    Hello Bry1211,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    From your post I see that you're concerned about your iPhone's temperature when using it.  It is normal for your iPhone to increase in temperature when you're using it, as the body of the iPhone acts as a heat sink.

     

    When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.

    Higher ambient temperature conditions and activities that may cause the device to alter performance and behavior include:

    • Leaving the device in a car on a hot day.
    • Leaving the device in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
    • Using certain features in hot conditions or direct sunlight for an extended period of time, such as GPS tracking or navigation in a car, or playing a graphics-intensive game.

    Take care,
