📱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.

Okies, lets define over heating.
Are you seeing the warning that Bob showed? If not, while your phone may be hot, it's not overheating.

Your phone will get warmer when it's charging. That's normal.
Okies, lets define over heating. I have used iphone 4S, iphone XR, ipad too. and this is 2026 and tech is soo grown, and the tech giant apple's new phone is having an heating issue which makes me wonder how the technology defines a tech giant.

When exactly did you update the iOS? Was it a few days ago, a week, a month or when exactly?
It’s possible something went wrong with the update or even the download. What troubleshooting steps have you performed so far?
Let's define "Overheating".
The iPhone is not overheating unless you see a red thermometer on the screen with a message that the phone must cool down before you can use it.
