When summer arrives it’s time for the pool, the beach and even to go hiking in the mountains, but the temperatures can also reach unbearable numbers. You also make us sweat a lot can be dangerous for our iPhone They tend to overheat and can cause very serious breakdowns.
And it is that the components of an electronic device are prepared to operate in a very specific temperature range. Exceeding above or below these limits can result in battery shutdown or even chip destruction. And the iPhone is not a team that can withstand this, forcing Apple to establish itself an operating limit between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius.
Also, iPhones are devices that tend to overheat very quickly especially when left in direct sunlight and more. if we use them in the meantime.
A rudimentary but effective method: the freezer
Every year when the hot weather arrives, we always look for a way to quickly lower the temperature of the iPhone to precisely prevent it from breaking down. And on Twitter a user explained the method we can all have in mind to quickly cool something: use the freezer.
In this tweet explains that after detecting that his iPhone was getting too hot for the past few days, decided to put it in the freezer for several minutes (because it is not recommended to leave it for a long time under zero degrees). The result that was found, of course, was that the device dropped in temperature and even started charging much better.
This makes sense, since iPhones perform better at “normal” room temperature than at 35 degrees. Basically because its components can work optimally, especially the battery, no risk of overheating
But the thread ended up going pretty viral, and with a lot of divisive comments between if it is good or not to put it in the freezer. If we stick to Apple’s recommendations, it is not advisable to do this precisely because an iPhone cannot be below 0 ° C, as this will also affect the components.
The most reliable tips to avoid overheating
But beyond having this “brilliant” idea that crossed our minds, there is different tips with which we avoided reaching these overheating limits. The best are:
- Do not charge the device in very hot environments when downloading an application or installing an update, as this will promote the exothermic process.
- Avoid using the device when you are on the beach or in an environment where the sun gives it directly.
- Preferably use the iPhone in the shade, away from the sun, and do not leave it exposed for too long. It is advisable to keep it in your pocket or in a bag.
- Resorting to turning off the iPhone when we see the temperature going off if we are not using it.
- Remove iPhone case in case it does not conduct heat well. There are a few exceptions where the case design allows heat to dissipate out the back and not concentrate on the iPhone.
- In general, avoid the use of high-performance applications such as 3D games, augmented reality applications or even video editing.
With these tips, you can avoid having to feel the iPhone very hotor in case this happens and you notice it slowing down, you will be able to lower its temperature by reducing the demands you place on the device.
