iPhone 13 Overheating after iOS Update

I am going back to an Android phone. Tired of all the constant apple updates & my phone overheating all the time. 😁

Good plan. Android phones don’t have any of those messy updates that fix security vulnerabilities, so you won’t be bothered (except by hackers getting into your phone and stealing your data).

And you will find that Android phones also get hot when charging or doing heavy work.

sure,genius(I hope you agree that is a factual statement), when you live in a big city like you obviously do and don't have to drive 80 to 100 miles just to find an Apple facility, and you haven't had phone service for 24 hours because your phone shut down because it overheated-again like it had several times in the since they ridiculous obviously(and yes, that's factual) operating system update is the only time that it has ever overheated-don't be a smart donkey, if you can't say something nice to people like me on the Internet then come see me face-to-face. I hope you can read a GPS to find your way here though, because you will never get here following a GPS-I do not even have phone service in my own house with my own cell phone other than because I have spectrum Wi-Fi to talk on-so much for T-Mobile's phone system-and after 23 years with Sprint, I always thought they had the worst system there was(the only reason I stayed was because they did have all in one), so I have VerizonTower on my property in my backyard and I have no phone service until I get close enough to the house so spectrum connects me. Barking up the wrong tree dude-come visit though I would love to speak to you face to face. I do not believe in ranting and raving on the Internet, but for you I made an exception(that's a factual statement to-you can check it out with all of my grandkids who have masters degrees including in computer engineering). I feel sorry that I got this email with your statement in it, I do not have enough techie training nor education in these devices to understand why I would get such an email, but I felt compelled to at least respond so that you know there is at least one other idiot out here. And have a good day.

I still on IOS 16.5.1, and since that update, my 14 Pro Max will randomly claim my phone is overheating but it only gives this warning when my phone is connected to the charger. It only does this when the screen is closed and the phone is just laying there charging. So when I go to use the phone, it will display the message that basically says (I can’t remember the exact wording) that “iPhone will temporarily pause charging until phonebreturns to normal” or something to that effect. But the phone doesn’t even feel “warm”, let alone “hot”…. My 14 Pro Max, that I’ve had since June, hasn’t literally overheated or been “hot” to the touch since I got it. Prior to that, my 13 Pro Max only got “hot” to the touch from overheating ONCE, and that was while on I was vacationing in Daytona Beach, FL and it was HOT AF and I accidentally left the phone in the car for a bit.

As far as battery goes, I don’t think my 14 Pro Max has experienced any battery drain issues. Not that I’ve noticed at least. I try and keep my phone charged at all times to at LEAST 50%. When it reaches 50%, I connect to the Lightening Charger until it’s at least at the 90%, and usually I continue to use the phone while it’s charging. I also keep it connected to the charger overnight every night.

Yes, it started happening after three updates ago my phone I still owe on as well never been wet. I’ve had it in a sturdy OtterBox case and it seems to overheat yeah playing YouTube and some other iHeartRadio streaming. It has an overheated since the last update keeping my fingers crossed.

I got a 13 pro. Same thing when I’m watching YouTube for too long it over heats. Or TikTok. My Phone never got wet or repaired, That’s unfair because I still owe my phone

Define “overheat”. There is only ONE meaning with respect to an iPhone: An overheated iPhone will shut down completely and display a message saying it cant be used until it cools off. If that doesn’t happen it may be warm, but it has not overheated.

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.

APPLE FIX IT

#FixItApple

My iPhone 13 is overheating a lot. I have plugged it in for five minutes and I unplugged it and it overheated. I was not using it, and it’s so hot in my pocket. What causes this. What can I do about this problem

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?

iPhone 13 Overheating after iOS Update

Anyone else experiencing overheating since last update to iOS 17.4.

my phone is just sitting on my bed, not my charger and I pick it up to use it and the glass is extremely hot. I also have a case on it and I can feel the heat through the back of the case as well. Have never an issue with my iPhone. What is going on??

I have had an iPhone since the first one ever came out and now seriously thinking of switching to android because iPhones are NO LONGER durable as they used to be when they were made with metal. The glass on it (front and back) is easy to break, even with a case on it, it’s ridiculous! I mean seriously whose bright idea was this to make a glass back?

Why iPhone 13 heating ?

I have iPhone 13 but I shamed😒

1/2 minutes playing camera or some games after 1/2 minutes heating problem started.

what is this nonsense?

please solve this problem

I recently purchase iPhone 13 secondhand but this device coming heating problem .

solve this 😔😔

Ah! Literally same here!!

I JUST bought the iPhone 13 and got it 6/25/24. It’s been almost a month and i noticed after maybe 2 weeks that it started to overheat. I figured huh, maybe it’s because I’m in a hot environment, etc. but no. Even when i would put my phone on the charger, the block itself started to overheat too! And now it’s to the point where the cord itself will overheat at the port ends. And when I’m using it while it’s charging, the charging pot gets hot too, along with the left side of the phone near the SIM tray.

im glad I’m not the only one who’s experiencing this. I thought I was going crazy Lol.

My one over heats during mild use, over heated to the extent a red warning came on & the phone shut down. Went through the horrendous apple process of resolving & they find every excuse to justify heating. From the Sun to my Apps and Phone network provider. I am not a heavy user, do not stream

and my main function is to communicate. No point in making a complaint, apparently Apple ignore them.
