For iPhone 8 and iPhone X owners, this summer is the first time they've used their devices in high temperatures. It's clear that many people have been to warm countries even during the winter, but globally, this summer is the first time Europeans have put their devices to the test. Last week, I returned from Spain, where temperatures are well above 22 degrees Celsius even at around 30:30 p.m. That's where my iPhone 8 much more than anywhere else completely unusable and several times a day its brightness was reduced to such a low level minimum, when nothing was really visible in the sun at all. I had a similar problem, but to a lesser extent, in Italy a few weeks ago. When we also talked to editors or friends, we found out that a similar problem affects almost everyone I discussed it with.
One friend wanted to solve everything by complaining about the phone at his dealer, where he learned that there were a large number of people with a similar problem, but Apple does not consider the given behavior of the phone as a bug, but as a normal feature of the device. The problem is that Apple on its website, as well as in the operating conditions of the device, it states that it is intended for operation at temperatures between 0-35 degrees Celsius. However, a phone that you expose to direct sunlight in the summer immediately finds itself at an even higher temperature and has a problem with overheating, which the device itself solves by gradually reducing the brightness, which often ends with you basically not being able to see anything on the display .
As soon as you put your phone in front of the air conditioning vent, for example, in a few tens of seconds you see how the brightness rises again to the value you set and everything works as it should. Unfortunately, this problem affects both iPhone 8 to iPhone 8 Plus, as well iPhone X. I am not saying that it affects every single user and to some extent it depends not only on what kind of device you have, but also on what applications you use and in what environment. However, it is clear that this is an unpleasant problem, which at least for me personally has never manifested itself with previous models. The only solution is to cool the phone as much as possible in the summer, not expose it to high temperatures and not use protective cases. Despite this, situations will arise when the brightness simply decreases without your influence and you cannot do anything about it. There are a few tips that you can follow to restore the brightness as soon as possible, but the question is whether it is of any use to you after applying them. iPhone and not the Nokia 3310, because you have to turn off basically everything iPhone does iPhonem.
To reduce the temperature of your phone as soon as possible, close all applications, turn off GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Then remove the case or protective film from your phone and stop using it in direct sunlight. Restarting the device may also help, but only until you start your commonly used applications and functions again and the phone warms up again. We'll see if that helps. Appwill be able to solve the problem with the new phones that many of us will be using next summer. Personally, I believe that Apple it will remove the error because the phone that I can't use at the moment when it's hot outside is honestly telling me two things.
Hurray, tooneI really know what's going on. I have the same problem with mine. iPhonem X. I called the support line Apple, but there they told me that they had never heard of such behavior of phones. Now I know they weren't telling the truth. Thank you for the article and for clarifying the mystery of the dimming display. :-)
I can confirm that this is indeed happening. It happened to me recently by the sea on the beach and at first I thought I had a (!) phone. A rather unpleasant situation that made me very tender.
Sometimes even my 7 😂
Yes 😬
Yes
Yes, iPhone X does this even when, for example, Waze is running and the phone is on the charger - it lowers the brightness and reduces performance - there's nothing you can do...
yes, buy a phone, i.e. with Android... ;)
hahaha I totally understand the concept of an iovce, but an androidovce, or a person who browses the web during working hours apple fans and advises people to buy android )))) what is it
Yes on X
It also happened to me at the swimming pool, first the brightness decreased and then after a few minutes the icon that it is overheated was displayed. (IphoneX)
So you should have cooled it with water. I do it myself on my X and it's cool, it's waterproof after all!
It does it for 6s sometimes
In Greece iPhone 8plus
This happened to me already with ip7, I thought it was a problem
Council 7
The same iphone 7, I had the phone in the sun for about 5 minutes and I couldn't see anything on the display. I just turned it upside down and put a cold beer on the packaging and it was fine after a while.
Year iphone x
So you see how about us Apple it ages and protects our iPhones well. That's how it should be and everything is fine.
Yes, even though I have the navigation stuck on the windshield
Watch out for those phones in this heat :D
iphone 7 plus common thing
You don't have to choose, you either shut down in the winter or overheat in the summer 😖🙈😁
X- just watch youtube and have a charger and the brightness will immediately decrease. Yes, I'll come across some advice again to buy one iPhoneI haven't had a worse phone, and the Androids I had before didn't exceed the price tag of 10 thousand...
The same sometimes with iPhone 6
I have a 6s plus and I am satisfied
I don't know, I have an Xko and no problem on Nabijecca, movies, games, the temperature is much lower than with the s8, which I slowly couldn't hold in my hand 🙂
I observe the same thing with the 7 Plus... but it's only when the performance is really running at full power (e.g. after playing Asphalt 9 for a while)... after a while of rest, but the brightness is fine
X and iP8+ ... as they heat up, I reduce the consumption, Waze stops charging when navigating, the file discharges. As a result, the wireless charger in the car is unusable, it gets very hot, even when the air conditioner is blowing on it.
