that sounds logical. But I would swear that it wasn't that way in previous version...
Thanks for explanation

I have always noticed the very high temperature from using Waze in the car, but I have not seen any additional increase since this last update on my side.jakudo wrote:Exactly. I'm almost sure it's problem of the last version. I'm using waze for more than a year and it warm the iPhone that much just in last few weeks (maybe months). They must have changed something, that make it that warm...
Yes this application is using every possible element of power and if you are also charging it at the same time there is a very large energy transfer which is converting to heat. Like gettingthere, I decided to use a vent mount in my car from Proclips and it works very well and helps keep it cool.gettingthere wrote:The device can get rather hot. The more functions that you are using, the warmer it gets.

I notice that it's worse when using Waze and charging from a low battery state. I have a dash mount and aim one of my AC vents directly towards my phone to help keep it cool. I have never had a case where my iPhone 4 has shut down due to excessive heat. The iPhone has a built in sensor that will power off your iPhone, due to heat, before damage occurs. So your device feeling hot is not necessarily causing any problems.
I guess Apple does not care to have phones work properly in the central US.gettingthere wrote:The iPhone 4S should not be used in an environment where the temperature is higher than 95 degrees F. If you car (or anywhere else) is hotter than that and you are running your iPhone you are operating it out of specifications.
