Over heating

[suken123]

With LTE on when I speak on the phone the handset gets real hot around my ear. Anyone else facing this problem?

Haven't experienced this at all.

What's your signal like?

 

[Rob Phillips]

What device are you using?

 

[suken123]

Signal is good using 6s plus

My 6s plus never gets warm. It only get slightly warm if i download alot of content in a short time period.

no heat issue here, but I tend to cut calls off when small talk ensues.

No heat issues, I did experience the same with a iPhone 5 when it was new. Took it to the Apple Store and they promptly exchanged it.

I'm having no problems with overheating. I've been streaming the NFL football on Yahoo since 9:15AM (over 3 hours), no overheating whatsoever

I have found that when I am on LTE and also talking on the phone that's when the back heats up

you must have a Samsung chip... :laughing:

Not having this problem, maybe Apple will give you a replacement.

My 6s Plus seems to get warm up by the speaker. Not too concerned at this point. But watching it.

Here's a few tips for a phone that gets too hot and uses too much battery.
1. Reboot the phone.
2. Turn off automatic updates.
3. Turn off unnecessary apps you suspect are running in the background. (Facebook)
4. Change the level of brightness. Turn it down as low as possible.
5. Restore the phone as new. (Not from back up).
Hope this helps someone.

Update on my warming from yesterday: I suspected a rogue app or two may have been running in the background even with background App Refresh off. I killed 4 I suspected and my phone has ceased to get too warm. I thought at first it was me charging while using. But I've been doing that today and it's not warm.

I noticed this last night for the first time, played a couple different shooter games for a half hour or so. got real warm around the apple logo area. cooled off afyer i stopped, but i was concerned.

 

[Rjgjr#IM]

that what caused it for me.

Mine still gets hot when playing graphic intensive games... Unkilled,mc5 etc. I called Apple and they ran a diagnostic of the phone. Said everything looked fine. If gets worse to call them. I still think it's a little warmer than it should be.

No problem here either. I did notice it gets pretty warm when I'm also playing a shooter game for awhile. I'm pretty sure that's common, past previous phones use to do that as well.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Warm is not going to hurt. It's normal for the iPhone to get warm when playing intense games, charging while using, even using some of the photo editing apps. There's no need for concern unless the phone gets "Hot" to the touch. When it gets too hot, you'll see a warning.

Yep, mine does this too. Samsung chip, probably a faulty batch.
