I'm having the exact same problem, noticed it a couple of days ago when i felt heat coming out of my pocket. my iphone 5 was pretty hot and kept getting hotter to a point where i started to fear for it working properly.

now my battery life is only a couple of hours long, and the iphone keeps heating infrequently.


I noticed that it heated the most when it was trying to do something radio related, like send a picture on imessage with little reception.


I never had this problem before updating to ios 6.1.4.

Thanks paul for sharing your experience now it seems like i am not only one who is having this issue. But now what we can do about this problem as this heating issue happens all of sudden. I hope discussing this issue on the support is been seen by the experts. After spending good amount of money on this smartphone i dont know why we are having such kind of issues.waiting for the response from other members too. :(

I thought i would find something useful online and that a lot of people are having the same issue. my battery life is ridiculous. today i took my phone off the charger at 10 am, and i had about 20% at around 2 pm. i didnt use any program that would consume extra power or did anything i wouldnt usually do.

My phone is always a bit warm now and it gets peaks of heat.

Im aware the iphone 5's battery doesnt last long, especially with lte and cellular data, but a couple of hours after a full charge is unacceptable.


I read elsewhere that it was the ios 6.1.3 that was causing the heating issue, but ihad absolutely no problem before updating the os.
