> The app is so heavy that the phone is overheating after the first photo.

I have the same phone and no overheating errors here.

Do you mean the phone got slightly warm? That’s not overheating, it’s just what happens when you use an app that leverage the CPU for anything non-trivial. It’s not overheating.

EDIT: The screenshot below clarifies that the heat warning is a message in the app, not the actual iOS overheating protection as ( https://support.apple.com/en-us/118431 ). Regardless, I still can’t trigger the in-app temperature warning on my phone.

It's literally the app complaining about it: https://a.dropoverapp.com/cloud/download/b191e7b8-8dad-4fed-...

It will dim the screen soon, so much that it's unusable outdoors. I wasn't able to capture a photo outdoors yesterday using this app because of this. The first photo slowly finished processing but the app crashed, lost the photo. Then the device was overheating, the screen dimmed to unusable and the FPS dropped, the app become unresponsive and the music went away, the AirPods re-connected. Couldn't even try to capture a second one.

It wasn't even that hot, just 28C.

I’d be shocked if this is an actual limitation of the hardware. Modern iPhones have plenty of horsepower for computational photography.

I bet this a software bug of some sort - like they’re using the cpu where it should be using Metal or something. Hopefully they can sort it out.

iPhone have less ram though, compared to Pixels and androids in general.

Depends where it's being used. The phone can easily get that hot if you're shooting in sunlight.

Interesting. I can get the app to crash if I spam the photo button and queue up the maximum number (8) of background processing tasks. Feels like an OOM error if I had to guess. Can’t get any of the other things you experienced to occur, though I haven’t tried Bluetooth audio.
