I noticed an increasingly high amount of times my iPhone overheats due to external temperature and exposure to direct sunlight. As such, I found a possible solution: place the iPhone (powered off) in a refrigerator for ~5-10min.
Can anyone verify this method is “safe” for the hardware on my device?

That would be a condition where the water resistant seals are likely to break down faster, in addition to all the mentions about possible condensation. The best thing to do is allow slow cooling, although a fan blowing air might not be too bad.
Not to pile on, but as y_p_w said ...
A space shuttle exploded a few years back because an overnight freeze in Florida cracked a rubber seal on a fuel tank. Not that you would see anything that catastrophic, though.
In case you want a 3rd opinion. No.
No. It is not "safe".
Rapid temperature changes could cause moisture to condense out inside of the device, causing liquid damage, which is unrepairable and not covered by the warranty.
Moisture from a refrigerator can cause serious damage that would void your warranty.
Thank you, my friend!
Noted. Thanks for your response!
Lol. You rock, my friend! 🙌
You’re welcome! 😉

Can you cool iPhone (13 Pro) in a Fridgerator?
