Iphone 16 Pro overheating

Same issue here. I had to keep my phone in the refrigerator. I had take about 1,000 photographs in the burst mode in 8minutes. My friends who are Android users had a good laugh 😔

What do you mean by "log" a support call? Do you mean record the conversation?

Recording on .5 with flash only last 7-10 minutes in a slim case. Overheated in a 75 degree room. This is terrible compared to my iPhone 13 Pro Max

My iPhone 16 overheated today and set off the ADT smoke alarm.

I will return it if this happens again.

Mine is also overheated, even though I set it to flight mode and let it sleeps, and either when I use magsafe or regular charger on different charging times.

Ever since I updated to iOS 18.0.1 my overheating issue has not returned. I have used the phone the same way as before. For now, I consider this problem resolved for my phone.

i updated iOS to 18.0.1 and updated most of my applications, it became good .

Same happens to me with brand new iPhone 14. Overheats and turns off while only browsing the web.

really considering switching to android

I see that there is actually a warning about increased battery drain and higher thermal output. During initial setup, you can see this on the battery settings page. I set up my phone on Saturday, it is now 48 hours later on Monday, and this screenshot was taken just now:

might heat issues only lasted for the first hour or so after I set up the phone, very soon after the data transfer from my old phone to my new phone had completed, and the phone was installing over 120 apps. I haven’t noticed any excessive heat since those few couple of hours of setting up the phone.

I deliberately had the phone on charge the whole time, so that the phone could draw power from the charger, rather than the battery, because draining a lithium battery hard will increase the actual batteries thermal output, further compounding heat issues for the phone itself. Having the phone at 100% charge (or whatever maximum you’ve configured in the battery optimisation settings) and connected to a charger, will keep it cooler during high demand periods.

Thank you! I was trying to log the issue online and must have been in the wrong place. It just kept asking whether I had an issue with a broken screen, battery etc. No option for overheating. I’ll try a call tomorrow.

Same problem. First day with the SIM in. It was just very warm compared to to iPhone 14 Pro which was next to it not doing very much apart from streaming music to the car. The 16 pro was very warm indeed. I think there is a fault. Never had this with the 14 pro streaming music for hours long journeys in the car. I’ll use it for 2 more days before returning it if it happens again

And the same set of suggestions. Pretty much every new iPhone release is accompanied here by a spate of "overheating" complaints. After week or two we don't see many posts about it anymore. Why? The iPhone has done its set of initialization procedures and is just running normally. Why don't you see it with your iPhone 14? Maybe because the iPhone 14 is likely 2 years old.

I received my phone on 9/27/24 and initially the phone wouldn’t turn on even after charging for over 3 hours. I arranged for Apple to send me a box to investigate. I put the phone back in the original box and forgot about it. The box arrived today 9/30, and I decided to see if it would charge and turn on. To my amazement the phone finally began charging. Immediately, I noticed how hot it was. I’ve never used the phone but it’s super hot and worrisome. I read the comments about waiting but waiting too long will make the phone ineligible for return.

Tired of everyone taping about the billions of data running in the background. This is lowkey embarrassing, it's been over a week and the battery drops 1% each minute. My mothers SE and my 16 Pro somehow got WORSE battery ???

And now the magical solution is to give it time ? I go to sleep and wake up to -30% of battery?? No location enabled, AOD turned off, Background app refresh turned off, WiFi only.... What's next
