my iphone 7 gets hot after

Hi there kerra06,

Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're asking why your iPhone is getting warm, and if it's related to not being used for some time. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.

“Your device might get warm

When you use the device or charge the battery, the device might get warm. You might notice that your device feels warmer in these situations:

• When you set up your device the first time
• When you restore from a backup
• When apps reindex or reanalyze data, like Photos tagging for faces, places, or keywords after a software update
• When you use graphics-intensive or augmented-reality apps or features

These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when complete.

Here are some of the higher ambient-temperature conditions and activities that might cause the device to change performance and behavior:

• Leaving the device in a car on a hot day.
• Leaving the device in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
• Using certain features in hot conditions or direct sunlight for an extended period of time, such as GPS tracking or navigation in a car, playing a graphics-intensive game, or using augmented-reality apps.”

Keeping that information in mind, have a look at the 'If your device gets too warm' section of this support article: 

Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures

We hope this information is helpful. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.

Take care.
