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?
iPhone
And what if it gives the too hot alert
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

Not in my case, mine heated up in my pocket just in stand by mode.
New replacement phone is getting warm on the back underneath the camera lens is where it starts.
I have the same issue with my phone. Could you please confirm if the issue is resolved after restoring the phone through itunes?
Yes it was 100% fixed. I still have the phone and it has never happened again.
Mine fixed too with over the air update
Cool. Thanks for the update. Will try doing the same. Hope, it works for me as well.
I tried that. Didn't help.
True Tone, Night Shift, No filters etc. In macrumors many people have this issue.

Me to
Just picked up the new 11 Pro and as I was trying to complete the set up the phone started to get warm. Hope the battery doesn't blow up. Looking for a solution.
And what happened when you went to the Genius Bar.
Resetting all settings worked for me with regards to the overheating problem
I has this problem when I first bought it. But never faced it after updating to latest version of software.
Had the same problem, turned off all location services AND optimised battery charging and it seems to be fine now. Battery usage is normal, no excessive heating.
