severe aching, throbing stinging burning when touching my iphone

I’ve also have the same feeling. You might be experiencing first stages of carpal tunnel. Try the tinnels test at your wrist. It’s aggravated by holding the phone. I’ve reduced my phone usage significantly and I still get it. I switched my phone and still have it. Also doesn’t help that the iPhone heats up so much that the nerve is irritated and super sensitive? Wrist exercises and breaks in between should help.

It’s improbable that the iPhone is the cause. But see your doctor and contact Apple Support.

Some people have unusually severe allergies to metals or other substances.

If you are one of them, maybe you are allergic to something in the case of the iPhone.

Hi Lacey, I'm noticing similar things with my iPhone 14. I use my right hand mostly with it and I've started noticing my thumb and my index finger start burning after touching the screen for a little while. After I stop they feel fine and then when I got back to my phone I start noticing it again. It hasn't gotten to the point that it's that uncomfortable yet, but it has made me think how this could become more of an issue over the course of the next year or two. Let me know if you've found anything that helps. It's made me think about getting some kind of finger protectors for using an iPhone.

Came here to find this thread. I’ve been experiencing the same exact thing for months. I’m an RN, and it has stumped both myself and my physician. I can’t hold or do any serious work on my phone if I’ve been holding it for several hours. I’ve spent tons on solutions like fingertip Band-Aids and all kinds of clinical products to avoid it but nothing helps. Have you found any kind of relief? Or answers?

i have a new iphone14 too and I also experience a burning sensation while i’m holding it !

I never felt it prior so that’s why i started googling it just now and came across this.

It hurts to hold it. The second i put it down it’s fine but then i touch the screen and it burns.

Can I get a replacement?

That will be for Apple to decide.
