Is Your iPhone Too Hot? Here's Why, and How to Fix It!
Ғылым және технология
Your iPhone or iPad is a hard-working computer, even though it’s small enough to fit in your pocket or a bag. But unlike desktop or laptop computers, it doesn’t have a heat sink or a fan to regulate its temperature and keep everything cool. When you put any device under stress, it will generate heat.
But there’s a difference between a device that’s warm to the touch and overheating. We’ll discuss why your iPhone or iPad is getting hot, along with how to diagnose and fix the problem.

I live in a super hot country (temps reach about 130°F or 52°C) and using my phone (xs max) outdoors during daytime makes it heat up like crazy. It starts lagging and even gets a little too hot to hold. I've mostly lost battery health only because of heat. Wish they had some kind of cooling mechanism, especially when they're charging so much for these phones.

Great recommendations. I have to say that watched until the end with really bad english but it actually worked! I have bandaids in my fingers because of the heat, but now is really about to get better. Thank you, mister. You’re such a nice person.
Now this makes me wonder something. If using the iPhone whilst charging makes it get more hotter, is it safe to have an external battery bank?
I always wondered if this was a common issue with iPhones. Guess it is. I have the Xs Max it’s my first iPhone to own. Had it for 3-4 years already. I noticed it would get fairly hot throughout the years. Has apple fixed this issue with the newer models at least?

Harley Quinn Yeah. If I have to get a new phone, it won’t be an iPhone
Only happens when I'm on a call. Phone is charged from 75-87% no apps or tabs open. Phone just started doing this after latest update in Oct. 2020.
Thank you for your video 🤧✨
I don’t get it. Apple CarPlay charges the phone because you have to plug it in and uses GPS for navigation at the same time laying it on the induction charging pad which is built into the car as a place to place the phone. An unavoidable combination and it gets molten lava hot! I don’t get it. Phone gets hot, apps freeze, apps crash, calls fall off, texts send as sms not iMessage and pictures won’t load on any websites. It’s a brand new iPhone. I never ever have background app refresh on. I always close un used apps in background. I turn off Bluetooth. I keep brightness down constantly. Any advice?
Even In a very cold room in still gets hot but I’ve noticed that taking off it’s case for a few minutes cools it down really fast.

thank you, very helpful and interesting
Yesterday I learned why my phone has been getting very hot and charging for much longer: my Airdrop was on and probably someone in my neighborhood or a malware had been accessing the device, so I switched that off. Afterwards I switched off bluetooth and my phone cooled down very fast. It’s been a day I have bluetooth switched off and it has helped. If you do not need bluetooth, just switch it off, example if you’re going to bed just switch it off.
Thanks lol I just bought a iPhone 13 and I thought my phone is broken or something because it was getting warm when I was using it while charging I switched from android
Steps for tuning off app refresh…? Thx.

I have an iPhone 6s, the problem is that it doesn't even need to be "hot", just warm (when I'm using Spotify for example listening to a podcast) after a while the screen just completely crashes, it's not completely black but a very heavy white dim which makes it almost impossible to see anything, I can see the apps on the home screen if I really focus but the screen is like 95% blank. And it doesn't give me any warnings at all, so I think the phone is simply getting old but I'm not sure. The only way to fix it is to go inside somewhere and let it cool down, I have the latest iOS update and my apps are updated, so I don't understand what could be causing it.
