iPhone 4S gets warm

When browsing the internet, I've noticed that my iPhone 4S gets really hot. I can especially feel heat coming out of the sim card slot area. Anyone having the same issue?


I've made an appointment for tomorrow with Genius Bar to have them take a look.

iOS 5, iPhone 4S

So I just got back from the Apple store. First off, unless they see an error on their end with the phone they won't replace it with a new one. I spoke with the advisor guy and told him how I travelled far just to come to my appointment and I know that it'll happen again with the phone heating up. He ended up exchanging it after some influencing on my part.


The phone, so far, is ok. Gets a bit warm but not as hot as my old one. I'll keep you up-to-date with the progress of it.


I'm under the Sprint network btw.

Yeah, when he told me to do that I specified that I h already restored and master referred 3x's. It does seem that it is their answer to everything. It's worth trying. If it doesn't solve it, I'd go back and get it replaced. These phones do get warm, but in my case and in yours I'm sure that it's getting too warm to hot. I've noticed a HUGE difference with mine. It isn't as warm as the one I previously owned. The last one got hot, not warm but hot
