When you update an iPhone, it has to reindex all the data on the phone, so it may run warmer than normal for a while. If your phone is actually overheating, it will display a thermometer on the phone and tell you it can't be used until its temperature returns to a normal range. If you are not seeing that, your phone isn't overheating.

I would suggest you check its Battery Health as a battery which is degraded can cause more heat issues. Open the Settings App > Battery > Battery Health and see what it shows. If it is near, or below 80%, the battery needs to be replaced.
