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 ?
Same issue. Got new iPhone 11 Pro.
More than that it's screen is yellow'ish and dull. SE, XR, Macbook Pro screens are brighter and have cold white tint.
It's ridiculous to pay so much money! For what? My SE is better then this new phone! ****.
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.
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?
This also happens to me.
When im playing COD Mobile on high visual effects (not ultra high) the device gets extremely hot, and sometimes it lost the signal of wifi, so the server kicks me out, that's rare because I play with 3 more friends in the same network but i have more speed on the internet than them
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.
I am pretty sure this has to do with the fact that the Pro uses OLED displays versus most modal iPhones use LCD
I had my XS returned for this very reason and got the XR and later the 11 and they both run cool all the time
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.
Yes I received my iPhone 11 day before yesterday and it’s getting way too hot within 1 hour of use . The back of the phone and it’s sides too . I’m scared to even hold it in the hand after knowing about all the disastrous effects as read on internet
is there a recall ??
this needs to be addressed ASAP
Seems I have this problem too. iPhone 11 Pro has been heating up, hot to the touch with light use since I got it 5 days ago. Was navigating with GPS and got an overheat error and the phone was disabled. Had to pull over, pull off the cover, and stick it in front of the A/C until the error screen went away and I could use it again.
HI all,
just wanted to add that my was red hot with WeChat, and now only gets warm during WeChat use and that's occasionally. The latest iOS updates and the actual apps update fixed everything for me.
cheers
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.
Just got my 11 pro a couple hours ago and almost instantly noticed it getting hot. Very sad to see this is “normal” from reading this thread :( it’s uncomfortably hot to hold by how hot it is on the right hand side sometimes.
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
I too have faced same issue It gets abnormally heated at back panel below camera. Even in winter season with i light usage like browsing web, capturing 2-3 pictures, using WhatsApp or any app weather 3rd party or apple ones.
few days back i face another issue my phone get way to hot and it stopped apps to run in background whatever app i opened it had to refresh.
i contacted apple support with the issue they asked me to get it restored i did all necessary step still facing same issue.
I have had this problem. For me, I have not had a very bad battery life intact mine has been great. There is a lot of heat thought when I am not using my device or using a lot of applications. It can get extremely hot. Not sure what to do but if mine gets worse I will replace it.
