Overheating issues on iOS 13.5

I too eagerly updated the iOS 13.5.1 on my iPhone XS Max but no use . Because of overheating my Face ID is not functioning and moreover battery got drained very fastly.

I myself feel very bad after all buying such a world costliest phone which costs more than my one and half months salary . Even neither they do free service or free replacement.

I think apple can’t do anything for us . In this situation god only can help us.

Yes, exact same situation here. I purchased iPhone 11 Pro Max on first day of release...have never experienced this issue before until latest iOS update. Phone would continue to cut off calls, give overheating warning and instantly shut down.

This has been a nightmare for me. All of my stores here are closed due to pandemic and riots, etc, so I couldn't get any help. Here's what I did to fix this:

After completely wiping my phone (after backing it up), I set it up as a new device first (don't connect with iCloud). It was still running hot, and it would not charge. After messing with it for a while, I just let it sit overnight (not charging) and let it completely drain the battery. The next morning, I plugged the phone back in, it charged, did not overheat.

After I was happy with it not getting hot, I decided to wipe the phone again (keep in mind, I still had not logged back into iCloud), and then set it up, again, but this time restoring from my latest backup. Everything loaded within a few hours, and I've still not had any issues with it since. We're now on day two, and it's running fine - better, actually, than before. It's much faster.

Hey everybody I updated to 13.5.1 and it fixed the problem. Seems like Apple didn’t want to acknowledge it bc it just said important security update but my phone stopped running hot after the update.

Same here. Right after 13.5 my XR overheats and battery drains like crazy!! Something is wrong with this update for sure as the device needs charging all the time throughout the day even on light use.

it drains the battery at a rate of 1-2% a minute and it feels very hot to hold.

Some other folks in this thread refer to 13.5.1 as still have this issue. Have you verified it’s solved on your end? I am updating as we speak so my device comes back from **** else I consider broken.

**update**

I am on Developer Beta Profile - iOS 13.5.5 has corrected this issue and my device is back to good working order. Device gets a little warm when being used for the correct reasons (games and such) and the battery lasts me around a day and a half now. Something is coming for a fix if 13.5.1 didn't fix it for you.

It’s sad that this has been the most generally used answer to the issues with our iPhones. It has nothing to do with the temperature. People’s phones are overheating, and the battery life has been terrible since the update.

I too have an XS and I suddenly found it getting quite uncomfortably hot. This was after installing 13.5.

Here’s what I did. Blaming 13.5 I thought going back to 13.4.1 might help but that didn’t work. So I tried re-setting the device and installed 13.5.1. - I felt a fresh install might help after messing around with reversing back.

It was then I discovered something. Whilst browsing in Safari I felt that familiar heat build up once again so I disabled dark mode. It would appear dark mode draws from the processor thus making the battery temperature rise.

Give it a go, it might help.

Why would I turn off these services? It was behaving normally couple of days ago with those services on (except for location services as I always turn them off) .. this is a 1000$ phone (Xs) .. it should have these functions :) .. I will try though out of curiosity :D

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.

Since there is no official word from Apple, we are all just testing things to figure out what the problem may be.

BTW, I updated to 13.5.5 and still experience the overheating... not to the extent that some are experiencing with the warnings but hot to the touch. Also my battery’s maximum capacity has stopped significantly to the overheating. It is at 91% now.

Yes imean on my xs max ios13.5.1 if you open safari and go to news.google.com especially and scroll for just 2min the phone gets crazy warm I guess it’s a safari bug my recommendation would be use alternative browser till ios14 comes out

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 ...

I read on YouTube about how people are looking forward to iOS 14. Seriously, why will that be any better. Apple need to get 13 working before they introduce another round of bugs and problems.

I’ve many friends who use Android and they laugh at us lot with our iOS problems yet I’ve always defended my corner with iPhone but I’m running out of patience now.
