Just received my iPhone 11 Pro and after a few minutes of light use, the back and sides heat up to where I can barely hold the phone. Any ideas?
iPhone
I have read through all posts and want to offer my 2 cents
My iphone 11 pro was normal until I started using the keynote app. It heated up real fast to a point that it is uncomfortably hot (within 1 min). Whenever I switch to other apps, the phone starts to cool. If I switch keynote on, phone starts cooking again. That’s obviously very weird, then I found this thread.
So following the discussion, I made sure my iOS is up to date on 13.1.1. Then I checked my “battery” tab in the settings, 10 min of using keynote consumed 15% battery, while the whole day of using other apps only make up 85%. Keynote is essential to me in my job, so deleting it is not an option. I also didn’t want to “reset all settings”. Instead, I closed settings>general>background app refresh. That totally fixed the problem
To sum up, here is what you can do if your phone is heating up abnormally

Phones way too hot after 1 minute of use with most setting turned off! I miss my 3D Touch!!!
Well to update I just started playing a game and it instantly started to heat up! I think this is going to be a big issue ...
I set up my new iPhone 11 pro and it’s also getting hot, with only Spotify open. Not to
mention the mail app keeps crashing the phone
It is an issue when it gets so hot you can’t hold it to your ear.
Just setting up my GF's 11 Pro and during iOS 13.1 install it thermally shut down - I had to redo it with the phone on an iceblock.
I would say the charger is defective
I've felt a friends XS heat up real good. Not so hot it burns your hands, but enough for you to want to switch hands after holding it for a few seconds. THAT'S not normal.
imo use iphone 11 pro max vary hot ios 13.4.1 update come this poplams my battery health 100 to 96 in 4 days
Get it checked once seems to be a issue considering speaker issue as well.
Yup it’s pretty normal when it’s on charging. Mainly because of the c type charging we have now. But nevertheless it’s not an issue until the phone shuts off on its own.
Your experience with past devices isn't directly applicable to this one.
New design, new more powerful processor (A13 vs. A11.)
See my other posts. My replacement phone, thus far, hasn’t had heat issues.
Heating while charging or while in use is perfectly normal, especially when using the phone in a lower signal area.
Resetting all settings to factory standard is a real pain in the but. I did that for a work install and I was updating settings and passwords for a week after. Couldn’t even use my Apple TV because of course I lost the tiny remote and couldn’t establish connection without it. So far, none of these options to fix the over heating issue sound appealing to me. For the money I spent I should not be dealing with a hot phone after minimal use and nothing new downloaded. It should just work right?
This is ridiculous,
What's the solution?
