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?

Yes I’ve experienced the same. The phone gets really hot in the back and sides. Also - the wireless charging is really slow. An entire night of wireless charging (6+hours) took my battery from 46% to 73%. That is not good at all. Did anyone else experience the same issue ?

Yeah this is happening to me as well. When the phone gets hot it also stops charging. It's intermittent and doesn't happen every time it's plugged it. When it gets hot it's hot from the top of the phone to the bottom. And it's not like it's getting hot from adding a whole bunch of battery life quickly. Today it got really hot over 1/2 hour and only added 2% to the battery.


Not quite painful to touch but almost and extending the full length and width of the phone.


This feels like a problem. How do we get an answer?

I have just upgraded to IOS 13.2 and now my phone is overheating. Wasn’t doing it before. Really disappointed with all the bugs in this new iPhone 11. Really don’t expect such basic problems after years of running and improving IOS. Really, really disappointing. Just running sudoku app for about 10 seconds and my phone overheats.

Just received also my iPhone 11 Pro and after a few minutes of light use, the back start to get hot, I don’t want to be disappointed because it’s a lot of money. And spending money for the phone you think you deserve seems like it’s not worth the wait and the price. I’m a iPhone user since I had my first IPhone 2011 til I have this iPhone 11 Pro I thought I will be satisfied but now I’m getting disappointed, I waited my order 2 months, and this is my surprise.

1 week after my friend got his iphone 11 pro max, it overheated while he was watching netflix. after 1 hour, the phone shut down and it would not cool down or turn on. the whole phone was burning hot. after 3 hours, it would still not cool down and we tried turning on the phone again in which it failed again... he brought it to the apple store and they could not turn it on either. Today i was trying to take photos with my phone (also 11 pro max) and the camera part started heating up a little (feels warm). my phone constantly warms up so fast and i got my phone last month. my battery health is at 99% already from just yesterday using my phone for less than 10 minutes of it heating up. why is the battery health 99%?? I literally just got this phone late October. Keep in mind i never charge overnight and i don't use my phone when it is charging. The 11 pro max battery is so sensitive and not as good as apple said it would be. My battery goes down so fast compared to 2 weeks ago. I see problems with this phone since the 2nd week i got it.

My iPhone 11 Pro has also been overheating lately. It’s not hot to the point that I can’t use it, but it doesn’t feel comfortable for my hands/fingers. I recently took my phone to the Apple store and they ran tests and said that’s it’s normal. Unless your phone pops up the message saying too hot to use they aren’t going to replace or do anything about it
