iOS 13.6 overheating and battery drain issues

I have an iPhone SE 2nd gen and I’ve been experiencing surprisingly hot temperatures and performance issues. I tested it in Geekbench a few days ago and got a CPU score of 1321 and today I got 789. I don’t know if this is because of the later iOS builds . However when using 13.5.1 I got great performance. And long battery life.

Could this be just my iPhone or are others experiencing this as well?

I have had the overheating problem on 3 of my family iPhones using iOS 13.6 with all apps up to date. In our case it was the Google Maps app that was causing the phone to overheat and drain the battery as described by others. Deleted the app and the iPhones now run cold and battery usage back to normal. I have nothing against the Google Maps but perhaps the current version is doing something it shouldn't. Try this solution for yourselves.

No.

my phone isn’t getting hot at all and i don’t even use it in the sunshine...

I got it checked through apple support, they said that there is nothing wrong with the battery.
