iPhone 11 Pro getting HOT

Well then you have two choices:

1. Try to diagnose the issue. What apps if any does Settings -> Battery show is using a lot of power? Certainly I do not experience this using Safari to web surf, but it also depends on the sites you are visiting.
2. Return your phone for a full refund under Apple's 14 day return policy.

Hi Team,

Even after updating to ios 13.1.2, my iphone 11 pro still heats up a lot whenever on network, on charging, wifi search and etc.

Aside this, I am getting application issues with Instagram and others as well. Please see attached snapshot for reference.

seeing these many issues, I was quite happy with iphone 10 earlier.

thanks

This is a brand new device, so no, you don't know what is normal for it.

These phones have much more powerful processors in them, which generate much more heat when they are heavily loaded.

Also, especially during an install of a new phone and after an iOS update, you can expect high CPU usage and shortened battery life for about the first 24 hours as all the Spotlight indices on the phone need to be rebuilt so you can find things when you search.

If the phone didn't shut down because it got too hot:

it's within the normal operating parameters for the phone.

I got mine on the weekend I had to upgrade as I was on a lease plan and nah I don’t like it. I wanted to keep my 8+ I needed to pay $420! And the heating up is ridiculous! But having sad that I just took my cover off and it seems to be better? I will play a few rounds of candy crush and see what happens 😉

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?

I checked my battery usage in settings and saw an app (dictionary.com) was constantly running in the background. It had used 85% of my battery and my phone was getting so hot, it wouldn’t charge. I killed that app and that fixed the problem. So you may have some random app running in background. It was a simple fix so helpfully that helps.

It isn't the case for you.

It is the case for most.

There are methods to try and determine why a battery is being drawn down, mostly by checking the Battery Setting to see who it says the big battery users are.

I have an 11 Pro Max. Definitely gets warm on normal use (more so than my previous iPhone 8 Plus) but it gets abnormally hot when using google maps. Apple maps is better in terms of heat but it still warms up significantly. Having spent over a $1000, this is really annoying. Im seeing some people are having luck resetting the phone so I’ll try that tonight and check back in later to update y’all as to whether that worked or not.

Before resetting, check your battery usage is settings and see if there’s an app continuously running in the background. If so, change it and that should fix it. That worked for me. (I had an app that used 85% of my battery.) Hope this helps.

Mine is only gets too hot when you are on a phone call. There is a need to worry when it’s so hot it hurts to have it touch your ear. Verizon is replacing mine.

Hopefully there are no issues with the new one.

i have the 11 pro and the max pro and the max is the only one we are having issues with.

Just received my Pro yesterday. Also noticed after light use, the back just above the logo gets very warm. And just this morning I have sat on the couch and scrolled through Instagram for 10 minutes. 100% down to 86%. My 7+ that I upgraded from wouldn’t do this to me.

Slow charging on wireless charging. The iPhone is too hot to hold. I am a little mad spending the on a new phone to have these problem’s . I was not using the phone, nor was it charging. It was sitting on the nightstand when I picked it up to find it was hot.

Interesting. My battery is pretty much flat after 4 hours of me barely using it too.

My phone is almost too hot to hold. When I first turned it on I genuinely couldn’t hold it!

I rang o2 today and they’ve issued me a replacement...

Me and my mom both got the 11 pro max. Both our phones are overheating. I had the 8 plus and NEVER had this problem. Just imessaging or web browsing with all other apps closed the screen, back and sides heat up within mere minutes. I called Verizon and they walked me through some tests. Had me factory reset my phone for nothing, still overheating. I updated to IOS 13.1 a couple hours ago, still overheating. I’ve been working with Verizon for a replacement and now I’m going to have to have my mom’s replaced since I just found out she’s having the same problems.

Interesting you should send me that. As if my iPhone starting to get warm seconds after use and getting hot after just two minutes from imessaging and all other apps closed is normal. As if I should just deal with a hot phone because it’s not giving me a temperature warning. My iPhone 8 Plus never got hot. Never even got warm in fact, except on the rare occasion. This phone cost over a grand and I don’t think I should be dealing with a brand new iPhone that gets uncomfortably hot every time I want to use it for a couple minutes.
