All iPhones can run ScoreCam, but older models are more sensitive to heat during long or demanding sessions — especially when live streaming at 60fps.
| iPhone Generation | Chip | Heat Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR | A11, A12 | High — sustained 60fps + streaming will throttle |
| iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max | A13 | Moderate — manageable with care at 60fps |
| iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max | A14 | Low — handles most configurations without issue |
| iPhone 13, 14, 15 (non-Pro) | A15, A16, A17 | Very low — rarely a concern |
| iPhone 15 Pro, 16 Pro, 17 Pro / Max | A17 Pro – A19 Pro | Negligible — dedicated media engine handles everything efficiently |
If you are on an iPhone X or 11 and seeing heat warnings, the most effective changes are switching from 60fps to 30fps and turning off Live Stream Replay when not in use. See: My iPhone stops recording due to high temperature. How can I prevent this?
