iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

For the past two days my iPhone 12 Pro has been getting hot randomly. I searched this concern up and found this forum thankfully, and to know I’m not the only one. I feel the heat even more actually because I’m going caseless. Sucks that a brand new “pro-flagship” phone has overheating issues—and it’s not like the batteries grew from the previous gen, ironically, they reduced the mAh level. I could be a happier customer honestly.

Just received an iPhone 12 , everything working fine for the first day, noticed though that when I put to charge(using the new 20w USB-c apple charger) the iPhone 12 gets like unnecessarily hot, I would think it would be fine but I’ve never gotten my previous phone (iPhone 8) thus hit before. I would just like to know if this is happening to anyone else too or did I get a bad product?

Hi guys, my phone is heating up very quickly after using it for a couple minutes. I just got my phone a couple days ago and I’m not sure if there is anything we can do about this problem. Any suggestions? I paid too much for this to occur. Thank you

I bought even the adaptor and i have the same problem ... i have 12 pro and today the camera gets blocked when I’ve tried to take a picture... the quality of pictures it’s horrible ... from the second day i Thought that’s just my phone like this and I’ve called the Apple 3 times to complain ... tomorrow I’ll return it and ask another one in change to see if it’s any difference ... 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am having the same issue. I was just on a call for 4:22 and the ear piece area was getting very warm. The phone was not plugged in and I had a full charge. Not sure what's going on but I will say I am getting good battery life.

Experiencing the same. I just got it last week and it gets pretty toasty just reading up on the news, and dismal charging or charging-life. The extra life is one reason why I traded up. I have the iPhone 12.

I received my iPhone 12 pro today. During set up and after it continues to run quite hot. Like the other person that is what brought me to this forum. I'm going from an iPhone 8 directly to an iPhone 12 pro. I am definitely saving mine hey as a back up since this is a very early run of this model.

Not all of us “just browse through Instagram” and as someone who does mostly get on “web pages full of text”, the same issue still applies.

Even if I was though, it still does not take away from the fact that it is happening routinely.

Just received my iPhone 12 yesterday. I’m using it now just checking out social media and Google. It’s hot in my hand. Has a full charge. Not what I bargained for with a brand new phone. May send it back!

Hello, i hav bought iphone 12pro on releasing date..on the same day my phone was overheating and i retuned it to the store i got replaced with a new phone but its also having the same problem...i dint expect this...

Phone sat off the charger all night. Open it up and scroll Instagram for 2 minutes and it’s over heated....unbelievable.

i had this routine with the IPhone X and never once had this problem. I think I want to return this phone, which sucks!

I went back to my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It’s bigger but I can’t complain about the excellent battery life. I think it was more curiosity than necessity that pushed me to try the iPhone 12 Pro. I definitely prefer the design and form factor of the 12. I may pick one up later. I’m just taking my time and reading up on the issues people are flagging on the 12.

I wonder whether I should just give up on the phone and take it back. I have been given the option of getting a new 11 pro but have to start a new contract all over again. It's awful to be faced with this decision and it's one I have to decide in a couple of days since there is the 14 day return policy. To have a phone and be excited about it and now this. I wonder what Apple thinks or if they even know this is an issue since I saw a rating of 4 out of 5 positive for the phone. So disappointed.

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.

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!
