    What to do if Your iPhone is Getting Hot?

    iPhone overheating is often manifested by abnormal battery power consumption, battery draining fast, and slow charging. You can start from the battery usage. Go to Settings > Battery and check battery usage by app. If the app activity is abnormal, we can then solve the problem.

    1: Background app leads to overheating

    Enter the home page of the iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Turn off unnecessary apps and leave the chatting apps on. Then go to App Store in settings to turn off the Apps and App Updates. In addition, reduce the use of Bluetooth and turn off location services.

    GPS is one of the culprits that make the iPhone hot, and a major cause of mobile phone battery draining too fast. After you have finished using the map navigation app, you should then turn it off and don’t stay in the map navigation interface for a long time.

    2: Caused by software update

    Go to Settings > General > Reset to erase all data and content. Enter the verification code and erase immediately. Please pay attention to the necessary backup before performing this.

    These may also make your iPhone hot:

    1. Run high-power-consuming apps: such as playing games, playing movies, large amounts of data transmission, mobile phone loading too high. Close the high-power-consuming apps will solve the problem.

    2. Play the game or call while charging. Since the battery is charged and discharging, the battery may get damaged and you need to end the game or calling

    3. Poor lithium battery: iPhone users who have changed the battery need to be attentive. You must go to authorized shop for replacement.

    4. App failure: Sometimes some apps failure will occupy a large amount of memory, so the mobile phone is highly loaded, and these apps can be ended.

    5. Protective shells and other covers: Some inferior or excessive protective shells may affect the iPhone heat dissipation, causing the phone to be hot. Taking off the protective case or cover can solve the problem.

  • Why does the iPhone get hot in use?

    Why does the iPhone get hot in use?

    Some users found that with the rise of summer temperature, the iPhone seems to get hotter more easily. Apple has always suggested in the official website documents that iOS devices need to be used in an appropriate temperature environment, preferably between 0 º C and 35 º C. Low temperature or high temperature environment may cause the device to change its behavior to adjust its temperature. Using iOS devices for a long time in a hot environment may permanently shorten battery life.

    If you find your iPhone gets hot, please observe whether it is: 

    1. When activating and setting iPhone for the first time;

    2. When restoring the backup on iPhone;

    3. When the app re-indexes or re-analyzes the data (for example, after the software is updated, “photo” sets a mark for a face, place or keyword);

    4. When using graphics-intensive or augmented reality apps or features.

    In the above cases, the iPhone needs to read more data. Getting hot is a normal phenomenon. It can return to a normal temperature after completing the relevant process.

    In addition, iPhone may get hot in the following situations, which should be avoided as much as possible: 

    1.Put the equipment in the vehicle in hot weather.

    2. Place the equipment in direct sunlight for a long time.

    3. Use some functions in high temperature or direct sunlight for a long time, such as taking photos outdoors in the heat, using GPS tracking or navigation function in the car, playing graphics-intensive games, or using augmented reality app.

    Because the damage of heat and high temperature to iPhone and battery is irreversible, we should compare the above reasons and pay attention to the use environment to avoid overheating the iPhone.

    If the internal temperature of the equipment exceeds the normal operating temperature range, the equipment will try to adjust its temperature to protect the internal components. When this happens, the iPhone may stop charging, the display becomes dark or black, the signal is weakened, the flash cannot be used, and the performance becomes slower. The equipment should be temporarily stopped and placed in a cool place, waiting for it to cool itself.
