When a processor is pushed hard like when watching a video or playing a game it gets warm. This would be normal behavior. It it is too hot to touch, that would not be normal, but I suspect what you're experiencing is it's warm but not too hot to touch.
If I play any game, watch a video, or spend too long on the phone, it heats up a lot. Worried that I may have a bad piece?

If you think the phone is getting too hot it would be advisable to make an appointment at your Apple Store Genius Bar and have them evaluate the phone.
Its normal not that hot just Luke warm.
Definitely hot and not warm.
Warm I can understand. But esp during gameplay, the camera at the back and the area around it get super hot. I have to stop and give it a break.
