iPhone 17 base variant heating during app installation or uninstallation

Hey guys, I just wanted to know if there are any heating issues with the iPhone 17 base variant. When installing apps or uninstalling any apps or any different scenario, the phone feels a bit warm. This is for an India unit.

It usually stays warm for about 30 minutes or so when I use it for browsing, then it cools down after some time.
Is this concerning should I go to the service centre

When you do things like browse the internet, stream music, play games, you make the battery works harder and when the battery works harder, it generates heat as a byproduct. Unless you are seeing an image of a thermometer on your screen accompanied by a message the phone can't be used until it cools down, there is no reason to be concerned or visit a service center.
