iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

i agree that is very disappointing as far as the overheating issue. I certainly expect more for the cash you are laying down. Plus I have seen very little response, on a public level, from Apple.

I think they were pretty up front with the charger and packaging changes, with the idea of reducing their carbon footprint.

it would have been nice if they would have mentioned that you could use the old cord and device, but perhaps I just missed it.

at the end of the day those are small items compared to the overheating issue.

I shouldn’t have to remove apps (which I’ve done) or manipulate my phone to get it to “be ok” .

They really need to sort it out and fix it.

Also I find it interesting the verbal battles going back and forth on the forums between those who have had a problem and those who have not. Please give those who have had overheated phones the benefit of the doubt and if you haven’t had an issue (which a portion of my extended family falls into), count your lucky stars.

well put.

i have done the same as well and it seems ok for now, however i still now have no faith that it will not cause a accident,

p.s. the last time i replied on this forum Apple changed my wording as Negative 😳

Same problem here. Phone gets extremely hot and auto dims the screen despite auto dim being switched off in both display settings and accessibility settings. So in summary my phone auto dims constantly and seems to accompany a hot phone.

Phone display dims to below 50% despite being set to maximum brightness. No this is not auto brightness. Whenever phone cools normal operation resumes. My iPhone 12 Pro Max overheats in under 60 seconds using Google Nest.

My phone just turn off because was overheated, and the problem was not the charger ,because i used the same charger the whole week! i bought the iPhone 12 pro max last week because my son wanted upgrade his phone and we got the bogo promotion! That's my first iPhone , and i am very disappointed ! Probably i will return the iPhone and back to samsung!! iPhone has too many issues. Its ridiculous a $1200 phone doesn't come with charger!!!

This is the exact issue I’ve been experiencing. I have had the phone since it’s release (12 pro max) and it has been fine up until yesterday. It heats up when doing the most menial of tasks, even to the point where I have to put the phone down to cool. Seriously not impressed as I dropped over $2k (NZD) into this phone. I hope to hear soon what this issue is and how to resolve it.

I’ve had my iPhone 12 mini going on a month now and it is over heating as well. I say ‘overheating’ because I’m pretty sure the phone has heat going through it because it’s running and there are a lot of moving parts but the phone is hot to the touch. I believe if I was to let it sit on my skin it would definitely burn my skin badly. Luckily, I don’t have this issues with the new iPad Air

It does come with a charger(wire) but it doesn’t come with the wall adapter(plug in) everyone seems to have a problem with the phone getting hot while charging and while simply using the phone it’s self

You assertion "other phones don't need air to cool" is false and completely wrong. ANY activity that drives a Lithium iON battery to work harder, which running a video for an hour surely does, makes the battery work harder, causing heat. This is the physics of batteries and completely normal. When you deny the device air movement, such as putting it under a pillow causing the heat to build up further is most unwise and honestly potentially DANGEROUS.

I hope NO ONE tries your not very wise experiment. It is not a measure of anything and in fact could cause harm to peoples phones or even cause something worse if they do this.

Thank you, I will. I already have a case number from my last call with Apple Support. So aI’ve already been in contact with Apple Support directly. That’s why I’m so upset - they told me the software update would fix the problem. It did not.

Youre argument is irrelevant and childish. The phone is not perfect but the majority of the users at not buying it just for 5G. And the only time it get hot while using it was on Call of Duty. Other demanding games like Genshin Impact runs smoothly. In every day use the 5G does not heat my phone.

So read the post correctly next time.

My boyfriend got me it yesterday and I went to put it on charge I always make sure to close all apps down when I’m done for the day with my phone, I put it on charge and within 2 minutes it started heating up quite badly without me even using it I’m too scared to leave it on charge for a certain amount of time just incase it overheats.

I’m having the exact same issue with my 12 Max pro. Not so much as when I set it up but once it is placed on charge it instantly becoming roasting hot. I never let my phones overcharge and try to charge it as little as possible but it always seems to overheat every time it’s plugged in

I'm having overheating problems as well. I've had my 12 pro max for a little over 2 weeks and the overheating is still ongoing. Not everyday, but enough to have me concerned. The heating happens sporadically so I'm not sure what the cause is.

The phone will shut down certain functions as it heats and will finally shut itself down before it becomes hot enough to cause injury.

Few things use as much CPU and graphics power as FaceTime so some heating is to be expected.
