iPhone 7 Overheating

Mine (my second 7 32gb following Apple replacing my first without question) hasn't overheated since I updated to 10.0.2 and turned off Emergency SOS in privacy>Location services>System services

Could be coincidence...I'll continue to monitor.

Everyone: just take it back to Apple and get a replacement. At least they'all know you're having problems. The more people that do that, the more attention it brings to the issue.

My new iPhone 7 was also overheating and had a drained battery the first several days after I purchased it. I finally discovered my issue: when I purchased it in store, I was in the middle of an iCloud restoration that was not completed.

So from then on, every time I was on my phone it was trying to restore iCloud in the background, thus causing it to overheat. I went to install the iOS system update and it told me I couldn't update until my iCloud finished restoring, and that is when I figured out what happened. I was able to pause the iCloud restore and perform the system update. It has been working fine ever since.

SO after inspection I found out that the lightning cord I used to charge my phone was a generic one. Generic Not an apple cord. Last night I plugged it in with an apple cord and it did not heat up.

NOw I have an issue with some albums that I had in my music library that are not playing.

bbattery life is not bad. Phone is on heavy use from 8 am. YouTube, internet, messaging, insta, ETC.. everything but phone calls I guess And it lasts till about 6ish.

ON sundays where I have to entertain my wife with normal use it'll last till 10 pm. Good 14-16 hours.

I'm having the same problem. I have found it to be the YouTube app that is to blame. If I had used the YouTube app, the next time I went back to my iPhone 7, it would be hot and I would lose lots of battery power...say 40% in 45mins. Also, in the lock screen would be the play/pause control, as if something was still playing in YouTube, even though it wasn't. Once I fully closed YouTube (double -click the home button and swipe away the app), the problem stopped. Now, if I watch a YouTube video, I make sure that I fully close the app each time until YouTube resolve the issue. BBC iPlayer and other video playing apps do not cause this problem.

I'm just off to tell YouTube now.

Hope this helps you too.

also battery is draining very fast...from 100% to 30% after using 27 min of facetime...my iphone 6splus was way better...

so what worked-

i did factory reset and loaded/restored only contact info from my itune backup and nothing else..then i downloaded all apps and recovered all my photos separately after few days. it worked and now it seems to be fine...

This issue seems resolved after updating to iOS 10.0.2

I have a novelty, alias is not much news, but a confirmation same, I tested on iphone 5s a 6s and a 7, the model 5s did not show heating, now the models 6s and 7 have presented and every time you are in the street it leaves Of a network and changes the tower, the cell heats abnormally is not enough to be a superheat itself, but they get really hot, both with ios 10, I tested the same thing in another 6s with 9.3.5 and it does not happen Absolutely nothing, does not heat anything. After taking my 6s in attendance twice, and there is nothing on the hardware, and seeing other 6s and up to model 7 in question, the problem is in IOS10, but not everyone is noticing the warming, but this does not feel Or indifference, well the problem that has occurred since the first version of IOS and until today has not been corrected, so we have hope only in the 11 who knows. In model 7 I noticed that the problem is a little worse in other situations as basic activities and until connected in wifi it heats a little behind, problem goes back and forth. But the worst of warming is how much this on the street moving with or without the 4g on, which is the same with the 6s. Apple Help Please correct heating problems on your devices!

My wife got first iPhone 7 from T-Mobile, it was overheating (hot, not warm) when she was talking on the phone. You couldn't keep the phone near your ear. Went to Apple store, they have replaced it. The second one is getting warm-hottish. Will try to reset network settings and find out which app is creating the problem. I think there is a iOS 10 problem, some apps running in the background are using too much power.

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 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.

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.
