iPhone overheats and sometimes does not connect to CarPlay or anything

Hi, I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max from new and recently for some reason it overheats and does not connect to things. Examples are Bluetooth devices, CarPlay stuff like that. I was wondering if my phone had overheated and did some damage to its insides.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

It is not clear here in your post about the ambient temperature in your area where you are using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...


Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.


Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behaviour to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.
