducing the performance of the latest 3nm A17 Pro chip.
How does something like this not show up in tests?
During tests they were holding it wrong.
Rofl… good one!
It does.
Usually engineering and R&D sees these things, but they are too scared to contradict ambitious timelines set up by management.
Or they report it to their managers, and those managers are too afraid to report it up the chain to contradict an ambitious timeline.
Or they do report it up the chain but upper management doesn’t care and gamble that users won’t notice or encounter the issue.
Or marketing. I’ve heard innuendo that at Apple, marketing has vetoes
lol hardly
Imagine engineering teams accounting for actual user behavior. No, this is on testing and the product development teams.
Oh they knew. Apple is just pure scum.
I can assure you it did, they just hoped no one would notice
It does. But what is hot to me is different than what is hot to my wife. My 11 pro gets really hot if you fast charge it.
They just figured oh well it works well in Cupertino. They omitted the fact that Cupertino doesn’t get super hot, ever.
People have used it in very hot areas and it has been fine, with no overheating issues.
People have used it in very temperate areas and it has turned into a small furnace.
The controlling variable is almost certainly not ambient temperature.
Sheeple.
