Iphone 13 pro overheating

I barely used my new iphone which I got last Monday night 2 nights ago. I noticed overheating while I was transferring files from my old phone and while it is connected with charger. It doesn’t have protective film nor casing yet so I don’t use it at all. And now, that I’m using it for browsing AT&T website for an hour, I found it overheating again.. No youtube or other apps were used. And still without protective case.

Finally, I have found the admission from Apple where the conflict is between the career (in my case Vodafone with 5G service and international contract, these two elements are important) with Apple’s security service with their iOS; conflict with 5G service. The battery status is actually correct, sorry for correcting you; it qualifies what are the APP services being ‘interrupted’, the % or time is a reflection of a time stamp of when they are ‘open’ and ‘closed’ (I will not explain the programming terminology). Alas, it does not resolve the problem but explains the challenge with iOS because I do not have the same problem with my Android smartphone. I am still pausing before I upgrade to 16.2 because all the info from Apple talks about enhance features with TV, Phone etc while I want 5G resolved.

Omg, now I know I’m not crazy. I’ve been having the same issues with my IPhone 13 Pro. I do a lot of driving (with use of phone) for my job, therefore, I am exposed to the elements quite a bit. It could be warm or cold outside and my phone still manages to overheat. Doesn’t matter whether it’s plugged into the car charger, home charger, or no charger at all. It’s quite irritating, because it got so hot, that one time my phone was sitting on my bare skin in the car… and had I left it on longer, I’m sure I would’ve gotten burned. Unfortunately, my phone is out of the 1 year warranty… just shy of a few days and after months of procrastinating to get it fixed, it is imperative to do so at this point. This phone is a big investment and is used every day, but I shouldn’t have to fear it blowing up on me at any given moment or malfunctioning when I need it most. When it over heats, it glitches and freezes too! So, I guess it’s already malfunctioned quite a few times. I only use Apple USB-C charging chords. The original chord that came with the phone and a chord I purchased from the Apple store. So I’m not sure why it’s overheating like this. It’s effecting my sense of safety and money at this point. No Bueno.
