The high temperature of the iPhone is a concern as it can malfunction or damage the internal components of the phone and reduce battery life if it is used continuously for a long period of time. Therefore, it is important to take the necessary measures to fix this problem as soon as possible so that the performance of the phone is not affected or damaged.
There are several reasons for iPhone overheating issues. We explain the most important ones in the attached solutions and offer some ways to fix them:
1- Excessive use of the phone:
If you use your iPhone for intense activities over a long period of time, for example playing high-end games or recording videos, the phone may overheat. You can solve the problem by using less of your iPhone.
2- Update the operating system:
A lot happens during and after installing a new OS update, and some tasks can drain your battery and cause your phone to temporarily overheat. But a few days after installing the update, everything should be back to normal.
Wait for the iPhone to complete all update tasks. However, if the phone is still exposed to high temperatures, then the update is likely to be buggy and you should wait for Apple to release a new update that contains a fix for this problem.
3- Disabled apps:
Some apps have bugs or glitches that make them consume more battery power than necessary, which can cause your phone to overheat even when you are not directly using the app. The correct solution is to identify the corrupted application and uninstall it.
4- Weak signal or high phone data usage:
If you are in a place with a weak signal, the iPhone will keep searching for a stronger network, which may cause the phone to overheat. On the other hand, the constant use of phone data to stream videos, download large files, or restore backups can also cause iPhone overheating issues.
In these cases, the appropriate solution is to move to a place with a better signal while choosing a lower resolution streaming option when watching videos, for example: choose 1080 resolution instead of 4K whenever possible.
5- There are problems with shipping:
Using your iPhone while charging or using a non-Apple charger can cause your phone to overheat. On the other hand, wireless charging generates more heat than using cables.
The correct solution is to use a good quality charger and data cable, remove the phone case when charging, use a wireless charger with a built-in cooling system, or avoid wireless charging.
6- Use a phone cover:
Covering your phone with a case may cause it to overheat. So, it is better to remove the case if this problem occurs frequently.
7- A damaged battery:
Mobile phone batteries can degrade or become damaged over time. If the iPhone battery is swollen or damaged, this can cause the phone to overheat. The correct solution is to repair or replace the battery.
