iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

Hello, dblggogs,

I see that you have an overheating iPhone 12 Pro, Sometimes you will find your device is overheating while charging. You should remove the charger or avoid overcharging it. Sometimes it's the wrong charger and adaptor, and sometimes battery issues may cause an overheating issue. You should be careful while charging it. Also, As we mentioned earlier, Background App Refresh can contribute to your iPhone overheating, So go to Settings and then choose General to make sure it's turned off for unnecessary apps. If it's still too hot, go to the app switcher to see all the apps you've got open. If the problem persists then Contact Apple Support here:

Have a good day,

Hello, I just bought an iPhone 12 today and I seem to be having the same issues. I began using the phone right away after it was set up, to download apps and make it more personalized as we all do, but I did experience it heating up right away, and extremely hot as well. This got me worried which led me to researching and it brought me here. Please let me know if you find a solution! That was too much money to spend on something that overheats in just a few minutes.

Just because the device is warm or even hot doesn't mean it is "overheating."

What makes you think that it is "overheating?"

Specifically when using 5G radios the phone is likely to be warmer than you are used to with past phones.

How can you blame the charger or adaptor when no charger is sent with the device? Running to many apps? Just admit it’s a design flaw.

I too am experiencing overheating with minimal activity such as browsing, playing some games and general phone use. Anyone know of any software bugs out there?

Same. It’s always hot when I’m using it. Not a very inspiring sign.

I’m experiencing the exact same problem bought my new 2 device yesterday tried to charge it with 20w charging slot and it’s overheating I’m worried about it ****🥺

I’ve had many iPhones and Apple products. None of them have been hot after a few minutes of use. It is an obvious difference. It even paused my iCloud download because the phone was too hot.

If there was a notice on-screen, that's one thing; if it's merely warmer than older phones in some circumstances, that's to be expected.

My iphone 12 pro runs hot and has gave me the its too hot then shuts down if I keep using it...

My new iPhone 12 is also overheating. Anybody find a solution?

I just got the 12 and I have that issue when I’m just regularly using it. I’m very disappointed with that as I upgraded from a 7 to a 12 expecting that not to be an issue.

But only using one app for less than 15 minutes (e.g. reading the news) and the device overheating to the point that it’s too hot to touch is not normal. I have been told borh by the reaeller and Apple Support that this device needs to be repaired. I suggest everyone who experience inreasonable overheating woth their iPhone 12 Pro return it to be repaired or replaced. This is surely a manufacturing error, something’s wrong with a batch of devices.

I have had the same issue. Multiple overheating episodes with my iphone 12 pro. Once when I was using (maps app) in an air conditioned car. It was so bad I could not reset the phone and had to take it to the apple store.

Other times, I was able to use the phone after a period of time (less than 10 mins).

I have never had any "overheating" issues with my other iphones (9, 10 and 11).

They perfomed diagnosatics at apple store after one episode of overheating. They could not find an error message confirming overheating when they checked eventhough I brought the phone to the store because I was not able to use it for overheating (3-4 hours after the "overheating" message showed up on my phone).

I travel often for work and am worried if this overheating happens during my trips, making me unable to work. I have asked for help from apple store to replace my iphone 12 pro but they refuse to do so. Not very happy after so many years of loyalty to apple products!
