Fix iPhone Overheating Issue
Advertisement
The Problem: Your iPhone feels hot to the touch, or you get a warning: "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it."
The Short Answer: This happens during heavy use (gaming, GPS) or charging. If it happens randomly, an app might be stuck in a loop.
Quick Fixes
Method 1: Remove the Case
Thick rubber cases trap heat. Take it off to let the metal back reject heat.

Method 2: Stop Charging
Fast charging generates a lot of heat. Unplug it and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Method 3: Close Background Apps
If the phone is hot in your pocket, an app is running wild.
- Swipe up to close all apps.
- Turn on Low Power Mode (Settings > Battery), which throttles the CPU to cool it down.
