iphone 6 plus heats up while playing games like Asphalt 8 and GT racing 2

I too am having the same problem and don't think it's "normal". I understand that heavy usage heats up the chip and the battery. However, I've had quite a few iPhones by now (1, 2, 3, 4S, 5S and now 6). This phone is getting way hotter than any of the earlier versions. Occasionally the auto-brightness will change to dim setting. It'll do it even when the auto-brightness is turned off?!

So I'm guessing it's the phone "protecting itself" from overheating? Took it to an Apple Store and they were scratching their heads, weren't sure what was going on? Said all the tests came out good and it shouldn't be happening? Well, it is but primarily when I play games or watch videos.

Ps. As far as the other guy missing sarcasm in an earlier reply - I too missed it.

Lot of people, like myself are "sarcastically challenged". LOL

Then there's always the risk of running into a linguistic barrier if the person inquiring uses a different language as his/her native tongue.

Here's an online definition I found:

"- Sarcasm is sometimes explained as hostility disguised as humor. The origin of the word sarcasm derives from the Greek word “sarkazein” which literally means “to tear or strip the flesh off.” Hence, it’s no wonder that sarcasm is often preceded by the word “cutting” and that it's often misunderstood."

In plain English - many, definitely not all, but many sarcastic people are real jerks who simply enjoy feeling superior to others. 😉

Jonathan is an arse

What warrants the sarcasm?

Here we have an individual who is genuinely concerned about there device

If he, Jonathan, has nothing constructive to offer, shutting his trap is a good out.... and you encouraging his buffoonery, well what can I say

Dear Sir

I have using IPhone 6 (16GB). I have face following problems in my iPhone

(1) In use my iPhone to use online any functions like that Video Calling, Playing Game, Play YouTube video etc. My iPhone is over heating.

(2) Many time I have called in your costumers helpline number but not received any positive response in your site.

First time purchase your device in believes your brand but still face problem in your device 😰😰😰

So your saying a game that pushes the hardware and has the screen on for a long time causes the device to heat up?

How strange.

Sarcasm is lost on some people 😉

You missed Johnathan's sarcasm. This is a normal situation. Anytime you play a game or do anything that pushes the limits of the hardware and screen, the phone will get hot.

As pointed out its because the processor is being used hard which in turn generates heat. Any computer will do the same thing. Do you have a case on the phone? If so remove it. The heat can dissipate quicker. There's nothing wrong with the phone or software.

Hi

If you think your iPhone is getting to hot it maybe a battery fault .

Make an Appointment at apple store .

Iphone will still be under warranty .

Cheers

I did go to the Apple Store, they ran several tests on my phone and said it passed. Couldn't explain why it was getting hot, although "very warm" is probably a better term. They said I have another 5 months worth of warranty and offered to replace it. I decided to hold off for now since switching is such a pain, especially for those of us who're always "on call". Also, I saw several message boards where people complained about this issue and figured a new phone would probably have the same problem? I'm hoping iPhone 6S comes out in the next 5 months, if not I'll probably end up replacing this phone before the warranty expires..
