This happens on 3 phones all using iOS 11.3 while browsing google on safari or using the Facebook app my iPhone X, iPhone 7 for work, and a spare 6s all get warm underneath the camera area. I know this is where the antennas and processor are but I’m just wondering if this is normal?

Temps have been around 75-80 here and my 7 gets super warm when using CarPlay in the car believe it’s 12 Watts. Also my external thermometer shows that back of the phone is roughly 88 degrees and internally probably 96.8, my ligaments are roughly 84 lol sorry don’t mean to be technical just trying to figure this out if I’m crazy.

I guess I’m just wondering if this happens to anyone? It’s not extremely hot usually and it may just be I have cold skin? Also what temp does the iPhone generally sit at if anyone knows.


Thank you

There a few Threads dealing with the temp issue if you are curious but I don’t worry about it
