6s overheats on wifi Bluetooth

Hi everyone. Dropped my phone recently and now it overheats when connected to wifi within seconds. Streaming Bluetooth audio to my car also causes it.

If both wifi and Bluetooth are off, I can use data no problems.

Yes I updated iOS etc. It’s been happening for a week now and it’s repeatable.

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

Bluetooth overheating phone since latest 14.6 update Since the update a few days ago, if I turn bluetooth on and connect a device to my iPhone11 Pro, the phone rapidly starts heating, reaching a temp of 106F within minutes. If I disconnect the device, the phone cools back down. I've tried with multiple devices, and get the same thing. The phone gets uncomfortably hot very quickly since the last update. Is this a known issue, or do I need to brave a mall and visit a genius bar?

iPhone 6s overheating by power button and camera Everytime I turn on bluetooth and connect a bluetooth device, my iphone 6s overheats by the power button and camera and gets hot and displays a temperature warning. How can I fix this?

Abnormal overheating while providing hotspot Hi there, I’m experiencing abnormal overheating on the iPhone 12 pro max I bought brand-new two months ago. I switched off 5g and my phone is updated at ios 14.4.1. The point is, I am smartworking in a place where I have to provide hotspot with my iPhone. After 50 mins of hotspot, the phone becomes hot to the point that I cannot use the flash anymore (even though I don’t use it while providing hotspot). I have experienced some overheating shut-downs of the phone, too. I had the opportunity to try another iPhone 12 pro max and it didn’t overheat at all while providing hotspot. Besides, I’d like to underline that my iPhone won’t overheat while connected to the wi-fi, even when used for heavy applications or video calls. Thanks in advance for the kind reply. Best regards, Andrea

You damaged something by dropping the phone; it needs a hardware repair, and for an phone that old a repair would not be worth the investment.
