iPhone 11 Pro getting HOT

It has now sorted itself out. It became very hot at the start up when I started to transfer data and apps from old to new device. It started to cool down after 48 hours. Thanks to everyone for the helpful tips and comments.

Go to the T-Mobile / sprint store and tell them ya want a new phone and tell them what happened .ya could also call or chat by texting them .they should be able to help ya .same thing happened to me and I got another one but now this one is getting hot when used for a long time .guess I will go back to store and see if I can just get a new one from the store .(my phones were shipped to me ) .

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.

Resetting all settings worked for me with regards to the overheating problem

I have just switched off Siri search and related info for each app and that seems to have solved the problem. I am sure it will overheat with one of the apps where I have left the Siri search on.

I received my iPhone 11 Pro on Friday and notice my phone getting hot while using GPS on Saturday and then again on Monday. It was uncomfortably hot and to hold. I took it to Apple Monday evening and they informed me that as long as the phone doesn’t shut down or give the the too hot alert then it is fine. I still think something is wrong and I will keep a close eye on this.

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.

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...

If your phone is truly overheating, you will see this:

That having been said, if your merchant is willing to replace your device, feel free to do so.

”Go to setting > general > reset > reset all settings.” worked for the overheating on my iPhone 11 Pro! I got it today and was wondering the whole day is it would persist. Thanks for the solution. My battery went low today pretty quickly as well but could have been from the data migration and downloading apps. Hopefully will be fine.

My Pro max got very warm the other day after the phone rang. I turned it to silent and slipped it in my pocket. A half hour later I took the phone out from my side pocket to find it very very warm and shut down. The phone would not turn back on without a master reset. This on IOS 13.1. Once the reset process was finished the phone cooled off and was working normal again. This kind of thing never happened with my Xs max. I’m still a bit concerned however.

That is not at all normal unless you only have one bar of signal strength.

I have made several cell phone calls of over an hour in an area with three bars of signal and my phone is barely warmer than room temperature.

Go to “Accessibility” then “Display and Text Size”. Turn off Auto Brightness. That’ll brighten up the screen. Also make sure to turn off “True Tone” under “Display and Brightness” if you don’t want it to look dingy.

i had that extreme overheating problem for several month after I got my new iPhone 11Pro.

I purchased an Otter Defender case ASAP to protect me from the extreme heat of my iPhone 11Pro ( as well as to quell my fears that the heat would cause the battery to swell like it did on my iPhone 5S, and quite possibly catch fire or explode). The Otter Defender case is like armor, so it keeps the heat at a level I can tolerate. Plus it keeps me safe.

Then, I started to re-boot every night. Of course that requires re-entering some passwords every time , which can be quite annoying, but that seemed to lessen the heat a bit more . Since I did those things , although I can feel some heat at times, my phone rarely overheats to the point where it could be dangerous. To say this is a reasonable fix, it is not , but it keeps me safe and keeps my phone intact.
