iPhone 5s heating up

I too have this problem with my iphone 5S dude. My phone heats up with normal usage, while playing games and itunes syncing. Frustrating after spending 800 dollars on a phone. I had Galaxy Note 2 and never had this problem. Anyone please help.

Surprisingly no one is replying on threads that talk about heating up of iphone... any clue?? I have the same issue. switching on 3g drops the battery to abysmal levels!

With the heating issue are u seeing a warning about the device over heating and need to wait to use it if not, sounds like normal heat transfer from the aluminum case rather then the plastic of the galaxy that was mentioned

Today I went to apple service center and explained the heat issues. They have asked me leave the phone with them for 2 days to diagnose it. If the problem persists, the phone will be replaced.

I suggest you take it to nearest apple service center and have it replaced.

I do not see a warning but the phone literally gets hot that I cannot hold it. That is obviously not normal. My friend has HTC one which has aluminum casing and doesnt heat up like this.

Have you tried restarting the phone?

I am using 5s for couple months now. I am seeing the same thing. Most of us already know those battery saving tips and kill all app buisness. This is my third iphone they get hot with heavy use. Odd thing about 5s is it gets hot with minimal use even if u switch screen off kill all apps put in aero plane mode nothing happens. Phone stays hot and loses 10-20% in same amount of minutes when it is shut off and aero plane mode. I use wifi don't use lte much. This all is happening on wifi. Apple ppl are ignoring these threads so bad. I don't care I have a Mac or iPad or iPhone I'm not buying any apple product in future. That's why Samsung is stealing their business because they deserve this. Just sitting on their billions dollars not giving a clarification. Rip Steve jobs hope u r not able to see all this.

Just got my 5S 64Gb. Sync from the backup at iTunes was no worries and no heating problems. The heating comes when 4G in transfering data. It really gets too hot to be held on hands. Any solutions? When will Apple taje a stand on this? I cant believe after so many tests this issue wasnt notice.

I have been using a 5s for about 2 months now, and have noticed the heating issue recently. I dont think its an issue with 4g because at home I have EDGE only, and in my home I have wlan.

I observed that when any data in inbound, that is where the heating issue starts.

Hmm. I've iPhone 5S for a month and a half now and not experienced massive heat. Some heat while playing a very graphics intensive game, but never too hot to the touch. If you are using a case take it off. Also if you are at the edge of a tower or at the edge of a wifi. Since you are at the edge it will be searching for a stronger signal, constantly. This caused my old 4S to heat up and drain battery. My 5S will drain battery and heat up, not as much as the 4S though. Hope this will help. Seems I got a good one.

iPhone 5s, Sliver 32gb

Also

The last resort if none of these ideas work would to take a trip to the genus bar.

EDIT

My 5S will drain battery on the edge of a wifi or tower but not generate heat unlike my old 4S

In my case I didn't have any issues when I bought it brand new.

After one month of clean use, I had an issue with the data. Unable to load any of the pages saying error in connectivity blah blah blah......

I contacted my ISP. They asked me to r-insert my SIM and restart.

No use at all. From then I noticed this overheating while charging. From then I feels like battery is draining as if its in F1 race. Juz 6 or 7 hrs. That's it.

My frequently used apps are fb, whats app, viber, asphalt, temple run, youtube and iBook.

I have purchased iPhone 5s before one and month ago.Before one week it has been started the heating issue on normal usage before it was ok whether I used skype or watching videos on YouTube but now it gets hot even I browse on internet or I am writing reply message it starts heating and this issue I had when i restored it from iTunes and after that I again restore from icloud the problem is same and I have contacted online with apple expert he told me to get it to apple center may they wool repair or replace it let see what would happen or what will they tell me after that I will reply again

Thanks

Immo

I think apple should reconsider its manufacturing process not to supple 800 dollar luxury phone with such bull **** problems that will annoy their customer may I will reconsider to switch to samsung galaxy series.

Thanks apple for giving such problem

You right I am having same problem do you get any repair
