Overheating issues on iOS 13.5

I am experiencing the same thing. At first i thought it was just the new charger i bought (The New Apple Charger and Adapter, the USB-C to Lighting one) but find it’s runs hot even when not plugged in.

Starting to think it’s iOS 13.5

Same hear. iOS 13.5 has introduced significant overheating issues on my iPhone 11Pro Max which have never happened to me ever before.

Phone is overheating and shutting down repeatedly. Battery charging may be effected as well due to overheating.

i also have this issue with my iPhone XS max it overheats fast and will heat up so fast the phone automatically turn the screen brightness down and it wont run most intense games now.

how they fix it soon

Same problem with iOS 13.5 and iphone XS Max. Overheating is most noticeable on back of phone near the apple logo and camera module. bottom half of phone is not as hot. Not ambient temp issue, in temp controlled house. Rebooted phone today, but heat issues persists.

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.

I'm having the same issue. During normal usage, in ambient temps of 65 degrees or so iPhone heats up to where I can hardly hold it. I close all apps, have background data refresh turned on, on only a handful of apps and it gets blistering hot. Yesterday, I wasn't even using it after closing all my apps and it started to burn (no, not seriously) my leg in my pocket. When I looked, it had drained the battery by nearly 30% in the last half hour without any usage. Monitoring my usage patterns (comparing my Week over Week screen time usage) I'm getting about half the battery life I normally do and the temp (both on the screen side and back side) is extremely concerning. So hot that I wouldn't dare let a child play with my phone. The Week over Week comparisons are important, as I only updated my software 3 days ago.

This is happening to my 11 pro. I have even gotten errors that the phone can’t be used until it cools down, this is new with the 13.5 and 13.5.1 updates. Normal usage in an air conditioned room. It is scary.

I’m having the same issue. I thought it was just the hot weather but today it’s 18° and I’m only running a few apps. My phone overheated to the point of the screen automatically dimming. My battery drains way faster now too. The temperature of my phone is at 42°!!!

I’ve been noticing my phone getting abnormally hot over the last week or so. It has nothing to do with ambient temperatures. My house is running between mid 60s over night to a high of 76 during the day.

I continuously shut all open apps but that has no effect.

In pure frustration I decided to jump on the developer programme. I’m running iOS 13.6. Little has changed sadly and I’m still experiencing sudden hotspots and general heat build up. Forget using Facebook and Twitter or any other power hungry app. It’s funny because not so long ago it was all about battery drain which is still there but now overshadowed by the overheating.

Shame as I like my Xs but if it continues into iOS14 I’ll bail out from Apple.

I took my XS to the Apple Store today and they said they'd never heard of the heating problem. They offered to have a look at the device which I agreed to but of course, they found nothing.

A word of warning here. When they remove the case the seal doesn't get replaced rendering your phone no longer ip68 water tight. Thanks Apple.

The last couple of days I notice my IPhone 11 heating up just with normal use. Checking email, browsing the web, and watching podcasts. I just upgraded to the new iOS around that same time. I am in 77 degree room that has AC. It was not doing this before the update but is now.

Yes, I've got into a pickle with this heat problem too. 13.3.1 was fine (for iOS13) but then came 13.5 and "boom" the heat started. From there I quickly went back to 13.4 and no joy. I then downloaded 13.5.1 and still no joy. When 13.6 arrived I jumped on it, what did I have to lose. After two days it started heating up again, bugger. It was then I thought I might as well jump on the iOS14 Beta program. The first beta was pretty bad but I waited and Beta 3 was better. We still had heat but it wasn't burning. Then came Beta 4 which was full of bugs and more heat for me so I went back to 13.6. Yeah we had heat with those simple tasks. Forget using Safari, - way too hot with the crazy battery drain following close behind.

I then then jumped on 13.6.1 and seriously, no change. I reset my phone and downgraded to 13.6 and I still have a warm phone but haven't experienced the burning yet although I use the phone with caution and dare not mess beyond 60 seconds.

Phew ... That's my journey so far and what a crock it is too. For a £1000 phone I expect better.

Same problem is happening for me. iPhone 11 Updated to 13.7, nothing. reset carrier settings, nothing. I live in Alaska my rooms ambient temp is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Daily temp 49degrees. No warnings from the phone yet but I have to catch it and manually cool it with my vehicle ac. Or a wrapped cold pack. When it heats up its almost too hot to touch.

Same issue with my iPhone XS Max. Normal usage like web browsing using safari, opening weather app and similar non-intensive stock apps or other ight apps. Phone just heats up so much. :(
