      They just figured oh well it works well in Cupertino. They omitted the fact that Cupertino doesn’t get super hot, ever.

          I mean if they didn’t test it in Cali I wouldn’t know where at all…

          My 15 pro max is cold all the time, I haven’t played any 3d games yet though. It was cold during restore process and it’s cold when charging

      I could see a case made for the test units having much better heat transfer and once mass produced the silicon lottery inevitably made some chips run hotter. But those variances are not massive, so it would’ve already had to run pretty hot. IDK

      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.
