iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

I also am experiencing overheating and battery issues. Using apple CarPlay yesterday, phone charged to 100% and didn't use it at all last night. This morning, battery level at 10%. Any fixes out there?

I have had my iPhone 12 pro since Saturday. I noticed the overheating today, when it was in my pocket.....not being used and with all apps closed. Seems odd to spend so much money on something that is overheating so quickly. My other iPhones have never done this. And I noticed that it burned through the battery while doing so as well. I’m almost out of charge where when I arrived here 4 hours ago it was 3/4 full.

I just bought an iPhone 12 2 days ago and observed right away that the phone’s heating up a lot faster even when I’m just browsing or doing Facebook. It also heats up fast when charging which is not normal for me as I haven’t experienced this on older iPhone models. What could be the issue?

Same here. My 12 max pro just arrived. The only thing I’ve done is transfer data from my old iPhone. The buttons are fire hot. I know it’s made of surgical steel. Maybe that’s why but still doesn’t seem right.

why do you buy new phones every year? do you have any idea how bad that is for the environment?

This poster owes you no reason for why they choose to get a new phone every year. They could be a champion of green causes and use solar power for their home, and recycle things responsibly for all you know. It's really none of your business why anyone chooses to buy anything anytime.

I am also having the same issue. Ever since the first day I got the iPhone 12 pro it always feels like it burning up. It does it when I’m also not even using it. I’ll have the phone in my pocket and I can feel the heat through my pants. It makes me very nervous. These phones are expensive and I don’t feel like I should be having this issue at all and especially right from the first day of having the new phone.

I have had the same issue of my new iPhone 12pro overheating. It happened today during a FaceTime with my mom. We were only about 10 mins into the face time and the back of my phone was very hot. I did have YouTube and safari browser running as I didn’t close them down before the FaceTime. I hope apple fixes this problem as it should not be heating up that quickly.

As of yesterday my iPhone didn’t keep charge was fully charged when I woke up by 9 am was completely dead.

and while charging my phone is completely hot and been charging now for 8 hours and I’m only at 77% charged.

what should I do at this point? I’ve not even had this phone a week yet.

There IS WARM and there is HOT. Guess you realize the difference between the two. Also there is a normal temperature range (I dont know, I speculate under 40C) and abnormally hot. HOT is what most of us are experiencing I assume. The problem arises during various usage scenarios - charging, downloading content, gaming etc...

ALL OF THESE CASES CAUSE ABNORMAL TEMPS while just USING THE PRODUCT.

Hello, I got my Iphone 12 max pro couple weeks ago and I am having problem overheating. Soon I transfer my info from the old phone to new one, I began using the phone right away after everything was transfer. Experience it heating up right away, I need to wait till cool off so I can use the phone again. I don't feel secure.

Hi there,

I am about to send my brand new iPhone 12 phone back to replace it with an 11 as not only does it overheat all the time, it makes a clicking noise. Also I have noticed that it struggles to play you tube videos and speed up, but super fast. It’s so disappointing as I’m coming from the 8 plus. Never a good move to buy the first batch! Good luck to anyone else having issues. Hopefully it will be resolved soon!

So besides all the other BS issues (heating, screen not responding, etc; we lost power for about an hour today and with all my other iPhones, it will go straight to 4/5G and although slow, the phone will work fine and I can still make calls. Immediately after this new 12pro lost all bars and I couldn’t place calls or anything anything else. I have Verizon 5G fios and I could not roam nor go onto 5 or 4G. I live in a remote area and I’m on top of a hill with nothing else around me. Dealt with no WiFi for 3 months with the Woosley fire and today was worse. Even with every fios underground line and power line being burned to the ground, I could still get slow access with my 10 and 11. For this reason alone, I’m returning this phone and going back to my 11pro. I’m past the 2 week return (bought the first weekend) so I’ll take the hit to buy the new phone but this is the worst apple product I’ve ever had. For emergency reasons alone, this phone is terrible.

Has there been any offered solution to the overheating and will not hold a charge? It is very frustrating that it has to be charged every few hours. It loses battery life quickly and it won’t even have been used.

I have the same issue while i see the usage of the apps are comparatively very low . This overheating issue is not once or twice or at the time i charge the phone . I believe this to be a design fault with hardware.

Just bought mine today, all content and apps are done transferring and downloading, now heating up! Battery life seems fine, but can't figure out why it's overheating. Same settings as previous phone which did not overheat except occasionally while it was charging. :(
