Yikes! iPhone 15 Buyers Are Complaining About Their Phones!

Source: Bloomberg

The much-anticipated release of Apple’s iPhone 15 on September 22, 2023, brought a surge of excitement among tech enthusiasts. With its sleek design, powerful features, and promises of superior performance, the iPhone 15 appeared to be the smartphone to beat this year.

However, amid all the fanfare, an alarming issue has emerged – users are reporting that the device gets unbearably hot within just minutes of use.

Titanium Frames and Unintended Consequences

Unlike its predecessors, which boasted stainless steel frames, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max feature frames crafted from titanium. This shift in materials was likely aimed at enhancing durability and aesthetics, but it seems to have introduced a new problem – overheating. Users have expressed concerns that the iPhone 15 heats up rapidly, raising questions about its performance and long-term reliability.

The Spark

The debate over the iPhone 15’s heat problem gained momentum thanks to a number of tweets by iphone reviewers who shared thier firsthand experience, describing how the iPhone 15 Pro became “extremely hot,” making it challenging to hold comfortably, even after brief activities like a 2-minute FaceTime call or 8-10 minutes of scrolling through social media. Accompanying the tweet, was a video displaying a temperature reading of a scorching 42 degrees Celsius (107.6 degrees Fahrenheit), indicating significant heat generation.

Their tweets quickly resonated with other iPhone 15 users who confirmed similar experiences. Some reported encountering the heat issue during routine tasks, such as listening to podcasts, and even noted increased battery drain. This outpouring of shared experiences served as a testament to the problem’s prevalence.

Isolated Incidents or Widespread Concerns?

However, not all iPhone 15 users have faced this issue, leading to a division among owners. Some suggest that it might be a problem with specific devices, advising those affected to seek replacements or support from Apple.

Nevertheless, the growing number of complaints suggests that this might not be an isolated incident and warrants closer examination.

Durability Matters

The heat problem isn’t the only concern among iPhone 15 users. A video demonstrating the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s back glass shattering after being bent with bare hands has raised additional questions about the device’s durability. Created by Zack Nelson, known for durability tests on smartphones, this video has garnered millions of views on YouTube. It highlights a potential vulnerability that was previously uncommon in iPhones.

Awaiting Apple’s Response

As Apple enthusiasts and potential buyers await official responses and potential solutions from the tech giant, the issues surrounding the iPhone 15’s heat and durability underscore the importance of thorough testing and quality control in the manufacturing process. Consumers investing in premium devices expect top-tier performance, reliability, and durability. Whether these issues turn out to be isolated incidents or widespread concerns, they serve as a reminder that even the most highly anticipated products can encounter unexpected challenges in the hands of users.

What’s Stopping People From Seeing Psychologists In Pakistan?

Mental health stigma remains a significant issue in Pakistan. Many people in Pakistan, as in other countries, often associate mental health conditions with shame or weakness. This stigma can deter individuals from seeking help and support, leading to untreated mental health issues. Efforts have been made to raise awareness and reduce stigma through education and advocacy, but it’s still a prevalent issue that needs ongoing attention and change in societal attitudes.

Moreover, the lack of empathy by doctors also add to the dilemma. An individual who often tries to seek support is either met with unsupportive families or ends up in the hands of doctors who know nothing better. If cultural norms, stigmatization, and lack of awareness weren’t enough, add poor counseling and lack of sensitivity shown by the doctors are something that majorly refrains people from going to counseling.

A Pakistani’s Experience 

A psychologist who is meant to be a safe space often ends up traumatizing the patient even more. Such an incident was shared by a Twitter user on her social media where a lack of support by her doctor led her to stop seeking therapy.

Here’s what she had to say about her experience.

The response to her tweet was met with significant support and many users shared their own experiences.

However, some users also reflected the mental capacity of such doctors by spewing hate on social media. Disregarding the struggle and the need to seek support, some of these tweets downright show what’s wrong with our society.

iPhone 16 Rumors Are Out And Get Ready To Be Surprised Or Maybe Not?

Source: Mashable

Apple’s 2024 iPhone, the iPhone 16, promises groundbreaking features that could redefine the smartphone industry.

Every year, Apple enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the latest iPhone release, and 2023 is no different with the iPhone 15. However, for those who always have an eye on the horizon, the iPhone 16 rumors are already causing a stir. While the iPhone 15 offers impressive upgrades, including the Dynamic Island and a revamped camera system, the iPhone 16 is expected to take innovation to the next level.

