My iPhone 16 Pro just started overheating watching YouTube

So it stopped playing the YouTube video and showed a thermometer on the screen and said the phone needs to cool down before you can continue? If no, your phone DIDN'T overheat. It got warm, which would be expected when doing activities like watching videos, streaming music or playing games. Doing things like that, makes the battery work harder. And when the battery works harder, it generates heat.

SO if you burn your hand off I guess you're still alive and functional.

If you are burning your hand, why haven't you taken your iPhone to your Apple Store Genius Bar and showed it to them? If you think anyone here has a solution for a phone which gets so hot as you claim it could burn your hands, this user to user forum isn't where you're going to get the help you need.
