iPhone 7 Overheating

You should call Apple to have them document that in case it happens again. OR- go right to the store and tell them. They need to know how much this is happening.

My new iPhone 7 Pro was restored from backup and from the beginning it got very hot by the camera.

Reset Network Settings did the trick for me.

Delete your YouTube app and re download it and it should help your heating problem.

I have the same issue. I went to settings and found out that the YouTube app is consuming a lot of battery for “background activities”.

For now I avoid using the app and use the web. I hope apple can work with google and figure out a solution soon

I bought mine through AT&T but got my replacement from the Apple Store's Genius Bar. AT&T would not replace it for me. Luckily we have an Apple Store at our mall.

To force restart an iPhone 7 or 7+ hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

I am having the same issue. I noticed my iPhone 7 was getting REALLY hot when I was restoring all my data from iCloud. I tried a restore, then even exchanged my iPhone for a new one and the heat problem is still there. I'm thinking it's iOS or app related.

Charged my iPhone 7 before going to bed last night. Woke up and saw the battery was at 57%. It was overheating to be hold. The screen showed "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it". Turned off all the apps and the power and waited until it cools down. However, when I plugin the charger, it is getting hot again. Really scary and is considering to bring it to apple store for diagnosis.

I got my iPhone 7 Plus on 9/27 and at first everything was fine. Then it started dropping calls. Later in the day the battery starting draining really fast and I couldn't get it to charge. That is when it started to overheat. I turned it off for an hour and it still was hot to the touch and the battery drained by 20% and it was powered off. Every time I try to charge it the phone overheats. I had all apps closed down and just had it in my purse when I grabbed the phone it was red hot and once again I had the temperature warning. I even tried upgrading to 10.0.2 and it didn't fix it. The only time I could get the phone to cool down was when the battery finally drained completely. When I tried to charge it again it got hot. I am very disappointed with this phone. Worse iPhone I ever owned.

Reboot the phone via Power button and Lower Volume button. Also, are you working from a backup file? If so, I'd recommend keeping the backup on your computer, but restore it brand new to see if it's fixed. I've been having heat issues and battery draining quicker than my iPhone 6 despite the 7 having more processing power and battery life... Will try to let it sit it out for a couple of days, then will restore as brand new phone. If all else fails, am returning it. Good luck.

I bought my iphone 7 two days ago. it is getting very hot, i mean hot not just warm when mobile data is on. Hot enough to make me uncomfortable having it in the pocket. As soon as I switch off mobile data, it cools down pretty fast.

I Was having the same problem.

somehow resetting all settings kinda fixed it.

im not sure tho, I've yet to heavily use it and see how hot it gets.

But i notice it gets really hot when i use FaceTime video.

I have had the same problem. When I got my iPhone 7 Plus towards the end of September, I had it plugged into my computer and was restoring from the cloud onto my phone. I noticed it was getting extremely hot. Not warm, HOT. I immediately called Apple. The tech said that it could be due to the fact that the processor was working hard and for a while to restore everything from the cloud to my phone and it shouldn't do that anymore once everything is restored on the phone and I use it everyday. She asked me "how hot" it was. I told her that when I put it up to my face, it was extremely hot, I couldn't hold it in my hand long. She then said 'well if you put it to your face will it give you a burn?" (That question started getting me mad considering we're talking about a BRAND NEW $900+ phone and she's talking what degree of hot the phone was) I told her I didn't hold it to my face long enough to find out but I felt that had it been in the case I bought, it would have started to melt it. By then, it was done restoring and I did notice it starting to cool down. She took notes and said that it's all on record if I have the problem again. I did notice 2 days ago when I was just using it to check mail & go on FB that it was starting to heat up again. Not quite as hot as when I first got it, but it was warmer then it should have been. If it does it again, I'm either calling them up again or going to Apple store for another phone. Now that I'm seeing how many others are having this problem, I'm getting very mad.😠

I Have IPhone 7 plus 128gb and I noticed overheating when I used YouTube. Also my battery drained very fast. Updated to latest iOS and restarted phone couple of times. Switched off refreshing of apps in background as it seemed it was using battery when app left open. But with new phone of this range that should not happen. My iPhone 6 Plus was working better. I think it might be the same problem what Samsung note 7 had but just not that bad. I did not see this problem mentioned on apples support page. No wonder, people would stop ordering.

Thank you. I have my new IPhone over one week now and the overheating problem did not occur anymore. Not sure what made that. My battery is better as well. I have to mention that I switched off apps background refreshing and restart my phone couple of times. I did not delete YouTube but I will if the overheating starts again. I did not have problem during charging of my phone even from not genuine apple cable ... just for info here.
