iPhone 7 Overheating

Just got my Iphone 7 plus 128GB yesterday afternoon. I was in the process of restoring my setting from the Icloud and left the store because it was taking longer to restore. The reps said once your home and connected to the WIFI, it will continue to restore from there. I got to my car; plugged in my cable charger. I have noticed within 5 minutes or so, the back of the iphone near to the camera lens heats up (warm). I said, "a $938.00 brand new iphone behaving as such rightaway!" cannot be right. When I got home, i tried charging the phone via the wall charger, and it also heats up. I need to bring this back to the apple store ASAP. feeling a bit disappointed. I hope Apple could find a way to fix this... I hope its not a hardware issue like it had to my Iphone 6 plus' (touch screen IC's issue).

Same issue, just received mines a few hours ago. By the time I finished setting it up, the phone was extremely hot and the battery drained. Put it down for a bit, which cause it to cool down. I could feel it heating back up as I type now. I see I'm not the only one.

Did you get yours at Apple or via your wireless carrier? I'm on my replacement one since Wednesday. Yesterday, I reset my network settings. Followed by deleting all apps, reboot phone, reinstall app fresh, reboot. When I run this Sleep Cycle app, the iPhone 6 drained by 26% in 8h23m, while the iPhone 7 was drained by 40% while both are on airplane mode. Still same issue. This morning, I reset my iPhone 7 to factory settings. When it's charging it's still warmer than all my other iPhones I've previously owned. I'll reinstall the apps and will use it for a few more days. If that really fails, I would have to return the iPhone 7. I'd go through Verizon, but would Apple be able to replace this instead of me resorting to a refurbished version? It's likely I'd have to return completely till they figure it out. It would be a big disappointment, but it's a brand new phone, not to mention it's my second one because Verizon replaced the 1st iPhone 7 with heating up issues. Have you guys had any luck with yours recently?

Mero1980, are you working from a backup? If you are, then I'd recommend starting fresh without restoring from your backup in case it has incompatible files that some of the developers have yet to updated for iOS 10.0.2. Then give it 24-48 hours and see how it performs with heat and battery life. Although, I wiped out my new iPhone 7 and started off as fresh, it is still warm, but just not as bad. Same thing cannot be said about battery life as it still *****! haha. I'll just have to monitor my usage before I go complaining to Apple. They would've asked if you've done so and so. I could at least tell them, yep. Good luck.

Surprisingly, my phone stopped over heating. I did nothing to it. I think its a one off experience when you start using it, and then the problem goes. It over heated for only the first two days, so much I could not even keep it in my jeans pocket. Strange!

Sent my Iphone back to apple on 5th as having the same issue to the point that on charge it was actually loosing power and not charging and it was heating up so much I couldn't hold it!

Currently it is a step 2, diagnosing product but its been at that stage for 2 days now!

Gonna be really annoyed if they send it back saying no issue!!

Apple always gives the same answer and the same ways to fix the problems. The problem is not the phone. It's the software. 10.1.1 does not have battery protection so the phone charges continuesly and overheats. I even changed phones and still have the same problem. I even tried all the apple products they all have the same issues now

Hi,

That's good to know since I have been having problems. Just one question did you try low power mode in the battery settings? It shouldn't turn on before 30% battery charge. If it does it mean there's a problem with the battery.

Y'a did that but I loose my pictures from my old phone. Also it still continuously charges and heats up. The real way to see the problem is to activate your low power mode. It's suppose to activate at 30% but you will see it automatically activates at any amount of charge.

My gets overheated when charging... and when at regular use also, but when chargin it feel that it's going to burst... scary

I got my first iPhone 7 32GB on 16th, took it to Apple yesterday, 22nd, for an exchange and now am having the same problem with the replacement.

I hope it's iOS 10 and can be fixed...

Did it work? I would like to know before investing time and energy to trying it.

Me too! Brand new iPhone 7, overheats when in use and battery runs down fast.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. Apple Stores lie now and will try and give you a new phone. The problem is that they will give you a refurbished phone. They will lie and say it isn't but it is. So they take your brand new phone that you paid a hole bunch and give you a repaired one. The worst part is that the problem doesn't go away. So they get a new phone just by lying and give you a broken used one.

Yes I have had 3 iphone 7s since the 26Th December 2016 1 new that I bought & 2 replacements

When I am talking on any video calls FaceTime or WeChat screen goes dim and very hot and shuts down and emergency comes on scree
