For those who are keeping their 16 Pro Max, or using it as a secondary camera: I had a big problem with overheating, to the point where the screen would darken, and shooting in bright daylight became impossible. I asked ChatGPT and it said, (1) don't use your heavy plastic case, and (2) take off the heavy metal magnet ring stand on the back of the phone. Which case? It recommended the Catalyst Influencer case. I'm still in early testing but the overheating so far does seem to be a lot better.
