I dropped my iPhone and when I picked it up - it was so hot to the touch it was burning my hands and all I can smell is acetone. It also hasn’t turned on since and I’m to scared to try again. It’s cooling down now but still stinks - I took out the SIM card and it started cooling off.
iPhone 13, iOS 18

iPhone Issues After Dropping:
Is the back of the iPhone expanding? Seems you may have a corroding battery. So, stop fiddling with it, as it seems this has become a heath hazard.
Do NOT attempt to turn the phone on.
Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop.
You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link: Find Locations
Good luck
If I were you I would go to the apple store and ask them to help you. If it is hot it could just mean that it is being overworked but I doubt that that is the problem.
