iPhone 14 Pro Max overheating

I received my replacement 14 Pro, transferred my info over from my burning got 14 Pro, and everything went cool! The second 14 Pro has never heated up to the extent of the first one.

Ditto for me. My XR overheated the odd time but this new IPHONE 14 PLUS. is constantly overheating. Plan to return it. Unfortunately I have also spent money on OTTERBOX cover and a screen plate.

My second 14 Pro is running cool.

Did you have success in getting a replacement phone?

I did! They had me a new shipped to me and I received it the next day! Works perfectly!

Yes, Verizon sent me a new phone

Hi. I must clarify I have the iPhone 14plus which has experienced the overheating problem. I haven’t filed a complaint yet since there is some improvement. I have noticed a connection to the amount of apps open especially with things like Audible, Netflix, photos etc. but really with the power of this latest model phone and with a high storage capacity this shouldn’t be.

I don’t know why you think that; the more powerful the CPU, the more it is going to heat when used, as all the apps you cite other than Audible make heavy use of the CPU and GPU.

I have the same issue. Today i called Apple they made some test on the phone and said phone is OK. But i know it’s not. I am charging without using the phone at the same time and phone is stopping the charge due to overheating.

Generally i plug in the charger at night, and at morning when i unplug battery is %100. But the phone is hot as ****. Normally it was stopping the charging.

How? Did yours fail the diagnostics? Apple doesn’t replace anything without their dumb diagnostics test showing a fail.

My iPhone 14 pro max overhead when I use CarPlay ? My old phone XS never hot ? I would like remplacer another phone ( I buy a few months I still have garantie)

but Apple Store Saint Catherine Montreal don’t resolve? Why not?

I so scary it’s fire 🔥 but I don’t know what to do?

I’m so disappointed !

If the iPhone gets hot enough to be a danger to itself or something else it will shut itself down.

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

If I may, I believe that it is because it would be reasonable to think that a newer and more powerful cpu would be coupled with a newer and more efficient heat dissipation system, adequate enough to handle the increased power consumption.

If running those apps the way annemiek178 was, makes heavy use of the cpu and gpu enough so that it causes the device to heat up to unexpected levels ( kind of have to assume most people that are here posting have some experience using portable tech devices, thus have certain reference point of mobile operating temperatures ), then it’s more of a device workload performance expectation/ not knowing app resource consumptions. Could also be the device is not operating as intended/built/programmed.

Not sure why you wouldn’t hope/expect your newest piece of tech would operate effortlessly, without feeling heat build up as if it were an older devices struggling to work through newer programming/tech.

You answers in this thread attempt to provide some guidance and help to folks, though there seems to be a bit of dismissiveness and rational detachment as well.

The bottom line is still if it heats enough to become an issue, it will shut itself down.

We're not talking about an iPhone 14 Pro Max shutting itself down due to heat when running Maps or Waze.

No dismissiveness, but also an acknowledgement that "runs hot" is in the hand of the beholder so to speak; that's why there are temperature sensors built into the phone.

As far as more powerful chips running hotter despite newer heat dissipation systems, all you need to look at is the Intel CPU world along with the GPU world; systems with newer CPUs and better heat sinks still often run hotter than their predecessors.
