My iPhone is overheating after iOS 18.1.1 update

I updated my 16 pro max and my 12 pro max to iOS 18.1.1 yesterday. Ever since I updated, both phones overheat randomly, the screens freeze and become completely unresponsive. Not app specific, happens completely random. No temperature warning comes up at all when it happens, it’s literally the hottest I’ve ever felt my phone get.

My iPhone Pro Max has starting getting uncomfortably hot. I tried restarting, using lower wattage chargers, etc. It happened after 18.1. I’ve also had problems with my battery draining, and even with some chargers. My phone will say it’s charging, but still die. I wasn’t ready to get a new phone yet, until Apple came out with something really exciting, but I am not sure what to do!
