Overheating issues on iOS 13.5

I have been experiencing overheating on my iPhone 11 Pro Max after the iOS 13.5 update even with minimal usage (eg. Safari web browsing). Anyone else having this issue as well?

This is so annoying with so many of us suffering this silly issue. The iPhone X had problems in 2017 so it’s not a recent thing.


Unfortunately you can’t go back to a previous iOS. Although it would help us, for the bigger audience probably not. Apple would have a situation similar to Android with people running a mish mash of outdated Software which would cause more problems.

I have an IPhone X and since I updated it to 13.5.1 it overheats to the point i cannot touch it. I have tried everything all of the suggestions I have even reset it twice now to factory settings… To no avail! Almost afraid to charge it thinking it’s going to catch fire....not sure what else to do I’m in a normal climate indoors – not too hot not too cold very comfortable home, nothing extreme...

Not sure how else to correct the problem and our Apple stores where I live are all closed still… Has anybody had any luck correcting the problem?


Apple, do you plan on fixing this problem anytime soon…??

Oh great, so even the new phones are having the same problem?


Apple, this is not making me want to upgrade and I was planning on doing that this week.


my 7 is overheating to the point where it burned my hand and the skin was sensitive to the touch for several days. This is not safe.


I'm using it in an air conditioned house, temp is in the low to mid 70s. It overheats even in low power mode, does not matter if it’s plugged in.

My new iPhone 11 Pro Max arrived today. The phone is getting hot Especially when Charging. Very warm to the touch while using it briefly. And gets hot when I tried to charge it. This has apparently been a problem for a year based on earlier posts. I would like to know why it happens on first day and what Apple is doing about it.


since I just got it today and activated it today the reset option is a mute point
