Overheating issues on iOS 13.5

So I updated to iOS 14 beta and I’ve been using it for almost 2 weeks now and I can confirm that on my iPhone XS Max, the overheating issue has been resolved. I use it on my daily driver and Yes there are a few bugs but nothing dealbreaking. It has been stable with everything I do. In case you guys want, you can give it a try. Also make sure to make a encrypted backup first, just in case if you want to return to iOS 13 :)

I read this on reddit.... Turn off “optimized battery charging.” It appears to work for me.

Me too, overheating on iPhone 8 after updates to 13.5. Now just update to 13.6 and hopefully the issue is now fixed.

I'm still having the same this end. I backed up my XS and re-installed 13.5.1. It's better but it's not perfect. It still has it's moments especially when I'm in Safari. I removed Twitter and very carful in FB. If you still have warranty then I would go see Apple and ask them for advice.

I currently have the same issue on my iPhone SE (1st gen). Scary how much the thing heats up for just doing Facebook browsing, emails, Snapchat etc. Operating conditions are ambient room temperature.

It basically made my phone inoperable as performance really has fallen significantly where nearly all my apps (including Settings) were crashing, forcing me to restart the system nearly every 10 or so minutes.

Luckily I identified that I have a system backup on iCloud so I tried a full system reset (wiping all content and settings and reloading iOS from within the phone), with success. However, this seems to have partially fixed the performance issue, but the heat is still there.

In hope to get over 13.5, I also have tried loading the Beta release of iOS 13.6. The public profile loaded, but had little luck in actual downloading the OS overnight :-(

Certainly very frustrating indeed...

I'm going to see how it goes over the next few days. For now, the SE will live out of its case.

I feel your pain. My XS has been doing the same since 13.5. Just login in the join this conversation has the temperature to high to hold comfortably. The worry thing is I’m running a Beta version of ios14 and it’s still bad. If I were you I’d have Apple swap that 11 Pro as it’s unlikely there’ll be a fix.

What about Face ID is it working or not?

I’ve never been entirely happy with ios13 although 13.3.1 was stable. Try deactivating dark mode, it might help. I’ve also turned off Siri, Bluetooth and location services.

Why indeed. Yes you’re right of course. A £1000 (UK) and here I am deactivating areas of the phone I shouldn’t need to. I’m doing to see what happens. Siri for instance is always listening in the background which will only add the those battery drain issues.

anyway let’s see.

To be fair it’s not just Safari, it’s anything that requires processor load. My XS calmed down during the week but I’ve noticed it getting hot again. I’ve deactivated everything from Siri to location services and removed Twitter and all news apps. I’ve also deactivated iCloud Drive. Forget using Maps, my phone would probably melt if I attempted that not to mention the sheer battery drain that comes with the rise in temperature.

It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful device but it’s currently not fit for purpose and the sad thing is, Apple won’t or can’t do anything about it ...

Hello and ditto here since 13.6 for my iPhone XR and iPad 6th gen. using original and new (authentic) Apple cord and adapters (and via my iMac). I see that today there's an update 13.6.1, so perhaps that will help. Never had the problem before.

Heating issue on iOS 13.5 , upgrade each time new version is available, last update was yesterday to 13.6.1. Heating problem still persist when playing game of ToonBlast, jigsaw puzzle .... Or using Zoom. I recalled heating problem first get started when playing ToonBlast for more than an hour. Not sure if it is the cause of heating malfunction.

IOS 13.5 renders my “Xs max” practically useless, I can no longer play asphalt 9 for no more than 10 minute bouts as I now have to give the phone a rest in order for it to cool down to safe levels, I’m not sure on the temperature my phone reaches with the 10 minutes of gameplay but it is very uncomfortable to the touch, I can only describe it as my phone is literally baking. I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER ANYMORE
