iPhone 12 Pro Overheating

I worked with a support tech on the phone and she had me go to settings and battery and WAZE for some reson was using 88% of my battery, I deleted the app and the phone is no longer overheating and the battery is lasting better now.

Mine got very hot at about 4 hours on the Mophie wireless Qi certified charger. The charger is fine. The phone would not set up either. I had 2 Verizon tech coaches , tier 2, working on it. And the battery never showed charging, on the Mophie or Apple lightening cable. It’s being returned.

Actually it really is because most people who have Waze have had it for years. I’ve seen Apple say delete apps. Also somehow we’ve gone from “you’re phone is basically waterproof” to “be aware of humidity “

at this time I am a delivery driver and keep it plugged in most of the day but the battery doesn’t charge faster than the food app and the map deplete the battery. I’ve had 2 phones before this one doing the same job and it’s never been so stressful.

Thus is happening to me too. Only a week after I received it. Last night it started getting warm (wasn’t using it and was not charging it). It stayed warm overnight and wouldn’t cool down and only charged to 80% (I googled this and says it will do this if the phone is too warm). I hope this is fixed quickly by Apple!

Well of course if diagnostics reveal a hardware issue, the phone should be replaced. How many people on this forum saying "ME TOO" my phone is getting hot have had diagnostics reveal such an issue. Many are saying they've had diagnostics and nothing is wrong. But few are doing anything like checking the battery usage to see if a rogue app is causing their issue.

One of my bosses was having this issue on his iPhone 12 Pro Max. A quick look at the battery usage on his phone showed Waze was not turning off when not being used. Waze chews through one's battery usage and that generates heat. Deleting the Waze app, then reinstalling it and his phone is running cool as a cucumber now.

The point is people are not doing much of any troubleshooting to see if there is something causing this. Instead, they're convinced their phone is defective. While there will of course be some hardware issues, the vast majority won't.

I didn’t notice this massive, colossal issue until I went to Disney world this past weekend and was constant using my iphone for pictures and videos.

IT got to the point I got the temperature warning and wouldn’t let me use the flash photography, i had to wait a good 20 minutes for it to cool down on the device, then video sessions I recorded while taking pictures on the camera app crashed to the Home Screen at which point they didn’t save.

Never ever in my 10 years of owning apple iphones have i seen a phone heat up frequently while using it. It was doing it twice an hour from the frequent pictures and frequent videos being recorded.

Had to setup a repair for an exchange.

hey guys , as usual the overheating issue since iPhone 6 until now in the iPhone 12, they knw the fault and am sure they are gonna release a software patch update which fixes overheating issue soon. cheers !

really?

I disagree. You're demeaning an entire universe of - probably seasoned - users because your boss is a proxy for everyone, and got nipped with a Waze bug?

Remember, dear sir, that in iOS 13, Apple changed the way that background application refreshed worked - SIX times. And then email was being retrieved in the background. Then it wasn't.

Please do not point the finger at users. If there are over 2000 "me too" clicks, something is amiss.

(and based on the quality of 2020 Apple devices - AirPods Pro from Vietnam, Watch SE, and now this - I wouldn't something might be wrong).

that's interesting. Does the power brick get hot too, or just the phone (this could be a proxy for "dirty power", btw).

Apple reinforced the Lightning charging area in the 8/X generation for increased (faster) charges. I didn't notice much heat then, but definitely noticed it more recently.

I use one of the new single USB-C GaN chargers now, which generally remains cooler.

I bought my parents a double-C GaN charger and it, too, remains cool (as does an iPhone 11 and Xr plugged in).

I'm demeaning no one. I only offered the example as a place people can start to see if they have a rogue app. If you took that as demeaning, that's on you.

I'm not sure what your point is about the "quality" of Apple devices means, but to me, they're still the best. I have no heating issues on either my iPhone 12 or 12 Pro Max. None.

Iam also facing abnormal over heating after few minutes of browsing . And after some reference just turn off the background refresh app which i did not do any i phone in my hand any way it worked it bit .

If Apple can not fix this issue it may be the failure . Hopefully waiting for the fix ....

I just received and set up my T-mobile iPhone 12 Pro last night. Yes, it runs very hot when charging and kind of hot when in use. I don't have a case at the moment. The heat is noticeable while surfing the web and checking emails.

Should I exchange it for another one?

every new iphone release for me is met with factory defects, the biggest culprit was the iPhone 7 Plus, i must had exchanged like 5 of them with apple to get a non defective one. You buy an apple product knowingly they make bank on repairs but will also help you exchange them as long it’s not user damaged

went through 2 iphone 3g’s, 2 iPhone 4s, 4 iPhone 5s, 3 iPhone 6 Plus, 5 iPhone 7 Plus, 3 iPhone X, 3 iPhone XS, and on my second iphone 12 pro en route. Their quality control allow this, so you are not wrong to complain about defective iPhones that are new. That’s why they don’t give you a hard time about exchanging new phones with defects we know are hardware and not software.

magsafe is new tech on iphones, hence the colosal issues that keep popping up with this. Magsafe 2.0 should fix all of this. I have been told the magnets on the back are not giving the correct wattage while charging because it needs to warm up...

i just got a 12 pro max and i didn’t charge my phone all day today and after i picked it up after half an hour of no usage it was heated. i switched it off for a while but there shouldn’t have been this issue. i upgraded from the 6s which had overheating issues and this one overheating wasn’t expected

I brought IPhone 12max Pro yesterday, disappointed really, phone is getting heat , While using and charging used the Power Charger which I purchased from apple and their Cable . Really not Happy , Phone is getting hang some time , When increasing the Volume , Speaker a vibrating experience I have recorded the video and will show to the officials .
