iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

Hi - I just got my iPhone 12 pro max supposedly a trusted brand and I have to face this disturbing problem of over-heating after a brief use. I used the original Apple adaptor and original Apple cable to charge. Can Apple advise on such problem!!! Very irritating since you are either holding in your hand or near your ear/face area. Even my IPhone XS Max and iPhone 11 Pro Max perform better than the latest Apple product IPhone 12 series. Very disappointing!!!

I posted earlier regarding some overheating when streaming youtube using the youtube app on iphone 12 pro max! It happened everytime I used youtube! I went to the app store and clicked on upgrade on youtube app!

problem resolved as I am streaming right now and it’s not overheating anymore!

My iphone 12 pro max 128gb gold Is having same issue.it is over heating for almost all the activities.can i get refund.I am using 20W carger will applied supplied Type C charging cable.I also tried it with mophie wireless charger that i use for iphone xs max it is still over heating.worest thing is i can not connect it to my car and it is not even charging my phone in my car.my car is CADILLAC and this 1569$ phone made my infotainment system worthless.i am going to return this phone if it is not going to compatible with my car i would prefer to have safe journey with google maps in my car rather than i am looking down to my iphone screen to take directions.And my google maps are not rerouting when i miss my way and this issue is not there with my XS MAX.

Could it be the MagSafe charger? I have iPhone 12 Pro Max and no overheating. But while waiting for phone to arrive, I used wireless charger on iPhone X. Spec says you can do use it so gave it a go. Before using MagSafe charger the X had no overheating problems. After using I had overheating when using MagSafe, when using wall charger and sometimes when not charging. Have not used MagSafe charger on new phone!

I also have the iPhone 12 pro, I just picked it up from charging over night( so no apps running at all) and noticed how hot my phone was. I took my case off to see if that would help- it has. I’ve had that case on for about a week and never had this issue. This is the first time I’ve noticed my phone over heating. Will definitely be paying more attention to see if it happens and again and if so contacting Apple.

I also am having issues with overheating (to the point the screen will dim and then turn it off but it stays hot). On pro max 12. Am using all Apple chargers and cords. It heats up ridiculously hot when charging, playing games, listening to music.

I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max and had overheating issues today. I had the Nest app on looking at my cameras and within 5 minutes, the screen came up saying it’s too hot and needs to cool down. The back of the phone was hot to touch. I let it cool down and it works now. Never had this problem with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. I am hoping this is purely a software issue. I use Call Of Duty and Roblox which takes a lot of processing power and have no overheating issues with them. Why only for Nest so far? I hope it’s fixed soon.

I simply don't get what could be going on with so many phones reported here. We have iPhone 12 and now 12 Pro Max. I've had my Pro Max now 4 days. I can stream music for hours, watch YouTube, Charge my Phone on a Qi charger and no heat whatsoever. I have to believe some of you brought something over from your backups you transferred to your phones in the set up process. Also, there are 2 others in my office who now have Pro Max. No heat issues with their phones either. None.

I have the 12 PRO Max and it gets very hot if I charge it with MagSafe and use it, today when I was using FaceTime and charging it with MagSafe it got so hot it was limited to 80% and then it started losing percentage instead

Magsafe is not made to use the mobile while charging. If you want to charge and use the mobile take the 5 watt apple charger. This will prolong battery life and your iPhone will keep cool. Try it out.

One thing that helps is turning off the 5g. The phone charges painfully slow so if you’re a gig job worker this is not the way to go. I’m so effing bumbed that I “upgraded” from the 8plus. This phone is horrible if you have to actually use it

its just 2 days since i bought my iphone 12 pro max and its seems to have a problem of over heating especially when i use instagram. It goes quite hot near the camera and the volume buttons. No background apps running no charger connected no cover and still it gets very heated

My wife and I picked up our pro maxes and immediately running into the same overheating problem. Both when charging and also when normal use like looking at and deleting pictures. It’s crazy hot!! Something this definitely it right

I have a similar problem from day 1. Restored backup on iphone 12 pro and it has been getting warm if used continuously for more than 1 hour - watching video, audio call, internet browsing etc. Also battery is getting drained much faster than anticipated.

Checked the temperature while charging and it goes up to 98 F (back side, screen - 92 F) which is more than body temperature even in room temperature of 80F.

Raised to apple support a couple of time and was referred to service center for detailed diagnostic. At the service center they said everything looks fine - the temperature sensor is not giving any error although while charging it was noticeably warm. IoT is good but can it be relied completely ?

Anyways after putting hours of effort to get this sorted it's status quo for me.

It has been 2 weeks of using the phone but now I am skeptical about the hardware / software causing heating issue now. Didn't plan to buy an insurance but looks like I am being forced to now. Expensive phone became even more expensive !

My flashlight works but it took me a minute to figure out that the two buttons on the pop down screen....one being the flashlight and one for camera...have to be pressed and held for just a bit longer than the buttons on the shortcut screen

I guess I should feel lucky that I’m only overheating when it doesn’t want to charge.
