    Lithium batteries aren’t going to thermal runaway at 46ºc.

    Edit: I looked it up. it’s ~66º, so maybe closer for comfort that one would like.

      Yup. Not that far from recorded temps. Combine that with leaving phone in car or in direct sunlight and you enter dangerous zone.

        iirc iphones at least turn off if overheating so they might just be fine in that regard. sucks to get to your phone in the other room and find it turned off tho ig.

          Those situations are best avoided. Fail safes are there to prevent catastrophic failure, but heat does affect things permanently. Your battery life will take a big hit. CPU might not like it, etc.
