"iPhone 11 battery: Why is my iPhone 11 battery getting so hot? I hv turned off any unused apps and none are open in the background? My battery is also degraded and only has 79% capacity. Is that why it’s so hot?"

It's Time for a New Battery:

Your iPhone battery has degraded, and it is overheating, as a result. Apple recommends you get a new battery when the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower.

Where to get a New Battery:

Getting a New iPhone Battery:

Contact Apple, and setup a Genius Bar Appointment or see an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area. Be wary as to where you get this item, ask you may get an error of an ungenuine battery. So, to avoid this continual message, it is best to have an Apple or an AASP replace the battery. So, where to get a new battery:

A. Apple Contact Info:

• Contact Us - Choose Locations
• Proceed from there, as necessary
• Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :) 

B. Contact an AASP: 

1. Go Here: Find Locations - Apple Authorized Reseller
2. Click: Service & Support
3. Enter: your location information
4. See: if there is an AASP nearby
5. Contact: an AASP that shows up, and find out more about the services that they offer to fix the battery

Try some of these options too.

1. Avoid Screen Mirroring
2. Put on Low Power Mode

4. Put Auto Answer Off
5. Disable Push notifications for apps you do not use often
6. Keep your iPhone Face down to prevent notifications to light up screen
7. Enable Auto Brightness:- Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Auto-Brightness [Enable]
8. Manually lower brightness from Control Center
9. If you Want to watch continuous Video. Stream it on TV or a Monitor
10. Don't force close apps; Apps which are not on frontend screen are paused by the system to save energy. Apps require more energy to re-launch. Apps which are open in the background use large memory is a myth and quitting them is counterproductive
11. Location services to be allowed only while using the app
12. Set your iPhone to fetch email and calendar data from internet less frequently
13. Turning off Background App Refresh 
14. Charge before it drops below 20-30%
15. Try connecting to trusted Wifi where ever available in stead of Cellular
16. Enable Airplane mode in areas with bad cellular and wifi coverage. Your phone keeps trying for reconnection with the missing / weak network. This uses lot of energy
17. Switch off Wifi & Bluetooth while in Roaming or Not in Range
18. Enable "Wifi Assist" : Settings > Cellular or Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Assist [Enable]
19. Periodically Check your Battery Health (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
