Hi people I currently have an iPhone SE 3 which is currently burning up on the camera side, and the on off button side. Currently the screen is on but not showing image. I have to the phone into an ice pack to cool it down.

Overheating iPhone Camera:


Perhaps this is a Fault Device?:

A. When did this Begin? Just curious. If it was on its own, then you might have a corroding battery --that would likely mean this might bis a faulty device.


B. Finding the Official Cost:

Take this in for a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. Bring a proof pf purchase with you. There, it would be diagnosed, and you'd be provided with a cost.


C. Keeping this Cool:

With an icepack, you're likely to get condensation to occur. So, in the meantime of getting this serviced, place this atop a laptop cooler, and out of direct sunlight, and out of the corner of the room.

That sounds like it might be an issue with something else then. Could you try turning it off by holding the side button until the screen shuts off? After that, wait for it to cool down and then you could try turning it back on. If it’s gets hot again, you probably need to take it to be repaired. You can get it check out at either a Geek Squad at Best Buy, or the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. If you don’t live near either of those, you can send it in for repair.
