You could have only had your iPhone for a few days at best at this point. Your phone is still indexing the data you moved over to the device, which can take a few days to complete. So even not using the phone much doesn't mean the phone isn't doing anything. And during this process the battery is being used, which does generate heat naturally in a process called Thermo Dynamic Exchange. Give the phone a few days to complete it's housekeeping activities.
And let's also define overheating. When an iPhone overheats, it displays a red thermometer on the screen and advises you can't use the phone until it cools down. If you're not seeing that, your phone ISN'T overheating.
I would recommend you Force Restart your phone, which will force close any app running in the background by following this procedure exactly. In the last step, while holding the side power button, KEEP HOLDING even when you see the slide to power off slider and KEEP HOLDING it until the screen goes black and KEEP HOLDING it until the Apple Logo appears, THEN let go --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

what is the price for iPhone 18 pro max. and what the big benefit of apple care and when you buy Mac ou iPhone . do you license who come with Mac ou take another one .
Price varies by country of purchase and the retailer you choose to purchase from.
Yes, it’s running worryingly hot! I’m not confident on charging it overnight, just looking online is it making it very hot! Battery also isn’t as good. Upgraded to a downgrade and fire hazard?
Same with the 18 pro hot doc charger or cable and drains so quickly insane please apple fix this
Additional information: The battery is above 80% on iPhone 18 Pro.
I'll also add I switched the charger from a Belkin 65W PPS USB 3 PD to Apple 40 W to 60 W dynamic AVS USB PD 3.2 ( ? ) charger. that is also not solving the overheating issue.
I make calls on Gmail audio and it drains my battery so fast and get hot that I can’t even get the phone close to my ear. Do I need to return it or wait for new iOS update??
I’ve had mine for two weeks and it runs very hot when taking photos - not loads and loads of photos - and the battery level does drop quickly. I don’t have background app refreshing turned on.
Let’s hope an update will fix it??
