Sun/Heat Damage

Hi!

I left my iPhone 13 in the front seat of my car in the intense Miami heat. The phone had to cool down before use, per the temperature gauge. Now screen buttons on the right side don’t function. What can I do?

iPhone 13, iOS 15

I have a year old iPhone 12 Pro Max that I bought new. I have always had the following issue and just wondering if others are having the same issue and if there is a fix. When I am in a warm locations like when I am in my screened in back porch my iPhone 12 will post a warning on the screen saying something to the effect that, It is too hot and my iPhone needs to cool off before it will come back on. Just to be clear, I am not out in the Florida Hot Sun, just a hot, 92-95 degree Fahrenheit day, on my shaded back porch. It is a real pain in my ass for it to do this. I do have a black Otter case on it but I understand when I am outside and I am unable to even see my screen in sun light. I never had this problem with my iPhone 6s+ in or out of the sun. Just wondering if there are fixes?

iPhone 6 touch screen doesn't work in cool weather My touch screen only works when the phone is warm. If it is even just 70 degrees it stops working. I have to hold the phone or leave it in the sun to warm up then it works....very frustrating.

If the phone exceeded its storage temperature it may be permanently damaged. Make an appointment to have it checked out→Find Locations for Apple service
