iPhone 7 Overheating

i have had the same problem with my iphone 7 ...it seems that the problem of heat occurs with a big number of iphones ...i finaly decided to get back to iphone 6s at least it never get hot that much

Holding down power and home buttons on the iPhone 7 takes screenshots...

Apple does not do business in Iran. Support is not available for devices being used in Iran.

You shouldn't need the down volume button to turn off your phone. Just hold the power button until "Slide to power off" appears, or go to Settings/General and scroll to the bottom to "Shut down"

I have the same problem bought the I phone 5 months ago then suddenly started having problem where the phone heats up recently it's been hitting up so much that I can't touch it so what I did got in contact with Apple they did a diagnostic on it and said there wasn't any messages occurring that it's been heating up however I explained I understand it's not showing on there but I was scared to b around my phone after paying all that money so what the advisorie did was made an appointment near to me with Genius Bar but am just really thinking what will be the out come weather the will b able to fix it or give me another device I wouldn't of bothered going through all that hassle am only doing it Caus I don't want my money going to waste and don't want the phone blowing up on my hand or my head then I will b headless or arms less not just with Apple recently a lot of companies being having this issue where the phoning going haywire, wanted to sell it then I thought what if I do that and blows up on somoneeles hand or head after giving a lot of thought I didn't go through didn't wanna risk somone elses life any advice would be appreciated:)

I brought my iPhone 7 the day before i came on holidays on the 21st of March, its been working fine since buying it. Last night i had spare time and as i got 6 months free trial on Apple music when purchasing my phone i decided to connect it all up. This morning i have been woken to my phone extremely hot, like worrying hot and it won't turn on. I reading your comments i think the phone has fried itself overnight just sitting on charge. Its been a week and a half and i have lost all of my photos. I will not be a very nice person at Apple today. I wish them all luck with the mood i am now in!!

Mine has overheated on me 2 times before and I reset the phones setting and it fixed the issue. To be clear i didn't have to factory reset my phone I just had to "reset all settings". For some reason that is fixing the issue. I'm going to take it into apple to see if they can see if there is a better fix for this issue.

Apple is taking everyone for a ride. I am not falling for it anymore. I am gifting my wife a Google Pixels instead of iPhone 7 now. I have decided this after buying an iPhone 7 plus and using it for 2 months now.

There are so many flaws. And apple is totally oblivious. Very very sad.

iPhone issues:

1. The keybord conflict and disapperance issue. I have a Google keyboard installed but whenever there is a need to input passcodes and passwords, the default inbuilt keyboard will come up. But majority of the times, no keyboard comes up when inputting a passcode or password and even amount on the mobile banking sites. And it's very frustrating. I have to reboot to solve this issue temporarily. It comes back again and it's for sure.

2. The assistive touch flickering and changing positions issue. The assistive touch jumps up and down all the time. It goes up Everytime the keyboard comes up and stays right above the keyboard. But a lot of times it moves a few millimeters down and up and than down again and stays on the face of the keyboard and I will have to move it up out of the keyboard.

3. The brightness changing on its own issues. The brightness is supposed to adjust itself according to the lux levels but it's weird when it dims to the very minimum in the same amount of light when it was on around 25% a little while ago.

4. The pull up menu issues. The pull up menu which shows wifi, flight mode, brightness etc. won't come up several many times especially from the right side of the bottom home button. It is more responsive on the left side. Weird.

5. The battery percentage glitch. It was showing as 23% and as soon as I took the charger pin out, it said 67%.

6. The website www.irctc.co.in does not work. I cannot touch anything on this website. I cannot enter username/password. I cannot tap on any links on this website. Nothing. (Latest: it's working now).

7. I tap on download for something such as a new voice for speaking the text or a video which I have received on WhatsApp group, but as soon as I leave the screen the download stops. I come back and I have to start it from scratch.

8. The touch id plays up as well when charging.

9. The back of the phone near the camera gets really warm during usage even if it is not charging.

10. The call divert sign disapperance. I divert my calls to another phone number and I see a call divert sign on my iPhone. And than I switch off the iPhone. Later I turn it on and the call divert is still applicable but the sign disappears. All my calls are being diverted to another number but I am absolutely unaware coz the sign is not there.

This is just so far....

This is totally 100 percent correct my iPhone 7 plus 128gb matte black was getting a little hot.I didn't have the battery issues or none of that but it was getting a little bit hot, also I had the app tutu helper installed. I than went and deleted the app and deleted its cache, than restarted my phone and hard reset it and it has even improved battery life too and it's never been hot ever since.

I use Spotify++ on my iPhone 7 Plus 128gb which I got like 2 days ago and as soon as I start listening to music.. after a couple of minutes.. it would just heat up!!! Is that the problem??? I need help pls.

I press my power & home button together. Is nothing, screen never goes black or relog. Nothing happened. My 128gb iphone 7 always damm hot when I see video or playing game. Available storage still have 102gb. How come ?

My iPhone 7 256GB Matt Black is horribly getting so hot and battery doesn't last. Every new iPhone gets hotter than the previous version. iPhone 6 was better! This might be the last iPhone to purchase. Will move to Android Smartphones for better performance and flexibility. I hate Apple after this iPhone 7 slow performance and overheating like ****.

This is mostly due to the fact that the new phones are completely sealed (water resistance) hence insufficient ventilation. In addition, I believe the components are more jam-packed.

In terms of software, the best thing to do will be to disable Siri which constantly records audio in the background listening for "hey siri". Secondly, try disabling any color filters or Night shift mode if you don't really need them. Lastly, disable raise to wake settings for when the screen is locked. All these constantly run in the background making it impossible for the phone's processor to get a break even when you lock the phone.

My iPhone 7+ has had the overheat problem since before i installed any apps. The camera is also bad for my purposes because i need to take macro images of small objects very close up, and the two lenses make the focus jump left to right, and the camera makes blurry pics if close up. Indeed this is the worst iPhone i ever bought, with overheats, shutdowns, battery drains, Phone Freeze, and rotational gyroscope problems (screen rotation too sensitive).

Im still on iOS 10.2 though as i refuse to update iOs anymore, due to the fact that it is being developed ever more for consumers and social networking, and ever less for content creators and productivity. And i agree with you that Apple have a problem, as i am still using the 2012-2013 iMac, Macbook Air 13 and 11, Mac Mini, iPad, iPad Mini and haven't bought a new device since then except this iPhone 7+ (which i regret). This is because i am waiting for Apple to make a Macbook with a touchscreen, or an iPad with a Mouse. Instead, we got an overpriced Macbook weighing 4 pounds with a 'touchbar' that makes you look away from the screen to operate... and we see a certain other company with full desktop os on ipad size tablets with trackpads and keyboards and touchscreens.. Apple do have a problem indeed

If it was overheating when you first got it, you should have exchanged it immediately. If it's still under warranty, you should have it serviced.

Buying an iPhone 7+ with the expectation you could do macro photography indicates a failure to read the specs or do research.
