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

He's allowed to comment, but ultimately if something was done to "prevent" an app from looping it would also prevent apps that legitimately need to use a lot of CPU from doing so.
Same here. Just happened now and I googled to see if anyone else had an issue and whattya know😣. What’s going on Apple
BTW, it’s not fixed with the newest iOS. I just d/l 13.1.1 last night (since this is a brand new phone), and this is a problem with that.
Apple did a battery test on mine as well, said my battery is fine. I also have an appointment tomorrow at the Genius Bar (Apple store).
Yup. same problem here
Agreed
I have the same heating issue with my Iphone 11 pro while I am putting it on charge
Do a master reset. Quickly depress volume up then do the same with volume down then hold the power button in until the apple logo appears.
The phone does not have to be on in order to do a factory reset. Just click the volume up button then the down button and hold the power button until the logo appears in rapid sequence.
New $1100 iPhones shouldn’t get so warm that they are uncomfortable to hold. That’s not normal.

The issue here is with developers.
Prerelease versions of iOS 13 have been available to developers explicitly so they could test with it for over three months now.
my 11 Pro max got very overheated not took the case off and it returned to normal. Has anyone experienced something like this with their 11 pro max?
Yes it happened once to my max running 13.1 Found the phone hot and unresponsive in my front pocket. I had to do a master reset to get it working again. Never did it again since.
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.
My iPhone 11 pro just got it 3 days ago, it immediately getting hot in 1 minutes while playing the Farm Heroes Saga. I used my 6s for 4years it didn’t have any problem, feel disappointed
