I'm interested to see how many/few complaints we see about the iPhone Air overheating, since it has almost the exact same chip as the 17 Pro but a simpler cooling system
"My phone is really hot, is this normal or is it broken?!" is something I started getting asked by random iPhone-using friends over the last few years as they upgraded to a new model and then felt it sizzling.
- thewebguyd 1y agoGot my air yesterday and it definitely gets hot. Will see how it does after a few days as I expected the heat due to the initial sync and transfer, and iOS indexes everything for a day or two. But even then it was no hotter than my 16 Pro

Will see how it does after a few days as I expected the heat due to the initial sync and transfer, and iOS indexes everything for a day or two. I have one, too, and you're right that the heating is just what happens while it restores its data and settings and whatnot. I believe it also re-scans your entire photo library to re-identify dogs, cars, people, etc. with whatever improved algorithm comes with the new chip/OS. This happens every time you get a new iPhone. Depending on how much it has to sort through, it can take a couple of hours to a week. I always leave the case off for the first few days.
