IT IS NORMAL FOR AN IPHONE 11 TO GET TOO HOT?

But it's not even being used, all apps are closed and yet its still almost too hot to hold........I'm not happy with it at all.

Surely, the phone should get so hot you can't hold it?

Never happened with my 8

If you haven't already, try these two troubleshooting methods. Perform a Restore only if a Restart doesn't solve your issue. After a Restore, expect the phone to work extra hard for a while, but then it should stabilize. If you use a case, you might try taking it off, too - cases make summer ambient temperatures worse.

Unless you see this screen, it is not OVERheating.

It is quite normal for electronics to get quite warm under heavy CPU or graphics use, or when charging.

This is possibly because you have many background apps running. Double click the home button or swipe up the. Hole, depending on if you have a home button or not. Then, swipe up the separate windows to close them. It will quit the app, so save any progress before doing so. Each app’s processes will get turned off when you do so.

This reply is a misleading, nonsense rebuttal. Quite normal? How about more context? Okay, here ya go. I am on my SECOND replacement for my new iPhone11. It is not "officially overheating" in Apple terms, as in, the warning is not coming up on the screen saying it needs to cool down. However, this is my 4th iPhone, 11th Apple device. My iPhones 4, 5, and 7 never had this issue whatsoever, but I did once see that warning on my 7 when I was sitting outside on a sunny day in San Francisco.

Before calling support to request ANOTHER replacement device (second replacement,) I did my own testing across the two 11's and my iPhone7. I set my original iPhone11 - purchased online, picked up in store, next to my first replacement iPhone11 (express shipped to me,) next to my trusty iphone7. I downloaded the same 12 apps. I opened all the apps on all the phones and made sure all three device had up to date software . I opened a Safari and went online to run streaming video on all three and switched off between streaming videos on a Safari page and YouTube videos. Within less than - literally - 11 minutes BOTH iPhone11s were way too hot to handle. No one wants a new phone that gets this hot. Regardless of a "warning." None of the devices were plugged in and charging. All of the devices were connected to wifi with strong connections. The iPhone7 remained COOL, completely. All three devices were set on a bamboo mat on top of a cool granite (stone) countertop, inside in 68 degrees Fahrenheit and kept playing for over 20 minutes.

It is staggering how bad the iPhone11 is with this lack of temperature control. Within 11 minutes it was clear to me that I can't hold my phone for long, so there goes using my phone while waiting for a flight, while waiting in line, while wanting to chat or Skype or FaceTime or do research. Apple should reconsider their return policy if they want happy customers. I am absolutely furious I paid full price for a device of this quality. Anyone else experiencing this temperature control issue where your iPhone11 is too hot to handle, especially along the right side, across the bottom front and entire backside, should be their own advocate and call support and raise heck. This is complete bs, plain and simply, the iPhone11 does not work properly. Considering THREE iPhone11s have the same issue, clearly Apple screwed up here - and consumers are the only ones paying for it.

Unfortunately, YES. I've now had three iPhone11s in hand and tested all three side by side with a 7 and one other 11. This forum won't get you anywhere, I recommend calling and reporting your issue to support until you reach a Senior Advisor. I received two replacement devices in an attempt to resolve the temperature control issue and none of the devices perform adequately. Too hot to handle. Not worth the money or time spent on the phone with support. Be sure to report this to service and be your own advocate.

Whenever I start playing PUBG mobile game on my iPhone 11 it’s get too much if it’s hot that’s alright but it’s get too much hot even my brightness be full but screen light from inside goes down and I don’t really be able to the screen properly the brightness be full but the screen light goes down so can you help me for that please and sometime I don’t even play game I use it for 3 to 4 mins and it gets hot.

Like my iPhone every day

It is normal for devices to get hot when it is overworked, but there is a limit in which you should stop, and wait until it cools down.

but without charging three times a day and it turns off, also when I'm driving and using the gps it turns off and leaves me without location

My phone has been getting very hot while charging and it just overheated. What could be causing this? How do I fix it?

My iPhone 11 has been getting very hot for the past week with very light usage. Unless I turn it off it gets too hot to hold. Ridiculous

Why my iPhone XR is too hot and i was talking with my friend it is interrupted, without charging is too hot and overheat.

Same with mine. It is so irritating. I had another iPhone 11 before this one and it never got hot like this.

Why did you have to replace your first iPhone11?
