Heating issues

I have recently switched to iPhone from android. Is it normal for the iPhone 13 to get warm in direct sunlight? Or while using for gaming in outdoors? Upto what temperature can it reach?

iPhone 13, 15

Hey there,


If you mean that you want to replace it because it heats up in the cases you mentioned, this is normal and your phone does not need to be replaced.


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."

Avoid Overheating:

Yes. This is normal. In fact it should not be performed. If using it outdoors, keep it in a case, and insert the case into your pocket. If using this in indoors keep out of direct sunlight, and usr it in a cooler room.
