       | Looking at the Sony because it has all the top specs, including
       | sdcard, headphone jack, no notch, headphone amp.

         | This was actually a widespread software issue, triggered by
         | some apps. I've seen it happening in a last year iPhone 14
         | running Instagram.
         | 
         | So I would say that it is an iOS 17 issue, more than a hardware
         | issue.

         | We also don't know yet if they're downclocking now or if there
         | was some other issue; I'm eyeing the new USB-C charging since
         | that was a real problem on earlier MBPs.
