Q: iphone is overheating, and draining battery. how can i fix this?

Hello meh260917,

Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some information about temperature:

When using the device or charging the battery, it is normal for it to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the device to the cooler air outside.

By all means, if you believe the temperature is a concern (along with the battery life), you can isolate the issue by restoring your deviceas new:
