46.6˚C in normal units.
And if anyone’s wondering that’s 116°F in more normaler units
Edit: it’s a multi layered joke guys chill. Joke is Americans can’t read, the °F is in the title. The other joke is that American grammar is shit
Nearly 320K in the normalest units.
It's exactly 1 in a new unit I just invented, it's called 46.6˚C. So it's 1 46.6˚C. And currently it's nice 0.3 46.6˚C here.
You talking about 0.028 eV?
That's 576R in a unit the Jedi wouldn't tell you.
German actually.
I loled. Fuck the haters
F makes more sense for this. It’s 0-100 on a scale of a human feeling too cold to too hot.
In situations where what’s being discussed is touching human skin: weather, a hot phone, water temp, etc… F does give you a quicker idea of things.
That said, downvote me away!
No need to downvote, I can handle someone having a different opinion.
Fahrenheit doesn't give a shit about human temperature, he based it on some obscure things (which I can't remember right now). It doesn't even fit with human temperature, I think human temperature is like 97 or 98 °F or something like that. The argument was made only to have some argument, it's not a property of Fahrenheit.
It does make exactly as much sense as Celsius with one important distinction - Celsius plays nicely with other SI units.
Seriously, the only correct answer to how many foot-pounds does it take to heat 1 fl oz of water by 1° F
is fuck you
.
46c… lmfao what a stupid headline.
That is absolutely NOT “hot”or “overheating” for a piece of tech under stress.
The phone housing is the heat sync, and the phone is more powerful than many people’s few year old laptops.
Not to defend apple but this is just trying to sensationalise and farm clicks, my pixel 7 used to get way hotter doing just normal tasks to the point I was getting overheat warnings and the screen would shut off.
Now if it was more like 55c I could see that being an issue at least from a comfort standpoint.
On top of this, pointing a thermal camera as an emissive surface like glass… not the most accurate way to actually get a temperature reading, they should have used a thermal couple… but I’m guessing that would have showed an even less exciting click bait number.
It is not comfortable to hold a 46C metal object in your hand.
It’s not “overheating” either though is it?
46c is not that hot at all, that’s like half as hot as a cup of coffee.
It’s probably not ideal.. but also not at all new and about the same as my S22 ultra hits under load or when charging which runs far cooler than my previous pixel 7 which would actively overheat if you tried to run maps while charging it on a warm day, to the point it would force the screen to min brightness after about 30min.
Yeah, I've had overheating issues while running maps and charging on older iPhones too. Not with Apple Maps but with third party mapping software that pushed the CPU/GPU a little too hard. Doesn't tend to happen on modern hardware with mature mapping software.
Also, iPhones do a lot of computation on your photo library while charging. They do things locally on device that Google would do in the cloud. Combine that (for years of photos and not just the ones you took in the last day or so) with normal heat from charging the battery and 46°C seems pretty reasonable to me.
It depends on how you're holding it and how spread that heat is. 46° isn't something great to be grasping for extended periods of time, but if you're physically touching 30°C parts of the phone and a part with no physical contact with your skin is 46°C, it's probably not that bad.
My s7 edge used to hit these temps. The annoying part was the throttling and shutdowns. I never really felt like I was burning my hands using the thing.
Excuse me, but this has "you're holding it wrong" energy. And according to this page, 44°C is starting to feel painful to touch, and 47° is enough to cause 1st degree burn.
I get where you’re coming from, but just because it isn’t hot when compared to a full throttle desktop CPU doesn’t mean it’s good for a device you hold with your bare hands.
Can you name one other thing in everyday life that you hold for hours on end, that gets 45+°C?
It's the hottest Apple iPhone yet!!
Some context:
http://www.antiscald.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=15
At 116F you would require firm, continuous contact for more than 20 minutes to produce a 2nd degree burn, and over 45 minutes to produce a 3rd degree burn.
So one semi long YouTube video is all it would take to get a burn? And you’d not even need a full length movie to need a trip to the hospital?
I get that these aren’t “instant” burns, but this is still a device people regularly hold for hours a day. And if you don’t realize it’s heating up, you’re likely to notice only when you’re in pain.
Oh no 116f, like seriously guys this will melt the Popsicle in my pocket
That's the treshold for you to get a 1st degree burn. No, it's not instantaneous at that temperature, but it certainly denotes that it shouldn't get there at all.
Apple apologists amaze me. This isn't a fucking cpu inside a shell, it's the outside of a handheld device.
Thats nothing.? Sneakily using fahrrneit to make it sound like a big deal. I hate Apple as much as the next guy but this is exploitative journalism
What? 116 degrees is pretty dang hot.
Edit: It's literally at the threshold of a first degree burn.
Apple themselves say that a phone at consistently higher than 35C will suffer from battery capacity damage
This reminds me of the Samsung Phone incident... not as bad as that but it's just something that popped up in my mind.
Are Apple fanboys not happy with their magic boxes called "smartphones" that just works? xD
