I think you're just experiencing screen improvements there and not necessarily thermal improvements, right? Very well could be. Just the screen is brighter and takes less power at a given level of brightness. So now the dim one is not as dim and you're attributing that to better cooling or better thermals. But I think it's just screen improvements that you're benefiting from there. But anyway.

Either way, the experience isn't as bad as it has been. That's the thing, though. It's very situational. If you buy a car with a big glass roof and all of a sudden your phone is overheating because it's on the dashboard because it's getting more direct sunlight, you're going to say, oh, it's the phone's fault, but maybe it's because you got a new car, right?

All of these phones have always been very vulnerable to being in direct sunlight for any amount of time, and it's just a question of... Do you start putting your phone in more direct sunlight? If so, you will perceive that phone as being worse thermally. But, I mean, there's 15 pros I have heard people saying gets a little bit warmer than they expected.

And like a lot of these things, especially with the SoC, the heat is very localized, and it's when the SoC is doing a lot of work, right? The thing that gets hot is that little SoC in there. And so... On iPhone setup day, when it's redoing all your indexes and doing all that stuff, yeah, it's going to get real hot and people are going to notice.

But I think over time with normal phone usage where you just pick it up, scroll through something, and put it back down, it doesn't really get a chance to get that hot until you put it on the dashboard of your car.

That'll be the test, actually, because right now you're like, oh, the big phone, it's annoying, but it's nice to have more screen real estate. You're really going to find out how much you care about that screen when you go back to a smaller one. That's what you're going to notice.

If you don't notice, it takes you a day to find it or whatever, but if you look at that screen and you're like, I'm so used to seeing so much more stuff, or in this app I can see a whole other column of whatever's... That's going to really hurt you. So we'll see if you've irrevocably become one of the giant phone people or whether you were just a tourist in their land.

Sounds like somebody might need a phone pouch.

How are you scratching your screen? How is this happening? How are you still using a phone pouch? What year is this? I'm not, but Casey needs to be. I'm not using one. I have one scratch on my screen and it is very small. And I've had this phone for two years, right? I don't know what you're doing.

Unless you're going to have someone follow you around with a camera to find out what you're doing as you stick the phone into your pocket full of sand. Maybe you need a pouch.

Are you putting it in your pocket with keys?
