Face id on iphone is too hot

Hello fellow iphoners, back in september I sent my iPhone 11 Pro Max to apple for battery replacement and got it back pretty quick, so after some days I noticed the phone getting too hot to the touch, more precisely the Face ID sensor, so when I try to unlock my phone I get the message that it ahs to cool down befre I can use the sensor again,, this problem was why i sennt the phone to them in the first palce since the battery was draining pretty fast and I had and still have to carry the charger with me at all times because of this issue, so my question is the followin:

Is there something I can do to fix this issue with the face id sensot being way too hot? or should I just contact apple and ask for help?

I have the latest iOS installed and phone was bought in Feb 2019

iPhone 11 Pro Max

Was it an Apple Authorized Service Provider? Does your phone say anything about a 'non-genuine' part? You should contact Apple like IdrisSeabright suggested.

I used apple official repair program where they send you a box and you send them the phone directly to their repair shop and several days later you get it back with a paper saying what they replaced. no strange messages appear, just the face id message when trying to use it.


maybe its best that I contact them regarding this, so they can tell me whats best