So I unpacked the old 7 mic and I'm waiting for a miracle to happen in Zari...
Well, I already wrote somewhere here a long time ago that my Xko is like a heater if I gamble on it. Brightness automatically down and it's after gambling because nothing can be seen..
I'm nervous because I can't see who's shooting at me in PUBG 😂
Nice ass 🙂
Slovakia is enough for me and the temperature is around 30 degrees when I start PubG 😂 and that's it iPhone 7 🙊😢
So with me Iphone 8 is fine and he got a 14-day lens in Croatia at 34, etc....However, I'm already thinking about winter when my flash won't work again...so the brightness doesn't work in the summer and the flash doesn't work in the winter...for TF for that kind of money, it's a slap in the face...
I had it with SE too
In my living room IPhone 8plus is quite enough 😭😩
Iphone X yes almost always..
Not with this, but even tech support doesn't know how to deal with this😢
It's the same with me from the beginning, like the heat.
Iphone X in the holder after 5 minutes as navigation unusable. Not even one iPhone before him, he didn't have a problem in the same place for hours, and then we went to Sicily and drove the whole of Sicily, so it hit him even harder. (I don't remember if it was 6 plus or 6s plus). For the equipment for the money, it is a huge shortcoming. You can fix it with the exhaust holder, but I won't put the holder in one car either, because the exhausts are quite set. But it's better for cycling. It overheats there too.
use a holder for the air conditioning outlet and you're done with the problem :-)
Are you quoting what I wrote?
1. On one of the cars I have, it is not possible, as the exhaust is seated deeper
2. Should I take a mobile air conditioner for my bike?
I also saw it with the Samsung 8 message let the device cool down
iPhone 7 plus almost always😒
Even my X used to do it quite often, just sitting in the garden in the sun is enough. It's worst in the car when I'm driving a short distance without air conditioning... the phone then cuts out in such a way that it feels like I'm back to some very old huawei
iPhone xv in Croatia every day. There's nothing to see on the beach. But what would I want when the phone cost only 30 thousand. 😂
It happens to me on 7 too
On the 3GS when I left it in direct sunlight for a long time...
I don't have a single problem...🙏🏻 iP8 🙏🏻
I agree. iPhone 8 plus and started to fool around in Greece. Then also in the heat here. Unfortunately I also overheat around home button. 👏🏻
U iPhone I have a problem with it that when it's hot, like the sun, the brightness goes down (by itself) and I can't turn it back on😂😒
Iphone SE I was using 13.8 for navigation. The display went blank in places and thenonec wrote to me that he was overheated and needed to cool down... In the car without air conditioning and the thermometer showed 37°
I always throw him in cold water to calm him down
8 Plus… How can it sell down in Africa? 😀 Hot and unable to distinguish light. At home with 30°C outside I think Apple to that.re
I have an Xko and I have no similar problem
Yeah yeah Iphone X did this to me recently too.
iPhone 7 in the backpack zaple YT airPods on my ears and after 5 minutes I can hardly hold the phone in my hand!
️
I confirm for 6s, it will be something in iOS 12
Great, at least I know what it is. It's been bothering me a lot this summer. And I have a new one. Iphone8.😰
:D dude, a bunch of demented people are surprised that their mobile phones are overheating in the sun in the summer :D that's weird and surely the fucking guy is to blame Apple, Huawei didn't do it, Samsung certainly didn't either :D
No, I have a Huawei p10, when I'm steaming on it now in this heat, it's heating, but the brightness doesn't decrease. And that's a mobile for 12 thousand (currently for 8K). Otherwise my Xko is unusable, Apple Nevermore!!!
Well, yes, it's strange when before that the devices didn't have this problem at all (either in the car holder or on the handlebars of bicycles). Now I put X ko in the holder and in 5 minutes it is unusable. So the mistake is there and everyone has to admit that. It is clear that this is due to the wireless charging and the glass on the back, but that is not the way to go. Having a device that is unusable in the summer is not a good device. This is clearly a device design flaw.
