Overheating iPhone 13 Mini

Question

Overheating iPhone 13 Mini

Here’s what I did:

Unboxed the phone.
Turned it On and set it up without Apple ID (just basic setup).
Connected the phone to charger (the phone had about 50% battery out of the box).
Updated phone software to iOS 16.0.2. This process took about 30 minutes.
I transferred all my apps and data from my old iPhone to the new one. This took just about 10 to 12 minutes.

The phone stopped charging at some point in this process when battery was around 85%. Here is the message I got:

”Charging was on hold due to iPhone temperature”.

I have never seen a message like this on any of the other iPhones in the family. I don’t think the above activity for about 40 minutes was too stressful or long enough to put strain on the battery.

What do you think?

Greetings Sridhar,

To help keep your iPhone within acceptable operating temperatures, follow the guidance found here:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support

"Your device might get warm

You might notice that your device feels warmer when you:

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

These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when the process is complete or when you finish your activity. If your device doesn't display a temperature warning, you can keep using your device."

Take care.
