Hey There 🙋🏽‍♂️


There are a lot of factors that can trigger your iPhone to get heated, one common reason is using a fast charge adapter to charge your iPhone with, or Wireless charging which is totally normal. Other reasons such as:

  • Set up your device the first time
  • Restore from a backup
  • Wirelessly charge your device
  • Use graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps, games, or features, including augmented-reality apps
  • Stream high-quality video


If you recognize that your iPhone is getting too heated and your display is dimmed, i’d recommend you to:

  • Avoid leaving the device in a car on a hot day
  • Avoid leaving the device in direct sunlight for an extended period of time
  • Avoid 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
