iPhone 14 Pro Max overheating

Me too hard keeping the battery charged up. Tried to listen to Tina Turner on Utube just now. Phone got so hot l had to stop. Guess that’s not and approved app anymore. At least not for this iPhone 14pm😂

100% disagree. I’m not using any apps that I didn’t already have, never had over heating before. Software is up to date, always is. Always had background refresh on, never had to reduce brightness before, always use find my location for find my phone which should always be on for obvious reasons, and no one should ever have to use an external fan or cooling device, never have had need before. So with that, this is an Apple problem not user problems.

Just so you know, this is one of many threads on this subject, there are other sites discussing this subject as well. In addition many experiencing this problem do not even post about this issue so there are more having this problem. So when you say the vast majority are not having this problem, I’m interested to know how you know this?

Purchased this phone Feb 2023 my battery health today is 96%. Worse then my old 7plus at the end of its use. It’s disappointing and discouraging l still owe on this phone. I never had a apple product like this one

That's excellent battery health.

Again, Apple states that a loss of 1-2% per month of use is normal, and they will replace your battery for free if it drops below 80% within one year.

February 2023 was five months ago, so a battery health of 90% - 95% would be considered normal, and your battery is performing better than that.

Interesting no one replied after your remarkably stunning statement. None the less, it is true no matter how many other threads state basically the same thing and someone replies telling the user they aren’t really ‘feeling’ or ‘experiencing’ what they actually are. Our concerns are real and no, it has nothing to do with storage on brand new devices. this was reply made on another relevant thread stating basically the same concerns.

Past couple days my iPhone14 Pro Max has been overheating. I have restarted it 3 times in the past two days.

Excellent!? What you are calling excellent comparatively speaking to a 13pro that had 94% for 2 years until ios17 happened to it.

Again, it's normal and expected for you to lose 1-2% of battery health per month of use of your device.

If your battery falls below 80% within one year of ownership, Apple will replace your battery for free under warranty.

If your Battery Health changed after installing iOS 17, it was solely due to more accurate calculation of your battery's health.

However, if you think it is incorrect or there is another issue, your best bet is to contact Apple Support directly:

What are/were you doing at the time?

Do you have your phone in a case of any type? Is it in a warm room?

The link above gives many temps for keeping your iPhone in a normal temperature range.

As long as the phone does not shut itself down, it is within operating parameters.

Different people have different sensitivities to heat, so I can’t judge “too hot to hold.”

I went and turned off the auto play video on FB in my privacy set and it is still feeling like it’s super hot.
