iPhone 14 Plus
Hi Shuravi85,
Let's make sure your iPhone is up-to-date with the latest version of iOS:
If you're not seeing a message that your iPhone needs to cool down, then it is not overheating:
If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold
It can be normal for your iPhone to be warm under use, especially when charging.,
If you've only just gotten your iPhone, it's going to expending extra energy indexing, downloading, and syncing your information from a first time set up.
To check to make sure no unexpected app is using a lot of battery, check for battery usage here:
About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
Everything you said is what’s happening to mine too it gets hot down where you plug in cable. Is this because of new updates. I had an 8 too!
My phone is on the latest version of iOS 17.0.3. I don't use it when it's charging. I understand that in the process of use the phone should heat up, but usually it happens more or less evenly. But my phone is heated only in one place I wrote about above. I checked the battery usage in applications, no application consumes a lot of charge. I contacted support in the application, the phone passed the online test and there were no errors. But the left side of the screen continues to warm up for no apparent reason, and the rest of the phone will remain cold. And it causes me discomfort and frustration. In 5 years of use, the iPhone 8 has never faced the problem that it warms up in one place. And with 14 plus I've been suffering for two months after the purchase.
I don't think it's because of updates, it started a week after the purchase, then I had iOS 16, I contacted support and they advised to update to iOS 17, but it didn't help. Google search say all iPhone 14 plus are like that. Warranty repairs cannot be made because the phone does not overheat until the warning of overheating.
The warranty service won't be able to help until the phone burns to ****.
I contacted apple directly at this link. No one can help with my problem because I live in Russia and the iPhone 14 was not officially delivered to Russia. Although, according to apple, they provide a global guarantee.
G'day Shuravi85,
Thanks for following up. For further assistance, we recommending contacting Apple directly with this link: Get Support
Take care.
