"iPhone 15 Pro Series Plagued by Thermal Throttling and Overheating Problems"

The iPhone 15 Pro is experiencing thermal throttling issues due to Apple's lower standards for the A17 Pro chip, which was manufactured using the 3nm process. TSMC's struggles with the process led to a low yield, prompting Apple to accept chips that would have otherwise been rejected. The increased power consumption to achieve benchmark results may result in lower battery life, and the phone's lack of a cooling solution exacerbates the heating issue. Thermal throttling kicks in earlier, causing performance drops, but the GPU upgrades make it a promising gaming phone.
