P: Lightroom iPad/iPhone Device overheats & brightness dims

This is a widespread proglem it happens on my iPad Pro M2, iPhone 15 Pro Max and my previous iPhone 12 Pro Max. Many of my friends in the photography community also have this issue. The battery saver mode being an inconvenient workaround just evidences that this is a coding and optimisation issue. I am very unhappy with how Adobe are handling this and I simply do not believe anyone who says it only affects a small number of users there are thousands of results on Google evidencing affected users.

Updating Status to Investigating

@Matt Silverman  

Regarding upvotes, see: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/bots-generating-bogus-upvotes/m-p/14210336  All or nearly all upvotes - especially on a comment are likely bogus. The community team is working with the platform team to reduce this bot traffic.

Regarding the bug and recently-posted workarounds, See @Charlie.D 's post at the top of this thread. Linked here for your convenience. 

Regarding: "Everybody has this problem. Shame on Adobe."

If this problem were as widespread as this statement maintains, there would be many more posters on this thread. This merged thread has only accumulated 18 Me-toos in 6 years. That is a small volume given the population of iOS devices running Lightroom, but a volume we take very seriously nonetheless: hence, Charlie's aforementioned post, investigatory bug report, and continuing attention.  Anecdotally, I currently test on 7 separate iOS devices dating back to 2016 and have never experienced the problem a single time. If this report weren't so hard to replicate it would be much easier for the engineers to identify, diagnose and fix.

Based on that last statement, what additional, meaningful, factual information can you add to the data that engineering collects in their investigation? 

And consider that I got 17 upvotes and Adobe has not piped in here to even admit there is a problem. What is wrong with them? Do their engineers have any pride? Lightroom was made by Thomas Knoll! He would be outraged. 

Everybody has this problem. Shame on Adobe.

@SxyBiscuit many thanks. So much complains and no solutions from Adobe and your advice did save me from charging my iPad everyday because of a few daily edits. I just edited a few dozen images, 2h15min screen time just for LR and my batery went from 89% to 57%. Yesterday same work mean I had to charge. Many thanks.

For Adobe: I didn't noticed performance issues with batery save mode (ok, 1-2 seconds more for rendering?), please check how the app is using the M2 chip..

Ive been in contact with Adobe support about this specific issue and it's been bugging me too 

I may have a "temporary" solution though! 
we tried setting my iPhone 13 Pro Max to Power Save/Low Power and it appears to not be overheating even at full brightness! Obviously this isn't a proper fix but it does give me the idea that the problem is CPU based and when in normal mode the app will overwork the cpu by running at full speed and using full usage of the CPU the entire time which needs to be optimised and because of low power mode the cpu load is significantly cut back letting the app run properly!

hopefully it can be fixed properly soon but this seems like a viable option for now 🙂

Their engineers obviously confused "color temperature" with "temperature". ;-)... so sad that Adobe has ignored this glaring problem for so long. My latest trip last month made me decide to abandon LR full stop... got results in LR that I did not match through ACR in After Effects producing lots of unknown noise. Adobe is a joke these days... just not sure what to replace it with.

No matter what task, even just swiping through photos to set flags (no editing) makes iPad to get really hot and consume a lot of battery while using lightroom. I understand that rendering and advanced editing may use a lot of cpu resources, but also when browsing and rating pictures? Why? It's like playing a demanding game, no sense. Please fix it!

Uso un 14pro máx para editar y una vez que he comenzado y voy avanzando en los diferentes ajustes de la imagen el programa me tira a 0 la iluminación de la pantalla lo que me hace tener que salir del App y volver a empezar. Viene pasadome hace 1 mes aproximadamente y solo pasa con esta aplicación. Uso el equipo para jugar y para trabajar y con ninguna otra aplicación tengo este problema. Necesito ayuda con este problema porque retrasa totalmente el ritmo de trabajo y me ha causado molestias con algunos clientes.
