iPhone 7 Overheating

Dear Apple developers my iphone 7 is getting so hot that it almost burning my hand. Iphone 7 is the worst iphone I have ever had:(((((((

Apple is not reading here. If your phone is overheating, you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or at an Authorized Apple Service Provider and have it evaluated.

A recall is appropriate when there is a problem affecting a large number of devices. As there are over 100 million iPhone 7's in use, and very few reports of what you describe, it is most likely a problem with your specific phone. Not something that a recall would fix. And it's what warranties are for.

Note that any phone will get hot when being charged, used for long calls, interactive video games, or long downloads, or combinations of these activities. It isn't a problem unless it displays a message saying that the phone needs to cool down (meaning the temperature has essentially gone above normal human body temperature).

I have also faced this type of issue and it happens every now and then.

Basically problem lies with 2 things

1. Any change in settings

2. 3rd party apps

So I generally fix this by resetting any setting which I have recently changed. And it most of the time my heating issue is resolved.

Also if you are not able to drawdown which setting tone changed do not go for compete resetting.

Go to reset option and reset home screen layout then location then network (any one of this not all in sequence)and then check if issue is resolved.

However I don't feel there is any permanent fix for this it's an oscillating problem for all users.

Any issue with third party app can easily be identified by checking battery usage by apps and then uninstall it.

Hi

Suspect it could not be an issue of usage of apps or network data or background apps

I just bought it yesterday, connected to laptop to restore a backup , found it getting hot extreme.

Today just now was watching a video and the phone suddenly got very hot as well.

With high processing speed and better battery life as promoted for Iphone 7 compared to Iphone 6,the phone is supposed to handle more process, rather then having a solutions as like clear cache data or close unused apps or use only the data while is required!

Can someone address this issue proper please ?

I am going to visit the apple store today again, feeling irritated to go back and forth after the purchase to understand whats wrong with my new phone.

The iPhone has built in temperature sensors that will shut it down if it gets too hot. As long as this doesn't happen the phone is not overheating.

Many activities will cause the phone to get warm. Using the camera is one. Playing video is another. Playing interactive games, especially if they are multi-user and thus using data as well. Charging in general, if the state of charge is below 80%. And charging while doing something else will make it even warmer. Using it for voice or cellular data when the signal strength is weak (1 or 2 dots) requires a lot of energy, and will also cause it to get warm.

I’m not even on iOS 10. I’m a developer. On the current iOS 11 BETA 4 and I’m having issues as well. I hope they fix this when the next iOS along with the new iPhone is released. I never knew others were experiencing the same as me. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

If it were a third party application it would have happened before I downloaded the new iPhone OS. My guess is that the new OS was tested on an empty iPhone, so when someone uses a relatively active phone, full of apps of all kinds, the new OS doesn't know how to respond to the added power-draw of the apps, and it overheats. just a guess mind you. When I posted this on FB, people started responding with, 'yes, it happened shortly after downloading the new OS' ...so Bob's your uncle.

I noticed my iphone 7 getting hot while playing songs and watching videos. Heating problem so what to do

Mine is also overheating I paid way too much for this crap that's happening , I'm taking it back on satu

My new iPhone 7 overheats as soon as it starts to play video, download files, or play music. It even heats up when I'm taking photos.
