iPhone XS Max Overheating Issues

Would you recommend me taking my iphone to be check at Apple?


Just purchased the iPhone XS Max in September 2019. It is now March 2020. The phone has been overheating a few times within the last month. It's not an old phone. I just don't want it to possibly explode near me.

Having a weak cellular signal will cause it to get warm, leaving the camera on, and leaving the OLED display on for long periods of time. Go to Settings/Battery and see which apps are using the most energy. There is a rough correlation between energy consumption and temperature. Also check Settings/General/Background App Refresh to see which apps have the option to run in background.

True. However, light usage of the phone shouldn't make it heat up right? Usually its just checking social media for a few minutes before putting it down. When I go back to pick up my phone, its fairly warm sometimes even hot to the touch. I also don't keep any apps opened in the background. I will proceed to restart my phone and even having to take it out of its case to cool down.