6s too
I'm 7 and it does exactly the same thing 🤦🏻♂️
I observe the decrease in brightness quite often even on 7 128gb. Just put it on the charger, do something and I can hardly see it in the room 😬
6, 6s, 7 also did this to me in the summer... on the contrary, it seems to me that X does it the least of the last generations and that's because of the heat this year. The worst for this was probably the 6s Plus
Jo iPhone 7 does it too, just play a more demanding game and the display will lower the brightness once, then a second time and I can barely see anything, but the phone isn't that hot...
on this short journey, I greet kktov z applol and I want to tell you something like this, it's outrageous that a phone for €799 does what your ip67 certification does, I had to dry it completely for a week and that was the phone once near water, not underwater at all, last hit bye
Shout in the dark :-D
This makes me 6, it really is extremely hot this year…. I do not have problem with it. I wait in the shade and after 5 minutes the phone cools down, it lights up again.
Iphone 6, no problem 😄
7 plus, just driving around a bit is enough safari and it immediately starts to overheat and the brightness decreases
I just restarted the 1 a few days ago to let it cool down. In your pocket, just playing music via BT headphones. And you could feel that the phone was unusually warm. Well, but it definitely heated up less than the former Xperia ZXNUMX. Even in winter, it was enough to play a game and it was heating. =D
I have 7 and nothing like that happens to me 🙂 yes every phone is hotter in the sun logically, it didn't even happen to me.🙂
So on the iP X, when I'm in the sun for a while, the brightness decreases completely, so it can't be used with previous iP models, I didn't experience this, nothing I wouldn't try, but it's annoying when you just need to use your mobile phone...
I was recently in Mallorca, it was quite hot, normally I am with Galaxy The s8 shot videos in the sun and hit 1000nits at max yes :D and nothing is fine the same iphone SE s ios 10.3.1 so rather than a phone problem, the problem will be in iOS because 10.3.1 doesn't dim the brightness even when the phone is hot
Is there anything like that? nesthello...no problem so far😊
All iPhones have a problem with it, especially in darker colors
It charges wirelessly on the X with Waze runningjackand it cannot be used even in winter, let alone in summer, when the sun is shining on the phone.
I overheat just when browsing in my hand. This is the headless pursuit of results when scores are uploaded in antutu and then it looks like that.
Dude, when it's 45 in the sun, I overheat too...don't be a dick, phones have their own capacities, just iphone I guess from 35 degrees with then it is not recommended to play on it
When I turn on PUBG :D, it can be used as a radiator :D
iPhone 6 automatic brightness correction turned off, absolutely no problem.
in the winter the battery has a problem, in the summer the battery has a problem, where is the quality?
iPhone 4 had a problem with the signal - a new cooker arrived and everything was fine
iPhone The 4S had a signal problem until the update iOS
iPhone 5 had a problem with the display, buttons
iPhone 5S had battery problems
iPhone 6 was bending
iPhone 6S had battery problems
iPhone 7 had problems with the camera
iPhone 8 had problems with repraks and now with heat
iPhone X has problems with the display not working,
over the years I have encountered so many defects that it is unbelievable, for the money we should get quality, because every iPhone suffers from some defect
Hey Amante, that means only one thing, always wait until the next batch of snacks ;-)
I also confirm the forced brightness reduction on my 6+
But what do we actually pay? However, they are practically perfect devices. However, it can only be used in an air-conditioned room at 20 degrees, and even then, to be sure, don't do everything it can with the device. (perhaps we will find out about it in the next report).
So we have apple maps, but let's not navigate in the summer. Mom Health but let's not play sports in summer and winter. Quite OK.
Let's hope that keynote I will list the iCool case for €199 and then the iHeat case for €199. Although the release date will be after the performance next But the millennium doesn't matter. Apple the wreck sleeps the time. Recently, Android is starting to be a much more efficient device in flagships. And I'm the user iPhone since the 3G version, but I'm thinking hard about X, which was the last one...
And in iPhone 6 I have this problem
Hi, I have – Iphone 7 plus > In Thailand in the sun (temperature in the shade 34) I shot full HD videos at 60fps, for about an hour at a time, and the only thing it said was something like let me cool down the device and the flash will be active again, which didn't matter at all and there was no problem with the brightness or anything else.
Both the SE and 6 turned off in the winter, now the brightness reduction in the heat has been added to it, it's a really great device. On the other hand, the samsung cooks exactly the same, only it does not have a software-adjusted brightness as a protection against heat and a potential battery explosion. It often burns my pocket and I prefer to turn off everything that is running. Apple it's like protection, but he should do something now and move the temperature limits mainly to minus. Turning off auto-brightness can help, but you won't get rid of the temperature.
Yes, mine too iPhone This is how the 6s overheats in the sun
My 6s does it too. From the beginning. I take it as a feature that forces stupid people to hide in the shade in the heat. I'm listening and so far no sunburn or sunburn :)
I notice it to a lesser extent with my old 5s as well.
This is what it does to me too iPhone 6s Plus. Nothing new.
Same with the iPhone XS, it's summer and the brightness is decreasing
