Even Steve Jobs had multiple units of the OG iphone so his presentation will not be interrupted when one unit overheats and hangs up.

                the things is the problem happen with iphone15, not with other phones(at least there no report whatsoever)
                otherwise bosch or whoever make the charger should already respond or even probably fix their product

                so rather coincidental bad-luck streak with iphone15 or its caused by iphone15 changing the wireless-coil, we have yet to wait for more information regarding the matter

                but i dont think whoever make wireless charger will take responsbility for the problem, as long no massive problem aside from one specific phone model/lineup
                in such case, the best they will do is just make announcement notice, not to use the charger with those specific phones

                  Apple is fooling EVERYONE

                    It's more likely a Bosch charger so it's probably widespread.
                    I'm honestly surprised that it took so long for this to happen. Wireless chargers put out 2.5 VAC per turn of conductor. That's a lot. Anything that conducts power in a circle gets that power. There's a special circuit in the charger that's to guess if it's cooking some random piece of metal (coin, foil) that's in the way and shut down. Then there's the next problem of inductive coupling. Once you put power into an inductor, it must always come back out one way or another - EM radiation, electric arcing, circuit destruction, whatever. If the phone cuts its load before the charger cuts its output, there's extra power to go somewhere.
                    Hopefully it's caught by a snubber circuit that turns excess EM power into heat. If not, there's always the battery packaging, RF shielding, and NFC antenna to take the hit.

                      Don't worry guys, Apple will blame this on BMW.

                        What a failure of a phone lmao

                                    Well and people said Nokia XR21 is a garbage for 700. This thing cost at least 1500 and is dead even before you open the retail box with so many bugs, problems, errors and mistakes.

                                      People are blaming india instead blaming apple lol 👇
