There's a lot of iconic problems Apple has had with product launches in the past (attenna-gate and butterfly keyboards are some of the most obvious recent ones), but I cannot for the life of me understand how something like this slips through in 2023. They must have a thermodynamics team that helped engineer the chassis, and the SoC team must know the thermal output of their chip. Did they just not test the device?
Yeah, you would also think they must have had someone with two thumbs who would be able to bend it slightly...

This isn't even the first time an iPhone has had this exact issue.
Functional video hosting service link: https://youtu.be/IS0SItAzEXg?feature=shared
Is piped not functional? Personally don't use it but thought that's what people use on here
It's what one bot keeps spamming, and it doesn't really work. The videos never play for me.
I’ve only ever gotten one video to play on it. It’s fine, I googled the title and was able to find the video. The guy doing that tear down is awesome btw! I can’t deny I winced a few times while watching it.
Got it, gonna post YT links from now on, that piped bot seems to handle them anyway.
And yes, Zach is awesome! Highly recommend checking out his channel before you buy new phones. Or just from time to time for the entertainment factor.
Next time just replace piped.video (or other) with youtube.com.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Well where do you think your 2000 dollar goes? The product? Ha. Apple is and was a scam for a decade.
Does piped not work on mobile browsers? I've never been able to play a single video on Firefox on Android.
It works fine on iOS, are you using Googles DNS? Maybe they're blocking it...
I use cloudflare for DNS. Site opens just fine, but videos never play.
It was probably just cheaper / greater profit margin
I just don't understand. The phone was thoroughly tested for a range of extreme real world use cases in our state of the art lab in the Arctic.