Buttonless Design

One of the most intriguing iPhone 16 rumors is the removal of physical buttons. Apple has a history of eliminating seemingly essential features, such as the 3.5mm headphone jack and the charger from the box. In 2024, the plan is to get rid of all physical buttons. While this may seem unconventional, it’s in line with Apple’s commitment to sleek, minimalist design.

To replace physical buttons, Apple is rumored to employ Solid State Buttons, similar to what’s used on the current-gen iPhone SE. These buttons use haptic feedback to emulate physical presses. This design offers advantages like enhanced water resistance and increased internal space for a larger battery. However, it raises questions about how the iPhone will be powered on if there are no physical buttons.

Invisible Face ID

The Face ID system, introduced in 2017, has been a prominent feature on iPhones. However, rumors suggest that Apple might place the TrueDepth camera system under the display for the iPhone 16 Pro, achieving a true fullscreen display. This technology, already seen in some Android phones, eliminates the need for a notch or Dynamic Island, streamlining the iPhone’s design.

While hiding sensors under the display presents challenges related to image quality, Apple is likely to refine the technology to ensure an unobstructed display.

120Hz Displays for All

Apple has been criticized for sticking with a 60Hz display while competitors adopted faster 120Hz displays. iPhone 16 rumors suggest that Apple might finally offer a 120Hz refresh rate display as a standard feature for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This move would align with the Pro models that have featured this technology since 2021.

Although some sources predict a 2025 timeline for this upgrade, industry watchers note that Apple may accelerate its adoption of 120Hz displays in response to market demand.

A Faster Chipset: Next-Gen Performance

Apple has consistently reserved its latest chips for the Pro models. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to feature the A17 Pro chip, while the iPhone 16 Pro series will boast the A18 chip, all manufactured on TSMC’s new N3E process. This process promises improved performance but might impact power efficiency, though it is expected to be more cost-effective.

Additionally, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus may see a RAM boost to 8GB, enhancing multitasking capabilities compared to the 6GB offered by the iPhone 15 series.

As the iPhone 16 rumors continue to circulate, they paint a picture of a device that could set new standards in the smartphone industry. While these features are speculative for now, Apple’s history of innovation suggests that the iPhone 16 could indeed deliver on these exciting promises, giving competitors a run for their money in the years to come.

Did You Spot This Mistake In Apple’s Latest iPhone 15 Ad?

Apple, as a corporation, is renowned for its commitment to perfection, and this perception isn’t just my own but is widely shared by devoted consumers and even the company itself. It’s precisely why Apple often takes its time to introduce new features, ensuring that it sets a high standard.

With this reputation for excellence, one might naturally expect stringent quality control. While Apple has historically maintained impeccable standards, the recent introduction video for the iPhone 15 does display noticeable editing errors, which, given the company’s production quality and control, should ideally not have been overlooked.

Have a look at this!

What’s Wrong With The Ad?

The iPhone 15 introduction video, in line with Apple’s usual standards, appears impressive. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that there are noticeable editing errors that could have been rectified quite easily. These mistakes are so conspicuous that one doesn’t need to have particularly sharp eyes to spot them.

The video shows a noticeable misalignment of the camera sensor on the iPhone 15. From a videography perspective, this could be due to an incorrect focal length setting. Meanwhile, there also are clear inconsistencies in the bezels; the right bezel looks notably different from the left, and there are also discrepancies in the top bezel. The overall picture reveals even more intriguing details.

Another shot of the iPhone 15 shows a top that’s wider and narrows toward the bottom. This kind of distortion typically occurs when using an inappropriate focal length. It’s indeed surprising that such an oversight was missed. Additionally, upon closer examination, even the front-facing camera seems slightly misaligned.

“I genuinely wondered if he was some player”, Says Ushna Shah

Pakistani actress, Ushna Shah, has been spilling details of her marriage and her idea of a strong relationship. In one of those interviews, she also got candid about her first impression of Hamza Amin before he married her.

“Hamza and I initially connected over the phone as he was in Karachi and I was in Lahore at that time. But before that happened, I had been hearing that some hot gora (foreigner) is in town and he’s meeting all the girls,” she revealed in Momin Saqib’s talk show, Had Kar Di.

