iPhone 7 Overheating

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.

Mine started doing the exact same thing getting hotter over time, yet showed no kernel panics. Continual resets, even hard fresh installs did nothing. Went in for a swap, "genius" said not hardware related, try installing as a "new iPhone" after a full reset. This made it worse to the point it burned my hand when trying to manually sync photos outside the Apple case.

It was overheating and the screen going black/dark after calls, iMessage, etc. Not having any non-core Apple apps soled nothing. Black was a bad idea, it just makes a badly designed heat dissipation system worse. This is a known flaw.

To add insult to injury, I couldn't get a loaner phone, wouldn't sell a new one for some reason because the "Safety Team" needed to be contacted. So, I had to go pay full retail for an unlocked Android to have a working phone.

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

Please describe "nothing happened" - did you hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons for 10 seconds and the phone did not restart? Or did the phone restart, but the problem was not resolved?

On my 10 day old iPhone 7 plus running iOS 10.2.1, my overheating problem occurred whenever the Tile app was running with location services always allowed and another app was running. This occurred even after updating the Tile app to the latest version.

I had put my phone in my pocket with the video camera on (forgot to turn it off) and within a few minutes, my pocket was really hot.

After turning Tile app location services to never, the overheating problem went away. The Tile app does not have an option to use location services only when it is active on screen.

My guess is that any app using the GPS location services or doing continuous communication via the cellular radio or wifi radio can cause the iPhone 7 plus to overheat. The solution seems to limit the use of GPS to those times when it is truly needed.

Mine does the same too. I'm going to wait till the phone settles itself within the next couple of days. If all else fails, I'll wipe the entire phone out and start from scratch rather than from a backup restore. Whoever wrote meant to be helpful, but clearly does NOT own nor have played with the iPhone 7 in the store. You have to use the Power button for a couple of seconds, then hold down the Lower Volume button at the same time to reboot the iPhone 7. Power button and Home buttons are for previous generations.

This is an edit to my previous post. After only having my phone for 48 hours it is fried from overheating so much. By the time I got with a technician at the Apple store my phone wouldn't even boot up anymore. I have a new one now and so far so good.
