High summer temperatures often affect the operation of our mobile devices. The hotter it is, the greater the risk that the mobile or any other device will fail. High temperatures not only affect performance, as is commonly believed, but can cause overheating or permanent damage to internal components like the battery.
Both Apple and Samsung advise using their devices when the ambient temperature is between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius. If these scales are exceeded, the hardware itself will begin to manage itself to dissipate heat, pausing the load, reducing performance or disabling some components. Also, if the phone deems there is a risk of overheating, the system will automatically shut down until the temperature returns to optimal levels.
In the hottest periods, the ambient temperature usually exceeds the 35 degrees recommended by the manufacturers. If you notice that your phone is overheating, to the point that it becomes difficult to hold it in your hand, you can follow these recommendations:
As we said, if the temperature is very high during the heat wave, your devices may overheat. In the case of the iPhone and iPad, they have built-in protection systems to prevent overheating.
When the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, performance slows down with applications that require graphics power, the screen may dim or turn off, and it enters a state of low power consumption.
Also, if the iPhone overheats, it will display a warning message for the user to turn off the iPhone and place it in a cool and dry place to cool down. In some cases it will be possible to make emergency calls.
What manufacturers like Apple do warn is that you should never do is put your mobile or any other device in the fridge. Extreme temperature changes could damage the screen or cause damage to some internal components. It is also not recommended to place it under cold water, even if it has protection against water.