“After a couple of days of speaking, we were going to meet and I showed his picture to a friend to ask if this is someone she should meet. That’s when I found out that he’s the foreigner I had been hearing out,” the Akhir Kab Tak actor added.

“I genuinely wondered if he was some player.”

The actress also shared Hamza’s version where he told his mother about his intention to marry Ushna the day he first met her.

My version wasn’t as romantic as I simply thought to myself, “he’s so hot and tall.”

Indian director, Anurag Kashyap, has already made headlines plenty of times for introducing the couple to each other. The Gang of Wasseypur director linked the two via phone.

She also spoke of what makes a strong relationship, “no phone codes” being one of them.

The Habs actor confessed that she knew her husband, Hamza, was the one when he put in her face ID on his phone without her even asking him to do that. Ushna added that he did not ask her to do the same for him, but she did, anyway.

Ushna Shahs tied the knot with golfer, Hamza Amin, on 27 February, 2023, among close friends and stars from the entertainment industry.

PIA Passenger Shares Horrifying Pictures – Prepare To Be Shocked

In previous years, the travel experience with PIA has become dreadful for the public to say the least. The downfall of PIA is something the entire nation is familiar with. While once they were ‘great people to fly with’ but not anymore. Every once in a while we come across someone’s experience with PIA which is far from pleasant and a similar instance has been shared by a traveller on their social media platform which is saddening and disappointing.

What Happened To PIA? 

While government and the attitude of authorities towards our industries is one thing. It’s what people choose to do with them matters more. While Pakistanis are an extremely unpredictable nation, such instances where inflicting damage to our own good is something that we are all familiar with.

However, such instances are now not just limited to wall chalkings and public transport markings but they have made their way to airplanes now. We, as a nation, have no sense of responsibility towards our own. A Twitter user, on his recent flight, shared such an experience with PIA which showcases our attributes as a nation.

The passenger who was boarded on a PIA flight shares images from inside the plane. The views are saddening and disappointing. The images shared showed plane seats being chalked with numbers and names with permanent markers.

Meanwhile, another picture showed a broken seat which looked like something out of the post-apocalyptic world and it’s no wonder why PIA has become the least favourite airline of Pakistanis. Having a bad travel experience once in a lifetime is something but to encounter such instances time and again is something no one likes to experience especially while travelling.

While Twitter users shared their thoughts on the instance, it seems like the attempts to privatize the airline are something that has to be done in due time.

Why Are iPhone 15 Pro Units Turning Out To Be Defected?

Apple’s latest iPhone 15 Pro series was met with a mix of excitement and criticism shortly after its global release on Friday. While enthusiasts eagerly lined up at stores around the world, social media platforms quickly became a battleground for tech enthusiasts and critics who flagged several design and technical issues with the new devices.

Durability Issues Raise Eyebrows

One of the most significant concerns raised was regarding the durability of the iPhone 15 Pro. In a drop test comparison with its predecessor, the iPhone 14 Pro, the new model was reported to have performed worse. Critics attributed this to the phone’s curved edges, which they claimed appeared to be more fragile than the straight-edge design of the previous model.

Color Inconsistencies Spark Quality Control Concerns

Social media posts also highlighted issues with color consistency. Users complained about uneven coloring on some units of the iPhone 15 Pro, suggesting that the color was not evenly applied, and the screen didn’t align perfectly with the edges. These inconsistencies led to accusations that the new device was suffering from quality control issues.

In addition to these complaints, a video clip circulating on social media appeared to show a software glitch, causing lines to ripple through the screen for a few seconds. While it’s not unusual for software bugs to emerge shortly after a new product’s release, it added to the growing list of grievances.

Addressing the “Fingerprint Magnet” Accusations

Some users referred to the iPhone 15 Pro as a “fingerprint magnet” due to the exterior band’s susceptibility to collecting oil from users’ skin. Apple responded to this concern by suggesting that wiping the phone with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth would restore its original appearance.

Despite these initial hiccups, demand for Apple’s latest offerings remained robust, with long lines forming outside stores across the globe. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models are expected to be Apple’s top-selling products for the remainder of the year, and their success will significantly impact the company’s holiday season performance.

The Road Ahead for Apple

Apple’s ability to address and rectify the reported issues swiftly will be critical in maintaining the enthusiasm of its customer base and ensuring long-term satisfaction. The company’s reputation for quality and innovation is at stake, and it remains to be seen how these challenges will affect the overall perception of the iPhone 15 Pro in the coming weeks.

