iPhone 7 heating up?

That video is probably fake or doctored. Many have sensed the warming of the iphone 7 a bit when charging, but far below temperature of ignition.

In addition to leaving individual feedback for Apple, we should try to compare expieriences here to try to isolate the precise factors that cause it to heat. After all it is in our best interest.

MY HEATING FACTORS

• My iPhone 7-128GB does NOT seem to heat when not charging.

• It also does not seem to heat when charging while using apps like Mail, iMessage, Phone, Pages, Word, etc.

• The heating seems to occur while charging, if I use a video app, particularly YouTube, whether viewing a video on the phone or mirroring to a TV.

• It cools down while charging when I close the video app and put the iPhone to sleep for a few minutes.

I have the same issue. I was almost about to return it to the store but though to wait for couple more days and find out more pattern for this issue.

I also noticed the phone getting heated up while high processor/memory usage. i.e. download numerous files at the same time.

Lets see what apple has to say regarding this.

Thank you.

I have the same problem. I had to put it on top of a towel wet with chilled water, considering its water proof and all that!

I have the same problem as you. After charging over night I noticed today that whatever I'm doing with my iphone 7 It's heating and my battery goes very fast...

Same for me. iPhone 7 Jet Black 128. Getting very warm with any usage.

Same issue here as well.. I have tried to turn off Siri and other items that may drain the battery, but none has helped thus far. I have barely used my phone today and it is noon and the battery is at 56%.

I have the iPhone 7 Black 128 and my phone is also getting very warm from usage (lite) and the battery is also draining very quickly. I have erased the phone and set it up as a new one just in case some of my old apps were causing the problem and I still have the same issue. Help!!

same issue here. Battery heats up, and discharges quickly. Does not last at all as they advertised.

Just got my phone today and it heated up during setup and downloading back up from iCloud while plugged into my desk top. I had the same problem with my old 5c when I toke it to the apple store I was told it had a virus, we erased all content and downloaded back up from iCloud, and hasn't heated up since. I hope these new phone aren't preloaded with a virus! I don't see how this issue is marked solved?

I did nothing and Wednesday it stopped. This was before 10.0.2 came out too. Just seem to fix itself. Guessing some background process?

Things are working great now, no excessive heat.

Seeing as there is no such thing as a virus for iOS that doesn't seem likely. The issue seems to resolve itself soon after setup, probably based on how much media you have.

My new iphone 7 gets extremely hot when using a car charger. So hot, in fact, that I unplugged it before it was fully charged. Doesn't get that hot with wall charger. Battery life seems fine.

Watching to see if others are having the same problem.

I've been having similar issues to when restoring from the 6 backup. It gets to be uncomfortably warm. When idly charging without any applications opened in the background, the back surface of the iPhone 7 gets to be warm. My previous iPhones did not do this. Even with the current iPhone 6, when I did a restore to replicate the issue, my iPhone 6 is still cool. It got a little warm, slightly less warm compared to the iPhone 7 when it's charging idly. The CSR at Verizon Wireless provided me a replacement and the same issue occurred. When it was charging at the store for 5 minutes, the surface is cool. Not sure if it's because there was nothing on the phone and if the battery was already at 95% when I started charging it. Both are running on the same iOs. I ran one sleep app all night and my iPhone 6 was drained by 23%, while the iPhone 7 was drained by 31%. Apple's iPhone announcement indicated longer battery life, but from my current situation, it doesn't appear so, but I'll give it a couple of days to get settled with whatever else running in the background and will attempt to wipe it out clean and start fresh rather than from a backup to see if it helps just in case some application files are not compatible with the new iPhone/iOs. Maybe you folks can give it a shot too. If all else fails, return the phone. It's too new to be not be functioning as it should. A few of my friends restored from backups too and had no complaints so far. It could be we run different apps also. Good luck!

I got my new iPhone 7 tonight and By the time I'd finished setting it up my battery was at 45% so plugged it in to charge. A few hours later I picked it up and it was roasting to the extent I can't use it. My screen displays the following message "Temperature, iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it." and only allows Emergency calls.

I've had previous iPhones and never encountered this problem. What's the point in having a phone you can't use until it cools down? Apple any suggestions to rectify this issue?
