Hi!
Been using Plex pro pass with my iPhone since about 6 months. I’m updating both the server and mobile app. Even when I have downloaded one file the phone gets really hot when playing and uses about 30-40% battery in one hour if it’s a 4k hdr mkv.
Is this a known issue? My old android phone didn’t have this problem
I have the iPhone Pro as well.
There are no issues for me.
You aren’t going to get 8 hours of video out of it running the wifi and phone at 4K HDR levels. You should good 4.
I suggest you take it to apple.
Plex app uses old pre-metal API that Apple deprecated years ago. It’s very inefficient.
ATV users have similar thermal throttling and stuttering issues.
If you want,
(you didn’t hear if from me… 
)
The Infuse player app both integrates very well with PMS
AND
is, imho, the premier player on iOS with its use of Apple’s Metal API.
Oh I know 
Thanks a lot for the input!
Will try Infuse
Just a short update in case someone with the same question as mine stumbles across this thread.
Thanks a lot for the tip. Infuse was far superior on my phone. It drew 8 % battery and the phone didn’t get hot during 1 hour 4K HDR
