I expect them to be like every other phone when running their hardware at 100% and get a reasonably high temperature. It clearly doesn't throttle soon enough for the hardware and heat dissipation they should have meticulously designed it to have, like literally every other phone they have made, and all other phone companies make. There is a reason this is uncommon, it's not supposed to be able to happen, no matter what the software is doing, unless something in the design stages went wrong.
This is exactly what’s happening. It’s “warmer than expected”, not overheating. It’s properly limited, just being pegged at 100% by misbehaving software.
Ah sorry, the way I heard it, it was too hot to touch. If that isn't the case and it's over blown then sure. But I feel like if it was just normal overheating that every phone does when pegged at 100% and charging, it shouldn't have become a story.
