If your iPhone was actually overheating, it would display a thermometer on the screen with a warning the phone can't be used until it cools down. If you're not seeing that, your iPhone is NOT overheating. But it can certainly get warm to hot when playing games. Games are extremely battery intensive and when you play games, the battery has to work much harder. And when a battery works hard, it generates heat. That is completely normal.

Now, you have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it's battery could be beginning to fail and batteries which are near their useful end of life get hotter when they are pushed harder. Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health. What is the health of the battery there? If it is at or near 80% or below 80%, you need to have the battery replaced in your phone.

📱Facing iPhone heating issues? Here's what worked for me on my iPhone 12 Pro:

1️⃣ Backup on iCloud/iTunes

2️⃣ Log out of Apple ID

3️⃣ Erase (Keep eSIM Data)

❌ DO NOT restore from backups! Set up as new iPhone. Wait 2-3 days - no issue! That Indicates...

✅ No hardware/ iOS issue

Now...

📦 Restore data gradually

🔍 Find app/settings causing heat

My experience says this is purely caused by some third-party app that you may have installed.

I am not aware of the ambient temperature in which you are using the iPhone. However --> Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable ...

Store the device where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.

Use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might cause the device to change its behavior to regulate its temperature. Using an iOS device in very cold conditions outside of its operating range might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause the device to turn off. Battery life will return to normal when you bring the device back to higher ambient temperatures. Using an iOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.
