Hello Nashjungus,


No, this doesn't mean your phone has been hacked.


You might notice that your iPhone feels warmer when you:

  • Set up your device the first time
  • Restore from a backup
  • Wirelessly charge your device
  • Use graphics-intensive or processor-intensive apps, games, or features, including augmented-reality apps
  • Stream high-quality video
