Thanks for getting back to us with those details Nikita_111. Do you notice feeling the warmth on the back or front of your iPhone and from any particular area? If you use a case, we'd recommend removing it to test and see if the same issue occurs.


If it persists, the next step would be to get in touch with our support teams directly. They'll be able to work through additional steps with you to see what might be going on. You can reach them here: Get Support

Hi Nikita_111,


To clarify, when you say your iPhone overheats, does it show a warning it has gotten too hot and needs to cool down?


If so, when specifically does. this most happen? For example, while charging? Or playing a game? There's a few things that can cause the iPhone to warm up and would be expected behavior from the device.


"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."


You can see more info about how your iPhone regulates temperature here:


Cheers!

Troubleshooting an Overheating iPhone:

There are likely too many processes taking place. So, power off the phone, to let it cool, and then try clearing space.


Try the following:

I. Cool Down the iPhone:

For a few hours, perform the following...

  • Power Off: the iPhone for a bit
  • Unplug: any Cables
  • Place it Atop: Laptop Cooler
  • Keep it in: an open space
  • Keep it Out of: direct sunlight


II. Clear Space:

Many services may be swollen up here. So, try clearing some space.
