Recently it was reported that older Samsung phones suffered from a green line after they updated to the latest OS. While some might have stated that it was the update itself that caused the issue, there is a much more likely suspect that caused the fault: Heat. However, the question is why heat is dangerous and what we can do about it.
It's pretty easy to forget about heat being an issue in phones, especially as we often focus on the more physical dangers like cracks or damage to the charging ports. This is perfectly reasonable, after all the more obvious threats to your device will always be more of a concern. However, we forget dangers like heat generation to our detriment. I know from experience how damaging excessive heat generation can be.
