iPhone 15/Plus Heat on iPhone 15 Plus

Been using the 15+ and no issues here. No overheating and I agree the battery life is amazing. I am using the new 80% battery optimization and I do pretty well all day with regular use (social, phone calls, emails, etc).
Yeah, I don't think you're going to get "Pro" quality but if you use it for social media use, like Instagram - I think its more than enough. I saw someone post this:
48MP/24MP
26mm equiv.
8x6mm sensor
About double the size of the iPhone 14/14 Plus but still less than iPhone 14-15 pro line.

Yeah should be close? Just. It sure is the plus has this f stop which blurs background so nicely!

Pro/Max is the main concern.
The regular models use aluminum and A16, both of which are known variables from last year.
I am the kind of person that just points and shoots. I do not even zoom most of the time.
For me, there shouldn't be any difference w.r.t camera improvements in the Pro models. Correct?
Update: Ordered a 15 Plus 128GB Black.

I’m getting black. For the first time ever it was the only color I was interested in getting. Normally there are 2 or 3 that I like.
Light colors are more popular. Same with the Pro models. People want to show off the camera lenses.
I’m on day 5th of my 15 Plus. No heating issues. No other issues. Very happy with it. If it’s true that its battery life exceeds that of the 15 PM, that makes it a very solid choice. I went with yellow. The yellow in person is much different from on the Apple promo shots. Much more muted. Barely yellow. I have wondered every now and then whether I regret my color choice, but it is growing on me.
I want a larger display and better battery life.
For ~$100 AUD I think it is reasonable.
No heat here
My daughter got her phone yesterday, fully charged it and the put it through 6-7 hours of consistent use and only got it down to 65%
Her 12 pro would be close to 10%, possibly single digit (I know it’s not a fair comparison)
I’ll try to find the article I read, claiming this has the best battery of any phone tested

I still have my 13PM so have been doing similar tasks on both, streaming Netflix, web browsing, photo editing editing and both phone get about the same temperature. So now I’m having seconds thoughts.
Btw try browsing the Patagonia.com website for 5+ minutes. Both phone became pretty toasty one the back top next to the camera. Weird!

I’m really drawn to the extra battery life potential of the plus but don’t want to give up the 5x zoom.

I don’t know because I never paid much attention to the 13PM getting warm before. I know it did, but didn’t really pay attention to when until now. The one overheating issue I had with my 15PM where it was almost too hot to hold was when I had the camera app open for all a long time. Not to the point where i got a warning message but shutting it down didn’t work, only a hard restart. My 13PM would also get pretty hot if it left the camera app open by accident.
