Troubleshooting an Overheating iPhone:

Try the following:

Two steps…


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


then…


2. Clear Space Using my User Tips:

See if you need to clear lots of space. System resources may be using up too much services, making it overheat. Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

So, what to do...

Hi waitufr, your phone is overheating because of how demanding the game is. Also, all devices, especially Apple stuff, will overheat when the game is running smoothly but there is a lot of processing it has to do. If the game is not running smoothly and it is lagging, it will actually run cooler most of the time.


The easiest way to fix the overheating problem is to buy a portable cooling pad. This is the link to a phone cooling device that I found: https://www.catch.com.au/product/cellphone-cooler-pad-portable-semiconductor-cooling-fan-cooling-pad-16355186/?offer_id=62474218&ref=gmc&srsltid=AR57-fBxwhdBBs1MsbSJ4ECltpvg5UqOZWbLIBwq8gvKclMIss-K6qIl5h8


Depending how old your phone is, you may need to get the internal thermal paste replaced.
