OverHeating of iPhone 12

Noticied primarily post upgradation to IOS 15.4.1, my iphone 12 has started heating up even with a few minutes of usage - it maybe watching a Youtube video, or making a video, taking few photos.. primarily any function used continuously for more than 10 mins....

The screen display is kept at controlled level, and used at the room temperature of 30-40C. The same issue noticed while in Air conditioned environment also !


This issue was always there, but it was more of usual heating, but with upgradation to IOS 15.4.1, the heating has gone up considerably !

Hey there,


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."
