iPhone 13 Overheating after iOS Update

Anyone else experiencing overheating since last update to iOS 16.5.1?


My iPhone 13 max has been mostly perfect. It has the basic issues that all phones have however I noticed two issues since this last update to 16.5.1.


1) my battery dies fast

2) my phone overheats while just sitting there.


I turned off my phone and turned it back on. Not using it and it not plugged in, it overheated.


if I plug it in while on, I get… charging will resume later, your device is too hot. (But I just plugged it it)

Of course the phone runs hot now, and even though it is an Apple product error has anyone received any relief without a negative impact? The review above saying the new update fixed it is not true. It’s odd because due to all the restrictions due to COVID 19 the phone itself has not really been out of the house.

So, the magnet in my phone exploded out of the back, causing it to shatter in a curled shape. This is what AT&T told me. However, because the iPhone is an Apple product, you know how that goes. So, unless I want it fixed, I'm going to have to pretty much pay for another phone or pay to get it fixed while I'm still making payments on a broken phone. But I didn't realize there was an update in July, because that's exactly when my phone started indicating it was overheating, even when it wasn't hot outside, and the phone itself wasn't hot. The battery would also die quickly, to the point where its dying two times a day. Now, it's gotten worse; my phone will be at 25%, then it'll restart as if it died, turn back on at 1%, die again, turn back on, and then be at 10%. It's definitely getting worse, and I'm absolutely frustrated with Apple. I'm going back to Android next.

Sorry to hear about your problem. What did Apple say when you contacted them about this defect?
