I've never seen the internal temperature of my iPhone. Is this something which was available in iOS 15 as it's not available in iOS 16?

You can check the temperature of your iPhone 7 by using the built-in temperature sensor that is part of the device's hardware. Here's how to do it:


1. First, make sure that your iPhone 7 is unlocked and the home screen is visible.


2. Next, locate the "Settings" app on your home screen and tap on it.


3. In the Settings menu, scroll down until you see the "Battery" option and tap on it.


4. On the Battery screen, you should see a section called "Battery Health." Under that section, you'll see the current temperature of your iPhone 7 in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.

I don’t see anything on my iPhone 7 running iOS 15.7.5. There is a setting for temperature scale (C/F), but I’m guessing that’s for warning messages.

Hmm, that was from my notes, but could be very for a much earlier version of iOS. I did a quick check thru my iPhone's collected analytic data, and also, did not find any clear items that refer to temperatures. This is with a 3rd gen. iPhone SE, running iOS 16.


... so it does appear that the only available option is via a third party app, like Coconut Battery, as you pointed out.


Sorry, for causing any confusion.

To my knowledge, iPhone has never reported its internal temperature anywhere. If the OP wants to know the temperature of their iPhone, I suppose they could buy a device which measures thermal temperature.

I’m sure that it’s recorded somewhere in the diagnostics. I’ve been able to get real time temperature using coconutBattery on a Mac. Like this from their front page.
