Iphone 5s very very hot only when I'm playing games

Hello everybody I've got a problem with my Iphone 5s 32g (spacegrey) he's becoming very very hot when I'm playing games, specially when I'm playing gameloft's game. For anything else it works perfectly, no problem with battery etc... Someone could help me? i bought this iphone for 700euros and I whant to play big games because this is his third fonction after calling and chatting...They said he is the best but play when it is very very hot it's not pleasant at all I hope someone could help me thank you

I was on 7.1.1 and had the same problems. Iphone 5s got hot and was draining in 4 to 5 hours. Restoring from back-up and resetting (pushing home button and on/off switch), did not solve the issue.

What did the trick for me was a restore to factory settings with the 5s connected to iTunes (cable). It first sets up like new iPhone, reloading and installing that latest firmware. This is then followed by a restore of your back-up if you one.

It is like new! All issues solved and it is also more responsive.

Now with all default features switched on it was 100% when I went to sleep and still 94% in the morning.

It appears to me that an update sometimes goes wrong leaving the 5s still working but causing strange behaviour under the hood.

Hope this helps

It is normal for the phone to get quite warm when using graphics-intensive games and some GPS navigation apps. As long as it doesn't overheat and shut down, this isn't a problem.

iOS devices: Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
