iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

So looking at my battery usage it says that 84% of it is coming from the notes app. Yikes. Obviously I am not spending hours a day using the notes widget so something is wrong there. A quick google showed others are having the same issue.

Yeah, I’m no longer in set up mode. I’ve had the phone for a couple days and I’m just watching YouTube. Phone actually gave a warning and stop working because it said it was too hot. I did have it plugged to a charger while using it, but that never caused any problems before with the X.

I am having the same issue too - I tried to narrow down the cause of it by turning off WIFI, mobile data, and then switching to airplane mode one by one. The phone cools down slightly but my camera flash/torchlight remains disabled due to the heat), and only completely cools down when I... turn off the phone.

i had overheating today (monday) after getting phone on 23rd.

I had it fully charged.

Done a WhatsApp call that person had not answered

Been using messages, telegram and Skype

Notification sounds started to become distorted with a buzz to them

and I was getting a lot of typing keyclick sounds that did not belong to correct app.

I thought I would just play a music track to see if that was distorted or not.

NO sound came out of speakers, No devices connected (other than watch)

Tried several different tracks with same result of no sound. Even at max volume.

At this point I noticed rear top of phone getting very hot.

I restarted iPhone and afterwards it was ok but something is amiss

I’m mot running background apps and it’s been 4 days and still overheating. I’m not running anything while charging (it is really bad then). Makes it difficult to use - hoping a resolution comes soon. I called support and was transferred to assurion.

Same problem here. UGH. This is why I don't get new phones LOL. Had no issues with my 6s that I have been using for the last 5 years. Decided it was time. Can't believe I spent $1500 on a piece of crap. Should have known better. :(

Check and see if it’s the notes app. It was using 85% of my battery power in the background, despite refresh being turned off for it. Talked to support today and the temporary solution seems to be turning off ALL background refreshes. Clearly a glitch that I hope gets fixed on the next update...

My 12 pro was also running hot. I went to settings, battery and found Waze was on for many hours in the background. I went to settings, general, background app refresh and turned it off and it seems to be running better now. See if you have an app running in the background. I assume Waze or other apps will update for this IOS.

I was experiencing the same thing! When I went to the camera app, it told me my flash is disabled because of overheating after setting up my phone. But when I’m charging my phone, the phone gets abnormally warmer then my other previous iPhones I have had which is weird. It feels like it’s going to overheat again when I’m charging it. I’m getting a replacement and I am hoping it won’t be the same issue.

No, sadly I didn’t go through Apple because I would have to wait a week for my appointment. I went through my cell phone provider and they were able to get me a next day shipping for the replacement. I haven’t received it yet. It’ll be here tomorrow

I haven't used Waze in months because of a CarPlay issue with Waze (it locks car volume control to "prompt volume control" instead of music). But I just checked battery usage and Waze 39% battery usage just for background activity when I haven't used it...

I have had the iPhone 12 pro for 4 days now and i don’t see it getting extremely hot but I do feel it getting noticeably hot all the time even when I’m simply using one or two apps. I don’t know what to expect when I do something more complicated. Apple if you could please reach out I don’t think this is normal

Yes had the same issue. No overheating while setting up the phone or charging, but playing a basic game on fios WiFi, the phone and especially the metal rims got so hot so quickly, it was hard to hold without a case. Not great at all as my 11pro had no issues. Also, the screen isn’t very sensitive to touch and I’ve been having issues.

I pre-ordered the iPhone 12. It did get a little warm while setting it up. But it has continued to be very hot while I charge it, and I don’t have a wireless charger. I’ve just been using the same chargers I was using for my previous iPhone 11. I just took my phone off the charger, it was charging for about an hour, And when I went to go pick it up it was so hot I could barely touch it.

I have purchased IPhone 12 few days back. I noticed that it gets overheated while charging.

Sometimes I find my phone warmer even when it’s locked and aim doing nothing!

Not sure what may be the problem!

Can anyone please suggest me an answer?
