iPhone 16 Pro Max overheating whilst using camera app. Happens immediately when the app is launched
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
iPhone 16 Pro Max
I have an iPhone 16, I am noticing that the phone is getting quite hot to the touch while using the phone. Texting, camera or just checking emails. Last night when I was charging it for the first time, it had been sitting in the charger for a while and when I went ti touch it. It was hot
It may be warmer than you are used to but it is not overheating unless it shuts itself off.
If you're concerned, make a Genius Bar appointment:

Thanks for the tip!
My new apple iPhone 16 pro overheats when using camera and charging. Called apple today not a word when I told them about it overheating, Everyone should call them
As soon as I want to record 4K 120fps videos, the camera app crashes and the device gets hot and stutters a little.
please keep us updated! Curious if i need to make an app too!!
Same issue, other apps no problems at all. But the moment I take 2-3 pictures the phone gets very warm.
What did they do for you
new models usually overheat whenever they are activated for 1-2 weeks . It is always expected as the softwares are running in the background and data is being transferred
I am also facing the same problem, my iPhone 16 Pro Max not only heats up but restarted twice after 2 short video clips and few protrait shots taken using 5x camera. Please, fix ASAP. 18.0.1
I noticed this morning, when I try to capture photos, the camera blacks out or the camera just shuts down and it goes back to the home screen!
In addition to becoming very hot while at rest, the camera is essentially unusable. Once I open the camera app and hit the button to take a photo the screen goes black and the camera app quits.
Me too the second I turned the camera on to record a 10 second video of my daughter doing gymnastics. The front screen and the back of the phone are so hot. I can’t even touch it.
Make sure you have apple intelligence turned on by going to settings then apple intelligence & Siri and then long press the side button to activate apple intelligence. That solves the problem.
My new iPhone 16 Pro Max overheats when charging and when camera is in use. I then see the message “iPhone needs to cool down” and then I am unable to use the device
Any suggestions on what to do? Just got my 16 pro max yesterday and my phone gets super hot to touch when charging and using or when the camera is open.
