During a heatwave, daytime and nighttime temperatures are significantly above normal for a particular season and geographic location. This climatic event can affect both urban and rural areas and have various consequences on human health, environment, economy and technology.
Although electronic devices are designed to operate within certain ranges, high temperatures can cause problems and damage their performance and functionality.
Thus, Apple, through its official account, will provide you with the recommended temperatures. iPhone is at room temperature between 0 and 35 °C and storage temperature between -20 and 45 °C. while for It is recommended that you use the MacBook, notebook computer in a place where the ambient temperature is between 10°C and 35°C.
According to the ‘iPadizate’ web portal there are some signs that the iPhone shows when the temperature is too high, these are:
