iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

Unfortunately it gets too hot to handle even during other times, not just with Facetime. In any case, my old iPhone 6S (!) never had any issues with overheating using Facetime for hours on end (or any other time either). It’s just this new device, so there’s something seriously wrong with this new iPhone 12 Pro.

Same iPhone 7 and it didn’t do it till iOS 14 now it dims with auto dim off it gets warm as soon as it cools down it brightens up again apple has sent phone 4 times to Best Buy and one replaced screen and replaced other stuff not sure problem I’m going to fix problem soon I’m going to Samsung s21 and not happy about this not a Samsung fan but it’s my choice to fix a problem I’m done messing with along with battery problems battery at 100% but dies super fast

Same is happening....it is difficult to hold phone with such a hot surface. I had Xs and it was working really good....thought 12 pro gonna be great as well but now feeling it is just a waste of money......I will not suggest any of my friends or family members to buy this trash.....

I’m very sad I just got my phone on January 7th I was so excited to jump from iPhone 8 to the 12 pro. I’ve always had and iPhone and never had a problem my FaceTime flickers and the phone gets hot while charging. The battery runs fast it’s not what I expected I’m currently in the process of fixing the cámara issue my came without the option to record I’m not sure 🤔 if it’s a software issue or the phone simply is not working well.

Switching back to 4G didn’t make any difference. The device is taill too hot to iandlen and hkeeps ******** down functions. And I really don’t see a point of paying for a 5G contract (which I signed up for as I purchased this device) in case I can’t use it!

Interesting. Both of our phones were restored from the backup of our previous iPhones. Again, no heating issues with either phone. The phones will get slightly warm while charging, which is normal and to be expected. My 12 Pro Max has been streaming music for the last hour to my earbuds. It is cool to the touch.

Ungortunately, the second attempt att fixing the overheating problem didn’t work either. This to see if restoring the device to factory settings and setting it up as a new device would resolve the issue. I did all that, as instructed. This device is now running on software version 14.4, but sadly nothing has improved with regard to the overheating and related problems.

I have now been test running this device since the new setup, as instructed by Apple Support. After about 15-20 minutes of just reading a few posts on Facebook, opening two websites on Safari and asking Siri to translate a few sentences, it is now overheating again, getting too hot to hold and starting to do the irritating dimming of the screen. No temperature warning this time either, even though it started to do these “safety” actions in response to the overheating.

Even as I write this message, the device just keeps getting hotter and hotter and I need to put this device down very soon as the heat is uncomfortable snd skready bordering on painful (if I continue holding it and uding it, it will shortly become unbearable to touch).

I will need to book a third Apple Support Call and then have this device returned, as this seems to be a hardware problem -because none of the software fixes addressed the problem(s).

How disappointing. I have been trying to use this device for less than four weeks and the problems have been present from the start. Instead og bring able to enjoy my new Apple purchase, it has been nearly four weeks of spending time trying to fix issues and exoeriencing one disappointment after the other when the problem just persists.

There are consumer protection laws in place in the country where I purchased device, and if this device doesn’t get replaced with one that works properly, I have the right to rescind the purchase of this faulty device and get a refund.

I have the same problem too. I just bought my iPhone 12 yesterday and i noticed that my phone become quite hot. This issue happen not while i am using it while charging. Plus, i just use it to scroll social media for 30 minutes or so then the phone became quite hot which is not a good sign i think?

Me too, my iPhone 12 Pro Max is just 4 days old and it’s overheating that’s Crap for £1099 !! Shouldn’t do this we all should get a compensation for this !! I’ve always been a loyal customer to apple for years but I’m not satisfied with this new iPhone. No charger or headphone also overheating and expensive?!

Apple has to do something about this. Either stop the iPhone 12 production and compensate the customers or reduce the price drastically. This appears to be the first iPhone model with so many complaints.

Same here. Just switched from android to iphone and the change wasn’t a fun one anyway but the back of my phone feels like fire when I’m using it ... making an already annoying situation even worse. And that’s just while I’m using the internet or playing through the phone’s settings!

My 12 pro max started overheating today. This was the first time I noticed/had it happen. I was only videoing and I only took three 3min videos. I noticed during the second video that there was a “warning” that I couldn’t use the flash until the phone cooled down. After the third video I got the message about the phone overheating. I was taking videos, why is it overheating?!

Point noted.

Even me too noticed the same.

Seems like trying to hide something..

a clever business strategy behind this.

Most of the 12 series iPhones are having overheating issue and I am really fed up with this on my phone..

But no leaks on YouTube- google search etc.. what’s happening around..

otherwise a small issue is being circulated as viral in web!!

in this case the buyers are getting cheated, being trusting the apple!!

I never expect apple to release such an incomplete product having severe manufacturing defect!!!

Overheating of iPhone 12 whilst using. Started using only a few days ago. Stopped background apps from being refreshed as Apple Support suggested but still overheating... cools down itself... any advise

Definitely a problem. One hr after purchase of 12 Pro and set-up, driving with passenger on FaceTime with phone in holder, picked up phone and it was almost too hot to hold. Unfortunately rested the edge BRIEFLY, less than a minute, on leather armrest, and burned a hole in it. Range Rover. Brand new car. Arrrgh!

This has to be a fire hazard
