Week 39 in review: Xiaomi 13T is here, iPhone 15 Pro Max overheating

As the new iPhones shipped out to buyers and reviews went live, some things became apparent about the new iPhones. The Pro Max has one hell of a camera - it ranked second on DxOMark's chart (a huge leap for an iPhone, historically), and the Pro models seem to struggle to cool down the A17 Pro chipset. According to Ming-Chi Kuo's survey, Apple made compromises to the cooling system, reduced the cooling area, and by choosing titanium over steel, made the Pro models harder to cool.
