iPhone 11 Pro getting HOT
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?

Yes I’ve experienced the same. The phone gets really hot in the back and sides. Also - the wireless charging is really slow. An entire night of wireless charging (6+hours) took my battery from 46% to 73%. That is not good at all. Did anyone else experience the same issue ?
Same here.
Just measured mine at 42º C / 107.6º F, with some hotspots around the camera at 48º
Not charging, not under sunlight, room temperature 24ºC, screen brightness around 40%
Consuming basically video via WIFI with audio via bluetooth, which usually doesn't even gets noticeable warm.
Same thing happened to me. Get a replacement. I did. So far- one week- hasn’t been running hot., unlike how the first phone behaved. Still, I’m wary and I hope this new one is not a lemon, either- good luck!
i recently got one for my birthday but didnt use it until my phone came in
first time out of the box it looked great
transferring data from my other iphone it got HOT but it had a phone case on
when i took the case off it did better but still pretty hot
then low wehn power mode was on it hot even colder but still warm
over all it is a problem
I had the same problem. Did a forced restart by holding power button and volume up until it restarted. I then closed about 100 open safari windows and my batter life improved dramatically and the phone no longer gets hot. In settings—>battery, my battery usage was 33% safari and I wasnt even using it. Hopefully this helps someone.
was watching video in facebook and the phone got heat up in a few min, and it was not comfortable to hold.
i thought apple would have resolve this same issues long ago.
same happened to my xs as well.
Did you see my other posts? Apple replaced my first, HOT, iPhone 11, still under warranty. Why is Apple not resolving your issue, when they resolved this for me? My replacement phone, thus far, runs cool, as it should!. I‘m tired of hearing of all of these accounts of Apple Support - not coming through for their customers - it’s wrong.. They should do you the same solid they did, me, by replacing your unreasonably HOT phone, as well. Screenshot this post And send THIS and all of my posts on This topic, to the next tech support person you speak with- maybe you can get some movement in the right direction.
Oh tyvm!! I sure will!! It's only 2 months old I can't text and searching for contacts takes forever and it's just a POS I asked to have it replaced so I will get with my tech person and show her this! I really appreciate it!
After having the 11 pro for a few months, it started getting extremely hot a few days ago, and the battery life was being negatively affected. I tried a few things, and finally researched how to do a hard reset. It worked, and my phone is back to normal. I hope this helps someone else!
This also happened to me after a few months of having my phone. I did a hard restart. You can look it up, and it took me a couple of tries to actually do it correctly, but it’s simple. You quickly hit the volume up button, then volume down button, then the power button. It will not ask if you want to power down, it will just automatically do it. My phone is back to normal. Hope it works for you!
Overheated battery is not a normal issue. Of course costumers can return the phone.
But there is a reason why buyers buy a specific phone, especially with iphones. Heat is a major problem because it makes the battery work harder. It could create damage to the device, shorten life and I am not talking about the dangers while using it in the car or hot weather. The competition in the mobile market is tough and Apple has strong background and experience. They had before problems with overheated batteries so I would expat them to solve that by now. I just received my iphone 11 and have the same issue - its too hot and have not start using it yet. VERY Disappointing.

I have an otter case, and this phone still gets very hot, it's very uncomfortable physically in your hands, I have mild uncomfortable sensation in the palms of my hands and fingers where the phone is in contact with my skin, the screen gets very hot as well . Not acceptable. I often go back to my 8 plus and use that one whenever I can.
This issue needs to be fixed by Apple.
This is the second time my 11 promax iPhone has done this to me sitting in my cool bedroom OK maybe I was on it for a long time but this should not happen it never happened with my 8+ which I am using right now
Just trying to hard restart the only reason that I can write this is because I kept my iPhone a plus to use not as a phone but for everything else. I wish I never switched my phone the iPhone 11 promax does some really weird things
I kept my iPhone 8+ Are use it for everything but time falls it’s useful but I want Apple to fix my iPhone 11 which is the one I make my phone calls from. This is unacceptable from Apple I need to get into touch with them
