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?

my iPhone 11 got hot what dose it mean
Question marked as
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
- make sure it’s running the latest iOS
- check which app consumed the most energy under settings>battery>battery usage by app, delete the problematic app if it’s not essential
- close the “background refresh” of that app (check other battery saving tips online, it could be other tricks)
- if none of the above worked, reset all setting (settings>general>reset>reset all settings)
- still no luck, contact apple for replacement

this was what the apple customer support guys told me when I complained to them of overheating.
Don't worry about it unless it shuts down.
Mine got hot enough to shut itself off yesterday in the middle of a call with a client. It is a problem.
Just got mines yesterday and realized it gets super hot after 10 minutes as well.
The phone will shut itself down if it gets too hot, so unless it does that, yes, it's normal, at least in some circumstances.
I was thinking seriously of buying iphone 11 coz I have heating prob with my iphone 7. No, but thanks, not until I see serious effort on the part of Apple to to solve the heating issue.

i purchased my iPhone 11 in January 2020. It is July and it’s getting very hot after being in use and isn’t holding a charge. What’s wrong and what do I do?
i Just bought the iPhone 11 pro, paid it in full, and I am extremely unhappy with it.. heats up too fast.. I can barely use it.. it is making me regret leaving my XR... I am super upset
Well so far so good. Replacement phone is much more normal temperature,. Will update again, in a few weeks.
I beg to differ, If the phone is getting too hot to handle, or causes the screen to have a shadowy area, or is a fire risk, It is a problem.
