iPhone Xs Max Heat Issue

i bought an i phone Xs 256 GB and it also heats when I use it for even minor tasks in the same place ( back side near camera ).

I was thinking to use my 1 year Guarantee but now since the problem is common I might wait for a software update..

If you’re labelling excessive heat as is not safe and switching off as you put it, then that is not what we’re saying we’re having.

Everything you’ve pointed out on why a phone may heat up is not what we previously have had experienced on our older iPhone devices.

I for one have had an iPhone from day one and have had every update along with my wife.

we are both retired and not so young now and we definitely don’t do what most younger generation do on their iPhones as far as games and so on.

You will find that most of us complaining of overheating never had experienced these issues as such with the previous iPhones we’ve had in the past.

just about everything that we were doing on the previously owned ones did not have this over heating problem.

Now you point the reasonings of overheating possibilities are irrelevant to our situations.

I for one have noticed from day one as soon as I Would put it for charging, not whil usin it.

But the wife’s phone which is exactly the same as mine does not have this issue.

So having read some posts having issues I’m having I have concluded that there is a defect with some of these iphones without doubt.

I wouldn’t be surprised now if I was to further search on other websites ( I have seen same issues on two other sites before this one) that there would be a whole lot more of the same overheating issues with the iPhone XS Max.

I haven’t seen anyone complaining about “excessive” heat here.

We’re not talking excessive heat here!

you will find that the majority of the people including myself are having an issue with the back of the phone heating up compared to when we have had the previous iPhones we had.

I faced similiar issues too, like browsing through safari.

How about when just setting it up out of the box? Feels like a heating pad in my hand.

hello I have the same issue, it is heating up even we use small applications, i hope apple can solve the issue by next update

All of a sudden I'm experiencing excessive heat on back of my iPhone Xs Max

Neither I nor anyone else here has knowledge of that, nor could we comment if we did.

If you feel strongly about it, let Apple know here:

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

yes, if you send the voice message over whatsap, you will feel the heat as well, check / Annoying ( i have reported this issue to whatsap support as well - support@support.whatsapp.com )

Sir. My iPhone XS Max get warm sometimes with the use of whatsapp and with calls . I did Count the time , 10 minutes and get warm . Here in my country this phone did cost me 1.700 USD with taxes. This problem canta exist. With games ok i agree but with whatsapp and calls , no.

this is my second-day using iPhone xs max and just now was watching Instagram stories and the back of the phone just under the back camera got so hot which did not happen the first day of using!!!!!! just checking online and found you have same issue !!! so disappointed

it is an issue, of course, an issue!!!! you keep saying "get warm" iT IS NOT WARM IT IS VERY HOT !!!! we can know as if it is a normal issue or not !! I am using iPhone 5s, 6, X, why none of them getting this issue? and only the Xs MAX so there must be something wrong with it (issue) !!! even my Huwaue P9 not getting this much hot when I am using it extensively!!!

We are not talking about if it ahut off or not of course not!!!! I am talking about heat that makes you discomfortable to hold it and no need for you to defend anything tc you and your thermo...

One annoying side effect of this heat issue is the dimming of the display. Even at full brightness, and True Tone setting OFF, the display brightness abruptly dims to ~50% brightness when the device gets warm.
