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?

I'm actually running iOS14 Beta 3 at the moment and it still gets warm just under the camera lens. I haven't experienced it becoming too hot to hold, yet but it's still not right. My sons new SE2 which I may he watches Netflix on never gets warm so there I am, the proud owner of an XS with most features disabled - Siri - forget using YouTube, Twitter or even Safari etc and stay away from Apple News, too processor dependant.

So one of my friends is experiencing the same problem on an XR - runs hot and no battery life. She took it in to the Apple Store. This time Apple tried to blame her Otterbox case, saying it's not an Apple case so they can't be held responsible. Apple is coaching their service techs to give all these canned answers, which are getting more ridiculous as more people seem to be affected. You have to wonder how many phones are really affected! Is it so many phones that a company as rich as Apple can't afford to do the right thing and replace them? Or is it just that the financial guys have realized they can get away with anything and people will keep buying their products? Given that the latest iOS update didn't seem to help, one has to assume that the damage to the phone is physical and non-repairable, rather than just the usual iOS glitch. I've decided to try to sell mine and will have to decide on which way to go with the replacement.

My phone is overheating as well. I have already replaced one because the side of the phone showed that it was so hot it discolored the casing. This is a dangerous situation. Be aware when phones get hot they can also catch on fire. I think there is something wrong with their batteries. I want a solution or we need to make them find one. I get nervous when my phone is so hot I can’t carry it.