As with any major product launch, initial hiccups are not uncommon. Apple’s track record for resolving such issues and delivering software updates suggests that many of the reported problems may be short-lived. Ultimately, it will be the overall user experience and performance of the iPhone 15 Pro that determine its success in the highly competitive smartphone market.

This absence is particularly surprising given Umair Jaswal’s reputation for delivering electrifying performances on stage.

Azaan Sami Khan Accepts that Being a Star Kid Opened Doors for Him

Azaan Sami Khan

While we’d like to believe content is the true king in the entertainment industry, it won’t be a lie to say nepotism plays a huge role too.

Being a star kid, your first project might not be a blockbuster and you might not be able to stay long, yet it does guarantee an easy and comfortable entry.

Azaan Sami Khan, son of the evergreen star, Zeba Bakhtiar and musician Adnan Sami Khan is currently riding on the waves of success.

While it’s rare for stars kids to speak this candidly about their privilege, Azaan admits that being a star kid opened doors for him.

Azaan Sami Khan to Make Film Debut Opposite Hania Aamir in ‘Patakh De’

“I’d be lying if I said that there wasn’t familiarity [with the film industry before starting off in this career]. I’d also be lying if I said that I wasn’t in my comfort zone,” he said in an interview with Dawn Icon.

He went on to explain that people in the industry have seen him grow.

“They’ve seen me around them, going through phases. They’ve seen me in my weird teenage phase, my long-haired phase, my overweight phase, my ‘I wanna be an actor and I’m gonna lose my weight’ phase. Then my ‘I lost my weight’ phase. Okay, now-he’s-gonna-be-an-actor phase. Now-he’s-gonna-be-a-musician phase. All this happened very publicly, in front of the industry. I wasn’t the actor’s or musician’s son who studied abroad and suddenly came back to be an actor. I’ve been here all along,” he revealed.

Azaan also confessed that it’s only great till his work is being liked. “People may reach out to me, or listen to what I have to say right now. But if I give them one bad tune, or one bad performance, it would all be over,” he says admitting that one bad song or performance can lead to his failure too.

From O21 to Parwaaz Hai Junoon, Superstar, Paray Hut Love, and now his upcoming film Patakh De where we will see him as an actor, Azaan sure has come a long way in the Pakistan Entertainment Industry.

However, Azaan also revealed that he wants to do dramas.

“I want to do television. In fact, I may do a drama sooner than expected,” he said.

What are your thoughts about the star kid’s work so far? Comment and let us know.

Hasan Ali’s World Cup Selection: Prediction Or Inside Information?

Hasan Ali’s World Cup Selection: Prediction Or Inside Information?

Pakistan’s cricket team Chief Selector, Inzamam-ul-Haq, announced the squad for the ICC World Cup 2023 today, leaving cricket fans across the country both anxious and disappointed. They had been eagerly awaiting changes from the selection committee, but to their surprise, there was only one alteration made to the team that faced an untimely exit in the Asia Cup 2023 – the inclusion of Hasan Ali, who stepped in for the injured pace bowler Naseem Shah.

Hasan Ali’s return to the squad raised eyebrows about the selection criteria. His last ODI match was against West Indies in June 2022, where he managed to secure only two wickets. In the ten matches prior to that, he had taken a total of nine wickets.

However, controversy began to brew and fans started to question the transparency of the selection process after a video from pace bowler Shaheen Afridi’s wedding reception went viral. In the clip, Hasan was caught on camera telling Iftikhar Ahmed, “mera bhi World Cup me naam araha hai” (I’m also being named in the World Cup). This unexpected statement ignited a firestorm of speculation among cricket enthusiasts on social media.

Here’s the video

The burning question on everyone’s mind is: How did Hasan Ali know about his selection before it was officially announced? Was it a prediction or a case of inside information?

On the flip side, it’s plausible that Hasan’s statement was merely an expression of his fervent desire to represent Pakistan on the grand stage of the World Cup. After all, every cricketer aspires to be part of this monumental event.

Yet, if Hasan indeed had prior knowledge, it raises serious questions about the transparency and integrity of the selection process, a facet that the cricketing community holds in high regard.

As the controversy surrounding Hasan Ali’s prophetic statement continues to swirl, cricket fans around the world are left with one burning question: Did he have inside information, or was it just a lucky guess? The mystery remains unsolved!
