iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

My iPhone 12 is doing the same thing. Hot and loses all its charge within 2 hours even if I power it off. My back camera also stopped working. Tried resetting the phone and that didn’t help. Such a bummer! I should know better than to buy a new phone model right when it comes out.

O2 UK mobile phone provider not much help, return the phone and we will send out a new one, not really A. going to know when it will arrive as have no phone B. unable to transfer Bluetooth way to the new device & C. some apps like banking need the old phone so can scan QR code to login to new phone banking app.

The phone randomly overheats it is really hard to pin it down, can play a football game on the phone not an issue, use it for bit of emails, social media, app banking etc, could cook a steak on it

I wonder if there is some build quality issue here where there is something that is causing high resistance and heat in the circuit.

As for my battery drain, I noticed that my battery drains extremely when it is in 5G network. Even if I just select 4G only. It might be that Auto 5G is broken.

Hey everyone i bought a iphone 11 when i played cod mobile my phone used to heat up like a heater, i deleted the game now the phones just fine! To fix this issue. Head over to settings >> scroll down find battery >> press it and see which app is using more battery ! And if its a built in app then just reset the settings. If its a downloaded app delete the app and reset the settings and re download it again ( reset settings wont delete personal files just walpaper applied to ur phone amd wifi passwords thats all) this worked for mine !

Same issue with the iPhone 12 Pro. Just set up it up last Thursday and today it’s very hot and battery is depleting rapidly. Tried all the proposed solutions, still same results. Need help from Apple, quick!

I am having serious overheating issues with My iPhone 12 pro which I received just 3 days back.

also charging cycle is behaving very weird. Someone please throw some light on this as all my chargers as well as cables are original Apple Products.

Same issue here.

Got the 12 pro today, set it up to transfer all data form my 10X, 15 minutes later playing with the Camera it is still really hot, to the point I had to put it down off my hand, went to check my 10X and it is cool as a pickle, definitely really bad start.

Wont be surprised if we get a recall at some point it this persists, overheating is not something to play with.

Possible solution!! I was having the overheating problem as well, couldn’t get ATT on the phone so I started a chat with Apple. Long story short, I was instructed to reset all settings, let it reboot, then turn it off and let it sit for 20 min. I did, turned it back on, it burned hotter than it ever had for another 30 minutes and now it’s fine. No overheating issues. Fingers crossed that it’s a permanent fix.

FWIW- I’ve had the phone since Saturday afternoon. I transferred everything phone to phone when I set it up and it ran hot just sitting doing nothing (not on a charger) until I cleared the settings. If this didn’t work, I was advised to reset EVERYTHING (blow away all data) and set up the phone as new. If that didn’t fix it, I’d have to have gone through ATT support to obtain a replacement. Hope this helps people!

I have the same issue with overheating. The screen will dim if I’m gaming but I don’t mind that. It’s the flicker that gets me. I’ve turned off background app refresh and I tend to clear other apps when I’m gaming. This has never happened when I’m using the 11 pro max. And yes, battery life is not like what Apple claimed. I will always have my charger near when I’m at work. Something that I never have to worry before on previous models. Now I have to charge at around 4 or 5pm latest. If not I’ll have around 8% by 7pm and that is not ideal when I’m still outside.

blow all the data away in my opinion should not be an apple fix, everything is in the iCloud so it is able to be restored back to a new phone, having to set up from scratch in my opinion is just not an option

Completely agree.

have the phone for less than a day and I feel I downgraded my 10X, battery is worse than my 80% max capacity on the 10, the new (old iPhone 5) design is surprisingly worse, and I was thrilled to see it is back, but practically it’s less comfortable in my hand and way way more slippery, and to top it with the fact the phone get overheat for no reason at times is enough for me to probably return it and get on older models for half the price.

giving it another day and

Hello,

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 12 Pro, except it is overheating in the inductive charger in my 2020 BMW. The phone shuts down with about two hours of charing. I do not think it is a software issue, as I have turned off all apps and the issue persists. It is a hardware issue.

$2 trillion dollar company and they are releasing phones that have issues, i love apple products, my iPhone 6s (previous) had non of these issues at all, that has now died, so have no option of going back to it, I really do hope apple fix the issue

3rd time posting and 3rd time getting in touch with support. Now they ran diagnostics and battery check and found “no” issues but they know there are issues bc before, they wouldn’t even do that.

Now they asked if the phone was LEAKING FLUID or IT LOOKED SWOLLEN!!?!

Very very concerning and I jokingly said, I’ll let you know if it catches fire and they said please tell them right away if that happens.

hope this 12pro isn’t going to be Samsung type of recall with this. Powering down and rebooting helped a little but even typing this with nothing else running, the phone is warming up!

Just don't know why some of you are having this issue. The iPhone 12 my partner has, has been streaming music for the last hour and the phone is running as cools as it could. There's another person in my office who got iPhone 12 on launch day. He plays video games (mostly candy crush) ALL DAY LONG and his phone is running as cool as our iP 12 runs.

Have you force closed all Apps, then performed a Forced Restart on your phone since you've been experiencing overheating? If you haven't, you definitely should.
