If it is not holding a charge and getting hot, those are signed that the battery is going dead.

Battery and charging Hello. 1 month ago I bought my iphone 13 and original apple charger. When I put it to charge the phone and the charger start to get very hot, but there is no notification that it is burning. After 1 month and 10 days from the purchase, my phone lost 1% of its life. Since I got it, I haven't sat on it for as long as it was charging, I haven't left it charging longer than it should What to do ? I don't think it's normal for it to be so cold and for 1% of the battery's life to last, in the conditions in which I took great care of it

Is my new iPhone 12 a lemon? Will not hold a charge & runs hot. Why is my new iPhone 12 running hot? Why won’t it hold a charge for even 4-5 hours? I’ve turned off EVERYTHING I can find to turn off to improve battery life & it still loses its charge (down to under 20%) in 4-5 hours. When charging it gets very hot! Do I have a lemon?
