Hello aleks105,


Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article which can help with this issue: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support. This article gives some great information on when your iPhone might be a bit warmer than normal and how to keep it within acceptable operating temperatures.


"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.


If your device gets too warm:

iOS and iPadOS devices have built-in protections to prevent overheating. If the interior temperature of your device exceeds the normal operating range, your device will protect its internal components by attempting to regulate its temperature. Here are some of the higher ambient-temperature conditions and activities to avoid, because they might cause your device to change performance and behavior:

      • Avoid leaving your device in a car on a hot day.
      • Avoid leaving your device in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
      • Avoid 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.


If the interior temperature of your device exceeds the normal operating range, you might notice these changes:

      • Charging, including wireless charging, slows or stops.
      • The display dims or goes black.
      • Cellular radios enter a low-power state. The signal might weaken during this time.
      • The camera flash is temporarily disabled.
      • Performance slows with graphics-intensive or augmented-reality apps or features.

Additionally, if you're navigating, your device might show this alert and turn off the display: "Temperature: iPhone needs to cool down." Navigation still provides audible turn-by-turn directions. When approaching a turn, the display will illuminate to guide you through the turn."



Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
